Milo Yiannopolous Speaks at the University of Pittsburgh to Tell Students They Are Intolerant Babies Who Cry at Disagreement, and They... Start Crying About Disagreement Like Intolerant Babies

Apparently we've gone from the code that men shouldn't cry to "men should cry even harder than little babies."

More than 15 students expressed their concerns at the meeting, focusing on issues of diversity and inclusion at Pitt, particularly in terms of race and sexual identity.
Marcus Robinson, president of Pitt's Rainbow Alliance, said after leaving the lecture on Monday, he felt unsafe on campus for the first time.
"So many of us shared in our pain. I felt I was in danger, and I felt so many people in that room were in danger. This event erased the great things we've done," Robinson said. "For the first time, I'm disappointed to be at Pitt."
Robinson suggested that the University should have provided counselors in a neighboring room to help students who felt "invalidated" or "traumatized" by the event.
...

"This is more than hurt feelings, this is about real violence. We know that the violence against marginalized groups happens every day in this country. That so many people walked out of that [event] feeling in literal physical danger is not alright," Claire Matway, a social work and urban studies major, said.

The group that invited Milo even acceded to the rule on campus that such events bear a "Trigger Warning" on fliers. They had the trigger warning. But the easily triggered came anyway, precisely to be triggered.

You should click on the link and scan down. You'll know it when you see it.

Meanwhile, three black female students made up a story about being racially assaulted on a bus, and it turns out... they racially assaulted a white student, and made up the racial assault claim.

The New York Times curiously pre-denounces any conservatives who might point to this episode as emblematic of a problem.

Are we not men? A commenter brings up the word "devolution."

I never understood Devo's schtick about devolution. Seemed to be an impossible thing to me. We'd always evolve, socially and technologically and economically. We wouldn't devolve.

The idea of mankind just devolving into lower animals was... a hateful idea.

But it's exactly what's happening.

But here's the thing: they're not really crying and they're not really babies.

They know perfectly well that they're not in danger. They know that some woman or fabulous gentleman or even Mark Steyn is not a "threat" to them. They're not "really" crying; they're acting aggressively, using victimhood as a weapon to threaten and intimidate.

They know the proximate effect of their victimhood is to make the Boys in Blue crack down on their enemies.

15 I really believe Milo's rise is apart of a real movement in millennials and american men in general to really tear apart this anti masculinity movement in the country. All people know of millennials is what they see, which is the loud mouth activists but I truly believe the actual makeup of the generation is the same as the previous ones, it's only that the men have been neutered to some extent and the ones who believe in old school masculinity have been silenced for fear of having their futures ruined and being ostracized. I believe people like milo are opening their eyes and might just make something of the generation.

How on earth does anyone come away from listening to him feel "physically threatened?"

25 I don't believe millennials are that bad. I think the problem is the establishment (the older generations) are all liberal. Therefore the millennials that are the loudest and most liberal are the ones wo get the attention. While the conservative millennials, who are actually the majority, keep their head down and try to finish school quietly so as not to have their lives ruined.

they are an actual "silent majority"

120 If a liberal said that all NRA members want to shoot black people or something like that, it wouldn't be "offensive" I'm sure. Conservatives are just supposed to suck up any abuse.

Now Milo says people are "morons" and these students feel that they are in real danger, and that they are now disappointed to attend a school that didn't prevent such words from being spoken? Weak.

Weak, and a double standard. I *hate* double standards.

It's really true: in the 60's when liberals weren't dominating anywhere, free speech was the highest virtue. Sacrosanct. Now that liberals dominate? Only acceptable speech may be permitted, and the excuse is "safety".

All the conservative commentators are getting their rocks off mocking Millennial special snowflakes for being crybabies.

But here's the thing: they're not really crying and they're not really babies.

They
know perfectly well that they're not in danger. They know that some
woman or fabulous gentleman or even Mark Steyn is not a "threat" to
them. They're not "really" crying; they're acting aggressively, using
victimhood as a weapon to threaten and intimidate.

They know the proximate effect of their victimhood is to make the Boys in Blue crack down on their enemies.

Are you sure they're faking it?

Remember Bush Derangement Syndrome? I had perfectly reasonable liberal co-workers tell me that Bush was not going to leave office and make himself president for life.

167 We made the mistake of hiring one of these types from the software side of my company to the consulting side, which I guess is more prestigious and probably pays better.

She didn't last one month. She was supposed to help me on one of my projects and had a bad attitude about it and of course ended up not being useful.

This same RUDE person also tried to underhandedly get me to incriminate my male coworker for some imagined offense during her interview. (I was on the phone and nothing offensive happened.) So she was offended yet she still took the job.

After I found out what she was trying to do, I told her in no uncertain terms that she should not involve me in any of her crap.

She ended up suing them before the EEOC. Apparently, I and other women at my job had been working under hostile conditions but I guess we were not bright enough to notice. I think at the time about half the consultants were wonen.

This is a very very STEM field.

I'm so glad she's gone.

Most of our current new hires grew up (e.g., China, India), so I don't expect any of that crap any time soon.

As a grammie, I try to carefully watch what is going on in the wee ones' school. Granted, they are only in Pre-K and 1st grade but it starts early. I go to as many parent/grandparent activities as I can, and I have to say I am aghast at the sloppiness of the educational environment. Fortunately, we are all on the same page, family-wise - and the kids have been accepted in a charter school that leans heavily STEM. But the greatest counter-balance is the Gospel.

Posted by: zincfinger at March 03, 2016 07:42 PM (nHrKr)

It doesn't even mean "change", really. It just describes a system where the entities procreate, have some sort of heritability and their survival is limited by the the competition for resources (the environment's fitness test). Things could change or could remain static. It all depends on the entities populating the system and the resources available.

Bingo. Eliminate government "student aid" and colleges will have to reduce tuition to what people can actually afford. Then there won't be as much money to pay for "studies" professors.

Decades ago it used to be possible to "work your way through college" by doing such things as waiting tables, delivering pizzas, or summer jobs in construction. Students could earn enough money to pay for tuition and room and board, living a fairly Spartan existence which, get this, gave them time to concentrate on their studies. They also got an introduction to the world of work, and menial work at that. We discussed the benefits of that kind of experience the other day.

What exactly are these little sugary treats going to do after
college? It's not just the military or law enforcement or firefighting
that are macho, ball busting careers. Jobs like finance and medicine are
also full of alpha dog type personalities that will make these poor
little kittens lives miserable.

They'll have a low paying job somewhere like a bank, she'll be the bread winner; he'll get an allowance, and play X box in the basement with his buds while she works overtime. Her low self esteem will guarantee that she doesn't stray; as for him, who knows?

In danger from what? In danger from whom? One guy gives a speech and their whole world is torn apart? I guess that they have lived in such a bubble of affirmation that they have never heard anything but effusive praise. Whatever 'great things' had been done, they must've been pretty fragile if they get completely demolished by one guy speaking for an hour.

The idea of mankind just devolving into lower animals was... a hateful idea.

When it is SMART to have a small family that you can support, and pay for their college... and dumb to have large amounts of kids you can't support...

Then you get small smart families, and dumb big families....

I gopt temporarily banned once because I was using the Opera browser and its "turbo" function (which compresses the pages for phones so people don't run up their data use). It turned out that Opera was running all of the pages through a proxy server of theirs and that proxy's IP was banned here (likely because some idiot was using Opera and causing trouble). Once I turned off the turbo on the Opera browser my pages stopped going through the proxy and everything was back to normal. This is the sort of thing that could be happening with you posting from work. Check the IP you are at and see if it's a general proxy server used by the browser. If so, then that should be easy to fix.

I told Maet about it (I posted about the issue in an ONT) and later pointed out that this problem can be avoided if Pixy uses the "HTTP-FORWARDED" header IP instead of the reported one ... but I don't think anyone cared.

I think students, faculty and the administrations must stop treating thier complaints seriously

Stop ceding power to them. They are frauds

This isn't new. Ayn Rand said precisely that about the Berkeley Free Speech Movement way back in 1964.

330 I think students, faculty and the administrations must stop treating thier complaints seriously

My guess is that from faculty and administration, the response is a mix of

Sympathy and agreement with their "cause"
Fear of lawsuits and protests
Anger of parents and withdrawal of attendees
Drawing attention to their acceptance criteria which is well below alleged standards

333 295 I think that's because culture and society doesn't return to a nice equilibrium. That large group that's been consistently pushed to the extremes, when pushed to it's limit, snaps back even harder in the other direction.

335 "Simple concept Ace.... when you make everything too safe, then you take Darwin and survival of the fittest out of the equation."

Others have mentioned WWII, but it's pretty much the case for all of history that existential threats were just over the horizon.

Hell, even those of us too young for WWII or Vietnam grew up knowing that the Sovs could decide to cook all of us off at any time without warning. How's that for "feeling unsafe"? It's obviously not in the same league as a flaming gay guy saying things you don't agree with, but it was sobering nonetheless.

Maybe the extreme pussification began with the collapse of the Soviet Union? It would be interesting to do a study to compare pre- and post-USSR attitudes.

My dad, who is one of the most brilliant people I have ever known, joined Mensa, and left shortly thereafter. The thought they were a bunch of elitist stuffed shirts, and in his estimation, they weren't even that smart.

342 121 My husband pretty much hires veterans as his IT guys.

No feelz to deal with.

Every one of them is a combat vet, as well. Smart and tough.

I just wrote an editorial in one of the trade magazines I edit pushing just that. A blue collar field having trouble finding technicians and drivers who, after a few years, would be doing quite well indeed. Millennials don't think high paying work with some degree of independence, new experiences, problem solving and challenge are "cool." Hire vets. Some shitheads just like the rest of society but by and large your golden.

Also, just had a laugh with a woman PR person calling me and setting up a client interview I was working on. She was having trouble typing the confirmation email because she had a broken elbow (pre orthopod visit) but needed to get this done. I said she must not be a Millennial since a sniffle usually grinds them to a halt. She had a great laugh and said she's been around plenty of that. I know there are some great Millennial out there, but for a lot of their peers do seem to be more the rule than the exception.

347 131 Are you sure they're faking it?

Yeah they are. These guys aren't pulling some double secret switcheroo
with a higher purpose. They really are the whiny bitches they are
acting like. Because for their entire life they've had helicopter mom
always there to make sure nothing bad ever happens to her baybay

I'll concede that *some* of these people, their voices amplified by the universality of Twitter, really have psychiatric problems, especially those documented ad nauseum (literally) by R Stacey McCain.

But people who are legitimately scared and threatened don't shout down, disrupt, agitate and threaten singular people whom they know very well are not going to "physically" (they like that word) do anything to them. They certainly don't *turn out to a speech* by this person to perform their agitprop.

Those are just run of the mill leftists, doing what leftists have *wished* they could do on campuses for 60 years. They're *empowered* and given the means to silence their enemies by the Specialness Cult, but that's a quite different from being legitimately afraid. They're calling "Help! Threat! Police!" because in 2016 that summons a police officer, if not the President of your University, to eject your foe in disgrace. They're wielding power given to them to crush their enemies, in the same way that they've been doing wherever they can since 1917.

Apparently this dip shit has never been to the O after 2am on a Friday or Saturday.

While I'm at it, the Penn State people that like to chant Shit on Pitt... at least Pitt's football coaching staff was not a bunch of child molesters.

351 These poor fucks are evolving. Not devolving. No real man would have survived behaving like these college cunts. Fifty years ago they would have had good sense beaten into them by 10. One hundred they would have had it beaten in by 5. One thousand they would have been beaten to death or just left to die.

No. This is not devolving. Theses fucks are evolving to a pitiful, womanly, cunt-like, shallow end of the gene pool that can't survive.
