sociology doesn't teach anything about white males being evil. god knows where you pulled that stereotype from. you sound like an old dude at a country club going on about 'cultural marxism' poisoning the youth. go mewl with dilbert some more about the endangered Great White Male.
also how were the nazis confused? almost every bit of historical analysis of nationalist socialism has it as a pretty cut-and-dry thing.
No? Because I see college students cracking down on each other for expressing unpopular opinions. I see people defining themselves based on their sexuality, their race, and whatever else they can in order to make them both unique and a victim. I see calls for safe spaces and militancy towards cis white males.
But hey, I'm making it all up, right? The world isn't splintering into ever smaller groups of like minded individuals jamming their fingers in their ears in order to avoid reality.
why does it offend you that a minority of people decide to extol their tumblr-level social identity politics in public? and how exactly is that 'sociology' as taught on college campuses across the nation, tout court? most of classical sociology is about people like comte, weber, simmel, veblen, marcuse etc. this whole perception of it being a bunch of pampered kids whining about being 'triggered' is like something you'd read on an angry conservative blog.
Well, largely because I've always believed strongly in this:
"The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error." -Mill
