"You're opinions offend me, and that's your fault."
This is a loving brainlet argument.
did you even read my post matthew? i said they're all extremely stupid, it's just that the far right ones tend to cause a bigger issue/response because the people they're trying to irritate are COMPLETELY unable to ignore people. you're not in college matthew, nor were you in college immidately after the 2016 election, the single greatest date of gathering of complete and utter political handicapation on a college campus
of all time. the last anti Annoying Orange protest we had at OU was made up of complete handicaps and everyone just laughed at them.

see my above post. it needed to happen but not explicitly because of berkley.
to add some master handicap free context here along with my opinions and experience in college:
I go to a school(the university of oklahoma) where we've had some pretty major public issues in the last 4 years, namely the SAE incident(forgetin handicaps). we had a situation where two white girls(one of which was in a sorority) did blackface on snapchat and there was obvious outrage, and honestly for very good reason. A number of people called for the new president to be fired because "he didn't act swiftly enough" and called him a tribal POS and essentially said that the girls should be denied due process.
Last school year, a girl filed false rape charges against our superstar running back Rodney Anderson, and many people were calling for his head immediately and that he was immediately guilty. I have a number of friends on the team who said from the beginning it was bullstuff. It was found to be completely false and she only filed the charges because she wouldn't date him.
These are just the two most public/mainstream things i've gotten to witness in my time in college and it's what's made me so anti outrage/identity politics. the people that preach that stuff are the literal scum of the earth, and it's being taught in public universitys. It's a major problem.
Hell, my international finance theory professor was so bent on anti Annoying Orange rhetoric that he was teaching incorrect information and kicked people out of class for calling him out for it. It got so bad that in our 45 person class 32 people sent a complaint to the department chair. nothing happened lol
I'm in a(by college standards) very conservative major in energy management, and yet i've seen how through gen ed classes(like the sociology class that I took freshman year) that many public universities and their professors actually do promote the sort of identity(or in my words, division) politics and fester division by teaching social grouping(people being put into groups based on race, gender, loveual preference, social class, exct) as academic fact. It's what the radical(non blue dog) wing of the democratic party's current foundation is. It's really pretty ironic, as this sort of mentality only causes more division and hate, instead of finding ways that we can be brought together in spite of our differences. it's sad really. hopefully the peaceful promotion of opposing ideals in an academic setting will lead to more INTELECTUAL DIVERSITY on college campuses, something that based on my experiences, we desperately need.
