Safe spaces, trigger warnings - I reckon grown-ups have had enough of little fascists turning universities into laughing -stocks


I haven't written much on this blog about the pathetic, precious, whining little fascist wusses currently wasting oxygen in many American and British universities. I would have written about them at greater length, but I suspect readers would require endless trigger warnings that their blood pressure was about to be dangerously elevated, and, besides, I can't be sure that all of you have readily available safe spaces to retreat to in case you find it all too upsetting. If you need some background information, you can find it here - but *TRIGGER WARNING* you will find it very, very annoying.

The American animated series South Park has been attacking left-wing targets with complete abandon of late. Here, from a recent episode, is their musical take on the concept of safe spaces (the fat bearded bloke, by the way, is Steven Segal):


When I encountered hordes of idiotic, self-important, intolerant, left-wing man-children at university 40 years ago I assumed it was a passing phase and that everything would settle down and get back to normal and that clever young people who knew sod all about life would eventually learn not to read racism and prejudice of all kinds into everything anybody older than them said or did, and that they'd stop sending money to vile terrorist organisations and demanding the abolition of exams and a veto over what they were taught and who taught them and an immediate end to the war in Vietnam and ... whatever. 

But it seems that the madness of the late '60s and early '70s never really went away, and that it has now developed into a full-blown generational case of mass hysteria. Of course, if the limp-wristed ladyboys who run our academies of higher learning and the cultural Marxist lecturers who peddle babyish fantasies to impressionable undergraduates actually manned up and started throwing the little fuckers out rather than pandering to their charges' po-faced, politically correct, deeply conformist priggery, things would rapidly improve. But don't hold your breath. Meanwhile, let's just laugh at the little sillies in an effort to convince them that there's no such thing as a "safe space" for true adults.
