Disagreement does not equal hate or intolerance.
It has become increasingly difficult to engage in conversations nowadays, particularly with the radical population of students on campuses about sensitive issues.
Apparently, free speech is not longer free speech and there is a movement to end what is being referred to as "hate speech". This concept of hate speech is a new phenomena and is the main tool of the radical left to shut down any kind of conversation that is perceived as offensive to them. From what I have been seeing through endless protests and interviews is that there is no longer a platform to have a decent with proponents of for example "Pro-Choice" without expecting some sort of screeching or false accusations about being "sexist".
The list goes on and on regarding these types of topics and the type of backlash you can expect to receive by simply having a different point of view.
There are several issues on both the left and right that I can agree on, but the radical left has become something of a fantasy land in my opinion, where facts do not longer have a place and discussion is out of the picture. It is simply about how they FEEL, and if you dont agree they FEEL offended and start calling you "racist" "homophobic" trans-phobic" "sexist" "white privileged" "cunt" "asshole" "fucktard" etc.......you know the rest of the profanities.
Sadly, these are almost 100 percent of the time false accusations. It is the practice of creating hate and intolerance out of their opponents without it having existed in the first place.
