I think it will be interesting to see how it plays out, thing is i think they believe what they are doing is genuinely right

do you believe anyone should be able to speak at a college/school...for example should someone from the KKK be able to speak? if so at what point do you draw the line and who decides the line?
Yes and people should also be able to peacefully protest against them.

The only time I would draw the line is if someone is calling for explicit violence.
 
Isn’t far left all about being cool on social media?
It's also a nice little earner for many of the activists who graduated with social studies degrees and aren't qualified to do any productive jobs that society actually needs.
 
So, we have people on the right, who are intolerant of minorities like people of colour, the gay community, women controlling their bodies, immigrants and many others, have caused young lefties to be intolerant of their behaviour and rhetoric, causing protests against speakers who preach their particular intolerances, and that has led the right to be intolerant of the students protesting and the left in general?

No doubt someone on the left will be intolerant of the intolerance of the right about the student's intolerance of the intolerance of the right wing speakers.

And the right, well they won't tolerate that kind of behaviour...
The right aren't intolerant of minorities.

They believe people should be treated as individuals and are responsible for their own lives. "There's no such thing as society"

The left believe in groups and groups are responsible for people's lives.

So if we apply this to race and poverty. E.g. a black person.

Someone on the right thinks a black person is responsible for themselves and can't expect other people to help them, if they do then that's charity. They believe this is the best way for that person to improve their own standing because ultimately if forced people have more to gain and lose by their actions. Some may even call it a version of tough love. It's a masculine view.

The left don't see the individual but the group and the problems of an individual in the group is therefore because of the problems between other groups. The groups who are generally more well off are that way because historically they oppressed other groups. So therefore it's the responsibility of the group as a whole to draw attention to this and for the oppressor group to fix their behavior. This is why a rejection of this is seen as racist because it's implying that you don't want the status quo to change. Collectivism and seeing things through the prisms of groups is more a feminine way of viewing

Men tend to settle their problems directly, individual against individual.

Women or weaker men who aren't physically as strong tend to collect allies first.

The far left has been collecting lots of allies. Lol

I’ve got a degree in social studies mate and I’ve studied it intensely for over 5 years under the tutelage of highly respected academics from both the left and right of the political spectrum and I can safely say you are completely embarrassing yourself here. Either that or you’re trolling in which case soz, carry on
 
Course not,
The main issue the right have with minorities is they mostly vote for left wing politicians.

Muslims are slightly different because Islam can also be a political ideology so there's that too and it's impossible to know if when push comes to the shove will those Muslims stand up for Western laws or go along with Muslim leaders pushing Islamic laws.

Racists, sexists and anti-semites fall on both sides of the political spectrum. They left has just done a very good job painting right wing views and therefore people on the right as racists.

They have been able to do this because people can understand group think easier and inaction as therefore racist. It's a more difficult argument to make for the right.

Everyone loves their mommy and thinks their dad is a too hard on them. It's only as you get older you learn life isn't that simple. People on the left in a way havent grown up.

Oh dear mate. You’ve just taken a pop at the majority of the population of Liverpool. Catch you later

Degree in social studies. Why doesn't that surprise me.

Priests study the Bible for decades under respected tutors too. Doesn't stop it from being a load of garbage.

I think things are changing.

Plus people vote for lots of reasons. I doubt too many people on the left vote out of political ideology and they're the people I am referring too.

This sentence is completely contradictory, being 'on the left' means you do have an ideology
