Is this a newspaper "letter to the editor" from 1970, or something you just wrote?
Sounds like something Archie Bunker would have said.

@trollslayer This is an illiberal movement as it seeks to drown out anyone else’s ability to not participate. It’s Hysterical and absurd.

@Bumbles true. But how is that different than the protests in the 1960s or 1970s?

@trollslayer The Universities weren’t run in such a way that made them incapable of exercising authority. Columbia being taken over is not something I look back on with nostalgia, either.
The take it all down element is a temper tantrum, The schools have no influence on policy. It’s a charade.

@Bumbles idk, they didnt seem capable back then, either. They called national guard to help out, and kids got shot.

@trollslayer You’re referring to Kent Statte, but that is one tragic example where the National Guard, not the school, was at fault.
The current movement is a massive freak out about stock portfolios.

@Bumbles and rightfully so. One way to end the protests would be to validate that their concerns are real

@trollslayer Validate feelings? Exactly my point.
This is just melodrama. Look at this pic. She’s this upset aabout a stock position in a large cap international index fund? Seriously? They are told to leave then freak out when a rule is being enforced. It’s so sophomoric.
