Over half of college students favor speech restrictions.

Not surprising as most of them are incapable of uttering a coherent thought.

C'mon. Let's just admit it. All hope is lost. We few 300 are matched by Xerxes. There is an end in our future. Glorious yet futile.I don't think there will be another age that harkens back to conscientious objection to over rule.

Bad analogy. How can you mistake a sheep for Xerxes ?

Xerxes is not the sheep, he's just the herder. He's got his professors, the Immortals, to poke and prod along the sheepish young college students.

A good read



The Coddling of the American Mind

In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don’t like. Here’s why that’s disastrous for education—and mental health.

On a tangent that is one of the reasons I have been away for a couple of months. IRL I accepted a position with one of the Texas independece organizations. I was working on a plan to restore some measure of liberty for those who want it as an immediat goal in order to defend ourselves from the horde represented in this thread. I figured nobody was going to read a 100 page operation plan, so I turned it into a novel which was released yesterday.

It is good to be back.

Good to see you.

Paperback should be out any day now. Think of it as 200 pages of civil disobedience, and 50 pages of disobedience that is uncivil in an insurgency mode how to. All wrapped in what Brits would call a "ripping yarn".

I have no idea of your point. Please elucidate.

I love the sample, but I'm afraid that it will only appeal to people like us. The explanation of communism in the beginning had my attention, but it won't catch everyone's as the sheeple will most likely get bored and close the book. I hope I'm wrong, of course. I definitely will buy it at some point, when I have the money.

I simply do not like the defeatist attitude. Portraying as Xerxes the opponent who does not know their head from their ass is a bit too much for me.

That's the problem with the "liberty". You can not afford a $9.99 purchase from Amazon while trying to convince people at the same time to join the liberty movement. Anybody plugged into the matrix will laugh in your face. Maybe you should skip lunch tomorrow?

I'm not going to put words in phill's mouth, but I'm pretty sure he was not likening 150,000 battle hardened Persians to our opposition.

Only pointing out the numerical difference between those who desire liberty and the rest of the moiling mob.

Is it me or are headed to the next dark ages where free speech will be frowned and even punishable with jail or death? Anyone notice and freedom of speech has been under attack by all these groups? We have feminists, pussies and manginas wanting to censor sexist, mysogynistic and portrayal of sexy pretty fit ladies. We have muslims saying you cant draw muhammed or risk getting hurt. We have fat people wanting to ban shit that make them feel bad and push for a new standard of beauty because of their fat asses.

If it didn't appeal to people like us, I would have a serious problem. One of the points from the first chapter is that the "sheeple" are not going to be appealed to and awoken. Therefore, work on a plan that takes that into account.

I have derailed this thread enough - how about discussion of the book over in the book section?
