Well it's not necessarily untrue. In Most cases, despotic regimes aren't held up by those most loyal but by those who stay silent and in their place. historical analysis will show that silence (or complacency) is largely what keeps the status quo functioning. So the expression 'silence is violence' is, from a historical perspective, very sound. I mean put the saying in the context of appeasement during WW2 and I think you would agree that if the Allies tried to stop nazi expansion (which, according to international law was illegal and therefore intervention was 100% justified) in its early days instead of pursuing an appeasement policy, most of the nazi atrocities (ie: holocaust/slaughter of slavic peoples/etc..) would have never happened, no? When you put it in that context, it seems that silence really can be a factor in permitting (by turning a blind eye) atrocities.

I went to university and had a degree in sociology and psychology. At the time, my professors said on day one "we're not going to teach you all these politically correct garbage. We're doing the real deal". It was great. Feminism was barely discussed. I got top grade and was admitted into a PhD program. However, I took a one year break. When I came back, all those professors fucked off to other universities in Europe and all the loonies took over the campus. Not a single one of my colleagues knew about statistics or the scientific method and yet called themselves "social scientists". There was a lot of ridiculous indoctrination and brainwashing. I couldn't stand it and I left after one semester of constant depression and bullshit. I'm becoming an accountant in a year's time. It's great. Sociology is a very useless degree to have job wise but at least I wish my old professors would teach the things I was taught.

To be told that my aunt sister conquered the United States and I have privilege because of my whiteness is absolutely insane to me. When I start to question these individuals, It seem like they have never had the experience of living in any other society that's not predominantly white. They are basing their opinion of me on the color of my skin and not who I am or even considering my culture like where I come from. That is true racism. And the notion that no other race could be racist is absolutely crazy in my opinion. It's so easy for people to cast their stones at people. it seems like these people are being brainwashed to believe things or have a perspective that's not realistic.

I read some article about speach codes at Universities in the U.S. once and it listed ignoring certain groups in converstaions as a violation. Not the classroom mind you. Like anywhere on campus.

As a gay man, the thing I really despise about all this, especially the trans propaganda, is that it all attempts to invalid who I am. As a gay man, if I were to take their rhetoric to its logical conclusion, I'd have to come away from it believing that I'm not really attracted to men, but to a social construct. In point of fact, I'm attracted to men, and the more effeminate a man is, the less attractive they are to me. I'm attracted to men. Not necessarily big burly men, but guys who act like guys. I want a guy who's into video games, cars, and other things associated with masculinity. I've tried more 'butch acting' straight women, and it's just not the same, because they're not men... They have the wrong equipment in their toolbox.
