If things keep going the way they are going, I have no doubt that we will soon see how they handle it. I am confident that this generation of Americans will rise to the occasion, as every previous generation has.
You see, I don't have to pretend to be better than other people because of my skin color, gender or age to feel good about myself. I am myself, I have done things worthy of being proud of, and that is enough for me.

Well.... I'm one of "them". And 51 years ago I was tear-gassed on the Berkeley Campus (Actually just a little way down Telegraph Avenue from the Student Union) during an anti-war demonstration. Tell me again how I would shit my pants, little one?
What do YOU know about "a real old school demo", swizzle?

I very much doubt it. "Generation snowflake" will be on a gap year touring Thailand.

TS? Do tell!
I'm wondering if you might be projecting just a little bit. How many "old school demos" have you endured, and where and why?

Why are you making apologies for anti-liberal behavior?
It's okay, though. Because she doesn't share the viewpoint of the regressive left, her place as a womyn on the progressive stack drops considerably. Independent thought makes her a Nazi.

Anyone else struck by the irony of an anonymous internet poster whining about someone's else's anonymity?

Elfwick appears to be a professional internet troll, easily ignored.

What is called "liberal" in the US is anything but. As we can see from their anti-free speech attitudes.

Do you really expect us to be angels of virtue while fascist, bigoted, religion dominionists take over our government and move us towards WWIII? Fuck that!
Shit no. Further qualifiers not necessary.
Remember all the conservatives who say we should tolerate their hate and violence as well as their flimsy delusions because look at how badly the right wing authoritarians have had it and they're tired of being shafted by politicians and the rich? Because they're that mad, people. "That's what you get," was the message.
I find it a little harder to condone this violence or any other, but I do appreciate conservatives reminding me that rioters are the merely the voices of frustrated, mistreated citizens. There is a bit of a difference now, though. At least these people can say they are rioting for things that are real and do happen all the time, atrocities that are nurtured and exacerbated by right wing hate mongering, unlike Obama taking yer gunz, instituting Sharia Law and Islamic state in the US, death panels, birth certificates, Planned Parenthood selling fetuses, etc. At least they can say they are responding to reality and not to fantasies fed to their animal brains via Fox Newstainment and right wing conspiracy theorists.

BTW,
Milos' snowflake stance on the bathroom issue the very antithesis of libertarianism and personal freedom. The libertarian position would be that the government should not dictate who can and cannot use a particular facility. IOW, while gender labels on the door may provide practical info on the types of facilities inside, there should be zero regulation on who uses what room. Laws dictating separation by biological sex have no more justification than those separating by sexual orientation. Does Milos think public institutions should bar him from the men's room because he isn't "a real man" on account of being gay?

I don't think that the trumpsuckers expect it so much as the wish for it. Their own constituency is so long on obeisance and so short on intellect, they want the same thing from others.
