No, it's more like referring to that militia who took over a federal building as "Right". Associating half of the political spectrum with the most extreme examples of the other spectrum is a time honored tradition in this country.
Two words colliding...The old leftist guard like Weinstein who were genuinely concern about improving the life of their fellow countrymen, believing in the eternal class struggle and the new idiocratic left "GIB ME DAT" who believe in ethnic warfare.
Today's liberals become tomorrow's conservatives. The goal posts for what is "conservative" will just keep moving. Last generation of liberals fought for black rights, then they got it and were happy and got older and became today's conservatives. This generation fights for gay rights and weed. They'll get both soon and be happy and get older and become tomorrow's conservatives. The generation coming up now needed a struggle and they've latched onto this race and gender bullshit as their issues and have begun to alienate their former leftist allies. Then the cycle continues forever.
I think he takes a linguistic approach to how shaky the terms are. I recall some historians explaining it similarly.
It goes sort of like this: when you're progressive you want change, once you get the change you do not alter it and thus you've lost progressive status and conserve these changes. Ie. you cannot be progressive for an infinite amount of time so to speak. When you're conservative you conserve the 'old' as in traditions or the current, but if changes inevitably occur you will not conserve those and turn progressive or regressive/reactionary, if miraculously no changes occur the word essentially loses all meaning, and so do the others. Reactionary is kind of associated with conservative but regardless still suffers this problem on it's own. If you're reactionary and want to return to the status quo ante ie. the situation before this one you stop being reactionary as soon as you reach that, or as soon as instead of going back to the previous situation you progress to a next one because you don't want to return to the previous when that happens.
Perhaps there’s a case to be made that a white-free day could be a useful way to highlight the lack of racial diversity, particularly at a proudly progressive school like Evergreen.
When blacks need to be 50% of everything even though they're 12% of the population.
At this point, when blacks talk about diversity, they really only mean more black people. Modern young black civil rights activists are the "shut the door behind us" types who want to feel like their race is involved in everything but don't actually want to do the work to get there legitimately.
When blacks need to be 50% of everything even though they're 12% of the population.
As of the census of 2010... The racial makeup of [Olympia, WA] was 83.7% White, 2.0% African American, 1.1% Native American, 6.0% Asian, 0.4% Pacific Islander, 1.8% from other races, and 5.0% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 6.3% of the population.
not sure if you're joking but this really is why college is getting more expensive. The schools are having to pay more to take care of the students in college these days. This never used to be a thing until fairly recently, and positions are like are a huge part of it. College is literally becoming a day care for students
I got a computer science degree and when I ask my career counselor what I should be doing to find jobs, he just gives me a blank look. "You should be looking online" he says. No shit Sherlock. He shows me a job opening. "Oh I don't qualify for that. I don't have the experience." Dealt with him for a decade and he never seemed to remember who I was. When I was broken and penniless I sent an e mail to my old student adviser. He told me to take a class on web development. When I told him I had no money to pay for it he just looked at me like I was stupid. So I started sending e mails to everyone at the university and they locked me up for 10 days and banned me from campus.
Why do people assume these students give a shit about liberalism? I bet more than half of them would be as offended at being called liberals as a southern christian baptist.

Referring to them as “Left” is like referring to Trump policies as “bright future”.
It’s one autist making light of another.

He looked pretty tame in the debates and campaign leading up to his dropping out, but that could be because Trump made him look like a wuss.

Yeah, let's celebrate racial diversity by racial segregation. This makes sense to some people apparently.
As if the Evergreen campus was swarmed by people in MAGA caps.

n/a OccasionallyClueless 2017-06-02
Go to school
Pick a worthless major like gender studies or whatever
Become unemployable
Become bitter that you did not end up with your dream job of saving the world from imagined ills
Grovel to another school to get a job teaching the same major
Do this for years, possibly decades
Petition the school to create these new departments since it will attract more rich retards
School says "lol okay, this way we can 'justifiably' bump tuition for everyone else too"
And here we are.

Let's be honest here:
Weinstein' steal crime was not being With Her.
Everything else is just pretense.
