We've become a society where offense is intolerable. Doesn't matter what your religious, political or social values are. Everyone demands total immunity to offense.
What's bizarre is that we also demand the ability to say or do anything we want without consequences. Which is some perverted distortion of the first amendment.
Combine the two, and it is the recipe that guarantees no honest candid conversations are possible.
It's not so much conservatives as it's people from older generations who know from experience that going through life in safe bubbles isn't an effective way to go through life and to learn how to work through and grow from difficult situations.
That's how people developed through life from the beginning of men and women until this latest generation... suddenly youth know best?
@zane333 So you're telling me that it's older generations who don't like "going through life in safe bubbles" that got a movie pulled because it violated their safe bubble?
So the older generations are whiny easily-offended little brats who can't take a satirical movie because it hurts their feelings?
@zane333 It goes far, far back before the latest generation. My generation does it too, and so did my parents, and my grandparents. People older than my dad are protesting violent video games because "they're offensive and wrong." Grown ass people got a high schooler expelled for saying she thinks Israel is wrong to commit an illegal occupation. A forty nine year old man punched Ben Jacobs for asking him a tough question. Bullshit it's only the youth who want censorship.
For Christ sake, yesterday an adult man physically assaulted a thirteen year old boy for not taking his hat off during the National Anthem. He concussed him and put him in the fucking hospital.
"The Hunt"? sounds like trump's plan, uber-rich in their fortresses - sorry, gated communities - occasionally sallying forth to cull the peasantry, for the wholly admirable reason that it reduces the risk of malnourishment - and malnourished peasants aint no good at shouting lock her up and shooting up immigrants.
So build that wall! Send them home! Then what? you got no one to blame for the shit you're in but...
