College Student Protests (regardless of subject)

[DGS49]

College Is Not an Expensive Scam, but Aimless Higher Education Is

A critique of aimless higher education and a call to reclaim college for genuine learning and character development.

Starting with the Vietnam War, this country has endured decades of college student protests, with an adoring Media seeming to support every "cause," without consideration of its rational or factual underpinnings. I saw this bit of wisdom in the article, which I think summarizes the best overall view of the phenomenon, and couldn't help sharing it:

"Students are immersed in popular causes before they have mastered the history, economics or moral reasoning needed to judge those causes."

Jesus, ain't that the truth?

And regarding today's ICE protests, where are the teachers and professors pointing out that these protests are merely seeking to impede the Federal government from enforcing long-standing laws that President Trump was elected to enforce? I don't see them anywhere.

Funny, I think if anyone has failed to master history, it's the supporters of Trump.

They can start with "Germany, 1933" to see why what Trump is doing is a terrible idea.

The thing was, those radical College students in the 1960's were RIGHT. Vietnam was a terrible idea. I don't think anyone sane today argues that the Vietnam War was a good plan.

TRANSLATION: "german socialists brought hitler on themselves , exactly what todays American socialists believe they have done"

"They can start with "Germany, 1933" to see why what Trump is doing is a terrible idea."

but all would be more educated on the matter if they didn't start at "1933" and instead educated themselves on what led to hitler, european socialists continuously raiding the german economy in the name of the poor while setting jews and the rest of the population against one another as is being done today in America with minorities and "parts" of white America pitted against one another...the right sees trump as the one who can expose the other part of white America that is always outside the fray until the dust settles and then rush in to defend the folks who the view as nothing more than shields like the jews were in germany...I don't like trump, but I love what he is doing to white liberals

they were tools

Vietnam was a terrible idea.

in that it led to the rise of socialism in America

I don't think anyone sane today argues that the Vietnam War was a good plan.

not a good "plan"? perhaps,. but it was a leftwing created boondoggle that mothballed our military for over a decade which of course was the goal all along...see what the socialists did in/to germany after WWI, then hitler coming to power will have the proper context.

I normally have this guy on ignore because he's a moron... but let's have some fun.

I think you fail to understand what led to Hitler. First, no one liked the Jews. The right wing thought they were too communist, the left wing thought they were too socialist, and no one thought they were really German. Their part in the 1918 revolution just made people angrier.

So you are happy Trump is screwing up the country because it makes liberals upset? What a truly sad life you must lead.

Um, no, not even close.

Our military was sidelined because no one wanted another war. They saw the foolishness of that one.

TRANSLATION: "I pretend not to read his posts but he flushed me out again"...who are you pretending to talk to JoeBob?

but let's have some fun.

because having fun is why ya put posters on ignore, is that how it works JoeBob?

I think you fail to understand what led to Hitler.

I already explained that to you

First, no one liked the Jews.

certainly no one you know

The right wing thought they were too communist,

that was how the communists/socialist hid themselves, like they do today with American minorities

the left wing thought they were too socialist, and no one thought they were really German. Their part in the 1918 revolution just made people angrier.

they were the perfect scapegoats for the left to play off against the rest of the population as minorities are today for Americas left and it is having the same results.

So you are happy Trump is screwing up the country because it makes liberals upset?

The more accurate and honest assessment is that his most redeeming quality is he is screwing up white liberals and with no minority to hide behind they pretend the country is the one suffering...one can easily check this for accuracy to see if the whole country is upset or just the liberals

What a truly sad life you must lead.

I feel shame

Um, no, not even close.

TRANSLATION: "DIRECT HIT"

Our military was sidelined because no one wanted another war. They saw the foolishness of that one.

TRANSLATION: "We needed to give the communists a breather so as to regain their footing in the world, if it hadn't been for Reagan you wouldn't be talking down to me right now"

You were right about one thing JoeBob...that was fun
