Haidt-Speak - Coddling, Cry-Bullies, & Ending The Micro-aggression Culture
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
The deplorable state of America’s college campuses, overrun by intolerant, censorship happy cry bullies, has been a key topic of discussion here as of late.
The following video is an excellent lecture on the topic by Jonathan Haidt, Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University’s Stern School of Business.
Take the 30 minutes in between mouthfuls of turkey and share with your families.

Cuddling is best come to think of it.
Obama: "Reggie, where the fuck are you?"
To the British ZH readers -
I just watched QuestionTime from last week. You lot are in serious trouble, when you have rounds of applause for some fat lady to take offence that the media calls the Islamic State the Islamic State because it lumps Muzzies in with the Islamic State.
You then have essentially every guest commentator go out of their way to say that not all Muzzies are terrorists.
The world has completly lost its mind. I have no idea what is going on in the Anglo Saxon world, but it is completely imploding in a plume of self-loathing and political correctness.
Microaggression? I''m way more sensitive than that. I'm susceptable to femtoaggression.
Construction was always the outlet for escaping the PC bull shit culture. Then the Fed fucked up that industry. Then Robert Reich gave his don’t hire white men order. Then the DOT ordered the purge of all republican looking white men from construction companies that got in government contracts.
College was always an intolerant shit hole for lazy smart asses who never wanted to work. Difference is students are intolerant assholes now and don’t have two parents.
My advice. Nothing changed till the Federal Reserve is burned to the ground.
Fuck the Fed.
Stop whining.
Best thing I saw this week was a discussion on BBC One on Sunday, the topic being, "Should we stop celebrating the British Empire?" My response to that was, "If you can't celebrate the British Empire, then you have nothing else to celebrate ... might as well pack it in." That hastag response was of course not picked up by the moderators.
You mean the #WelfareQueen one or the #BloodCotton one?
Bonus hashtag for all my Arab friends, #Jasyr ;-)
o/t but wanted to share this @ the zh lounge somewhere - just looked @ ebay and they are selling 1 oz.Valcambi Suisse Gold bars for $1,086. Delivered.
Something is going down, folks ... that's below paper spot prices....maybe those saying it could go down to the 800s are right...

Your use of the prefix femto- is a yoctoagression for me.
I bow to your superior victimhood.
They aren't though.
It's not the "Anglo Saxon world" that is imploding but the regnant elites in academia, the media, politics and civil service.
Said elites have become hostile towards the population they rule, which is a complex issue.
Btw, QT is renowned for "stacking the deck" in terms of its audience. Generally, only left-leaning audience members
are chosen and the BBC itself is a bastion of PC, multicultural liberalism, run by white liberals top-to-bottom (excluding
all the tech guys, obviously).
This from Vagina Dominator at Chateau Heartiste may help clear up this "complex issue" for the Hedge:
“the hatred of Western culture” = multiculturalism
Ah, this is the key to the whole scheme, which has developed over some time.
Subsequent to their expulsion from England by Edward 1 in 1290, the bankers decided to remove the old royal families of Europe from power. To do this, two issues were central, Succession and Legitimacy.
The problems of succession were solved by imposing democracy, where the politicians could be easily paid off agents of the bankers or those with interests in common with the bankers while establishing a permanent bureaucracy that would answer to the bankers behind the democratic facade. See “democratic” under Goldman Sachs Europe for how that has developed.
The first target was England. The Dutch bankers paid for the English civil war to establish a parliament. It was a good result for them except that Cromwell the Dictator came with succession problems. So he was removed and replaced with Charles and James, the Stuart brothers, who solved both the succession and legitimacy problems. Unfortunately, during their stay in France, they had been infected with the virus of Divine Right, and they also wouldn’t pay their private debts to the bankers.
So the Stuarts were murdered and were replaced with William from Holland and Mary (for legitimacy), who then in gratitude established the National Debt (so that borrowings were became an inescapable and eternal national rather than a private royal obligation) and the Bank of England (1694). Thereafter, with complete control of the national money (a boon for the Jews unmatched until the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913) , the bankers married into the British nobility so that today it is effectively a Jewish nobility. Issues of succession and legitimacy resolved.
This same process is now in operation in the United States, as exemplified by the intermarriage of the Clintons and Trumps with Jewish money.
Moving on to take over rulership from the European royal families, fully-compromised parliamentary bureaucratic terrors were also established in France, via the Revolution, with the legitimate or traditional nobility – standard bears of French cultural memory – widely murdered. World War 1 served to remove the House of Hohenzollern in Germany, the Hapsburgs of Austro-Hungaria, the Romanovs of Russia and some minor royalties as well. (The Japanese royals would be dealt with later and in their own way)
The Romanovs – genuine and much loved symbols of cultural continuity – were exterminated by the new bureaucratic terror in Russia, traditional Christian culture was brutalized with sword and flame by the Jew Bela Kun in Hungary and in Germany perversion became the official policy of Weimar.
Through all of this, however, the bankers continued to be faced with problems of legitimacy, as evidenced by the rise in each post-revolutionary period of a “great man” who would successfully unify each country around its unique and deeply felt cultural traditions.
The bankers could not totally control these individuals because their appeal was to a commonly felt national greatness: Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin. We might even mention De Gaulle, and today perhaps Putin or Orban.
Note that this is not just a racial issue. After all, Napoleon was Corsican, Hitler Austrian, and Stalin Georgian. But in each case, these men were legitimate in the eyes of the people because they promised cultural continuity.
So the bankers saw, and some time ago, that to get the complete control they desire, it would be essential to not just capture the apparatus of government, but also to destroy any potential rallying points of the subject culture (issues of legitimacy).
Enter multiculturalism. Import very different people who know nothing of your society’s culture or history, or can’t understand it and or simply don’t care about it. Importing the most stupid of the world is a good approach to destroying cultural unity and cultural memory.
And who better as culture destroyers than Muslims, who have a long track record of taking a scorched earth approach to other cultures.
And so here we are.
tldr: thanks Jews!
Perversion becomes the dominant culture when there are 1.05 or more women for every man. I think the effect is even noted in the Bible.College campuses where the ratios are sometimes as great as 1.5 to 1 F/M are especially nuts.
Note: we have DNA, elections, and banks to determine legitimacy.
with the wookie
Stop whining.
D'ya hear about the guy who went out with this J-A Princess with a yeast infection?
All he got was Whine & Cheese.
@ Kirk2NCC1701:
Do you know what J-A Princesses do, after they're done playing with their assholes?
(They send them to work).
How can you tell when a J-A Princess is on her period?
(She's only wearing 1 sock).
And now, for the greatest Black joke, EVER:
A truck driver is hauling a load of 3,000 bowling balls to Alabama to get finger holes drilled in them. He's on a backroad in the heart of Appalachia, when he sees these 2 little black kids, pushing a bike with a flat tire. They're miles from the nearest town, so the truck driver stops and says: "I don't have any room up here, but if you boys want to hop in back, I can give you a lift into town".
So they get in back, with the bowling balls.
The truck driver's driving along, and speeds past the Sherriff, and 1 of his deputies. They pull him over, and the Sherriff goes up to the driver: "License, Registration, Insurance?"...the trucker hands his paperwork to the Sherriff, who looks at it, and hands it back. Then, he says to the trucker, "Do you mind if I have a look in back"? The trucker says sure, go 'head.
The Sherriff opens up the trailer, and sees the 3,000 bowling balls, and the two little black kids with the bike...he slams the doors shut, pulls out his gun, goes storming back to the driver, and says: "Son, I don't give a damn how fast you go, or what route you take...you get outta my county, and you get out NOW!"
The truck driver is thoroughly confused, but says okay, hops in his cab and takes off.
The Sherriff goes back to the patrol car, and the deputy looks at him and says: "I don't get it, Sir...you had a really good ticket there; why'd you let him go?"
The Sherriff looks at him and says: "Son, you didn't see what was in the back of that truck...3,000 Black eggs...2 of them hatched, and they already stoles a bike".
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
how much longer can we take this shit?
Stop whining.
I don't think you want that. Because when we stop "whining", we start doing. And when we start doing, laws aren't written, movements aren't made, riots don't break out, tears aren't shed. We stop the spinning cogs of the world and we rebuild it without any of your help.
Join us, or prepare to go to war with us.
lets go to war.
You'll need guns for that. And a loan to buy the guns.
obtain loan for guns with knife. after purchase gun, renegotiate loan :)
You'll need guns for that. And a loan to buy the guns.
The worst part about society now is people can be complete disrespectful fucktards and you can't do anything about it. If someone is being an asshole and you bring it up and they don't give a fuck then you should be able to beat the shit out of them or even kill them rather than have to be annoyed and have it build up internally. I'm surprised there aren't more mass shootings.
There is simply nothing to dissuade humans from being selfish assholes today. If there was then I think everything would be much better.
Bang you're dead.
That's the whole point of the PC argument. To stop people from being complete dickheads you'd like to murder but can't. Welcome.
To borrow a quote, correctness is to political correctness what a chair is to an electric chair.
In short: GET FUCKED. We'll tell the truth as much as we want, your fee fees be damned.
I think fighting should be legalized. You should have to stand behind what you say as a man instead of enabling the biggest pussies in the world to an opinion they really can't defend out loud. I can't take you or your caps lock seriously. The only truth is what you can tell to my face because that's the only way I'll believe that you believe what you're saying.
I'm not sure what truth has to do with physical skill or strength but I do believe Obama needs his ass kicked for lying to the nation on numerous subjects & occasions.
Wait...someones at the door...
loregnum: people can be complete disrespectful
Why do you listen to stupid people? Why do you care? Why do you let it get to you?
Then you go on: kill them rather be annoyed and have it build up internally. I'm surprised there aren't more mass shootings.
Gee guess what, you sound no better than the people you criticized.
The sh!t humanity is about to face, these pale in comparison.
Listen to Mr.MrTown3 above
Your Quote: "The worst part about society now is people can be complete disrespectful fucktards and you can't do anything about it."
If this is the case and occasionally your being repulsed, at least your being exposed to ideas you may not have otherwise been exposed to and most importantly of all you know you are FREE... The alternative is shutting everyone up??? Thats not freedom... We should try to educate people about how everyone has their right to their own ideas and we all need to have respect for that... DUH!!!! WTF!!! It makes us stronger... Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but names can never hurt me... If you dont let it hurt you it wont... If you give someone the power to make you angry... they own you. If you dont let these things effect you, you are so much stronger for it and they wont effect you? People need to stand up for their rights and their beliefs and thats OK. It makes us all stronger as a result.
It seems like everyone is just an intolerant, spoiled, sissy, moron... I have no doubt most these days are just plain fucking ignorant.
I don't think you out have the right to say whatever you want to me and if you do I'll crack your fucking jaw so where does that leave us?
Yup everyone's fucking ignorant for sure! Hey little fucktard you getting angry?
Lol @ " fucktard"...that's some white shit I'm assuming
You know its funny I could give a shit what color you are,,, but your assuming Im white? Maybe little racist? Im detecting a hint? Not sure?
A lot racist.
Its good that you admit it! I like honest people. You can express yourself that way because you are free! Be a racist I don’t care!... Your free to be whatever the fuck you want! I would consider racist a bit of a waste of time, but hey who the fuck am I... Be free!
How bout a toke of my multi barrier breaking peace pipe? Tear down those walls! Peace!
Im shocked so many people side with you.... This is America? WTF? What a bunch of fucktards we are brewing? Houston we have a problem... I cant beleive it. Have no doubt the end is near.
Good.
NOT GOOD!
Change is good.
Your a fucking idiot if you want that type of change?
You're a fucking idiot to think people are going sit passively by while you disrespect them.
It isnt about that, I dont care who you are, I have an opinion just like you? What dont people get about that? You have the right to threaten, but I cant say anything? WTF??? IS UP? Its all about YOU!
Go test your theory out in real life and get back to me. I guarantee you get punched in the mouth.
Im sure that will solve everything... There is always someone bigger. Ive been able to back my mouth up. Why do we need laws when people like you could just kick everyone with a big mouth's ass? We could still be free too?
If I evaluate people on an individual basis and I like some and I dont like others does that make me a racist?
I don't walk on eggshells over microaggressions.
And I don't give a shit about my macroaggressions.
Here's one.
I don't give a shit about you or your feelings and you'd best get your shit together or I'm firing your ass right the fuck now.
The world is getting thougher and harder nowadays. The love for each individual is cooling.
The problem is that people do not need one and other anymore. Everybody is looking to the state holding there hands up instead of being part of a strong community in which people help each other.
The world is degrading rapidly and it is up to us, the people to change it. If not the government will be the only one to benefit with the "divide and qonquer" policy.
We need people who can think and create on their own... We need people like that now more than ever, but instead we create drones.... WTF? We need "Free" thinkers... Thats what we are suposed to stand for?? REMEMBER? LAND OF THE FREE HOME OF THE BRAVE. It cant be GOOD. Holy shit??? What is going on? This is like a really bad dream, but folks its real..
Stop crying.
Damn, take a day off and ZH turns into a chat site.
Worse, with MrTown's bullshit, it's turned into Huffington Post.
TYLER!! Put the bouncers on alert.
You don't like my first amendment? Fine, taste some of my second amendment right up your ass!

Come and watch us protest.
Just don't come and report about it.
Come and listen to us.
Just don't talk to us.
Listen to our list of perceived slights.
Just don't ask us to prove it.
We demand safe spaces and redress.
Just don't ask us why.
We're individuals and wanting be treated as such.
But we don't care about anyone else's individuality.
Please just leave us alone...
Our Answer.
Don't worry, we will leave you alone and on your own.
No jobs for you.
No homes for you.
No respect.
Get your own space.
We're done listening, caring or worrying.
Good luck, you're going to need it.
But you probably want someone to give that to you too...
In most countries, bullying is considered an unacceptable weakness and contemptible bad-mannered adolescent behavior, and is therefore banned.
In the USA, bullying has been raised to the status of a culture.
Onwards to self-destruction, USA!
Bullying is your God given right until somebody shoots you in the face for it.
Telling someone what you really think .vs shooting them are two very different things.. If your so insecure you cant handle some criticism that you have to go shot someone, I would advise a life skills class immediately or at the very least some anger management for your own well being.. Isnt the latter a form of bullying? I would say shooting someone maybe considered bullying? In a way?
How much does your opinion on what the reaction to free speech should be when you're dead? Google Columbine. You're better off leaving people alone and being polite before somebody has a bad day and puts a hole in your head.
Hey douche bag.. if you take a shot at me you better make it count because I used to shoot in competition and I conceal carry... Ill make mine count. Im no city dweller. You give your people a bad name.
Micro-aggressions stroke my ego. The more personal the better. Hey inter-web pussies... S'all you got?

Without first reading the article; I must-first commend, Mr.Krieger on his brilliant rebuttal= [a refutation or contradiction]to micro-aggressions.
Cry Bullies, couldn't be a better definition of the won~ton basement baby mentality of taking, without understanding the ramifications of ONES actions.
I don't need to read the article, to understand Mr. Krieger "gets it". The next time some ass-clown calls you a raycistracist, or intolerant..Reassure him/her of their Cry-Bully status.
Hmm so we will start calling people names, who are calling people names, who are calling people names?
Considering that morality is a subjective ideology of the collective what exactly is the point of the exercise?
Bully. Quit hating on my freedums, you bully.
Gim me sum dat EBT, 46% " labor partition rate", unemployed BULLY...Be hating the working folk!?
You listen here you mal-adjusted individual! You will conform to our beliefs and way of life! If you are unwilling and/or unable to do so, my friends and I shall judge you to be sub-human and therefor unworthy of respect and equitable treatment!
Oh you would like to work? Here, be a good entrepreneur and sell these drugs to your friends.
WHAT? A HYPOCRITE?! That's it, BOY, your goose is cooked!
Universities have become the sinking sand nucleus of a culture under attack.
Ours is the first age in history in which duly constituted, so-called civilized governments are practicing the extermination of their own people by the millions, as a matter of calculated policy. The Soviet government's extermination of its people aside, Chancellor Angela Merkel vowed on Wednesday to stick to her open-door refugee policy, defying criticism at home and abroad, as she and Obama and other European leaders systematically displace their indigenous peoples and their own cultures.
http://news.yahoo.com/merkel-says-schengen-agreement-needs-further-development-092323759.html
As Dr. Ralph Raico wrote to Lew Rockwell, “Lew, this Merkel creature brings to mind the old saying, ‘Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.’”
And now The Federalists Papers is reporting that a political activist who participated in a conference call hosted by the White House , and other immigration activists on the call, called for President Obama to change Thanksgiving Day to a holiday dedicated to illegal immigrants. They want Thanksgiving Day changed to “Celebrate Immigrants Day.”
Communism is a power system, and undergirding that power is terror…planned and coordinated to replace free enterprise economics with a new collective order.
And students, lacking knowledge and experience and susceptible to indoctrination, are receptive to the appeal.
As such, many of today’s universities are assisting the Left Wing in the destruction of Western Civilization and its rights, such as free speech, to be replaced by universal collectivismt.
In his article Has Capitalism a Future? author Paul Johnson acknowledges that today’s expanded university system enabled by prosperity and government subsidies" threatens to become not the powerhouse of Western individualism and enterprise, but its graveyard."
Wrote Johnson under the subhead Anticapitalism
"Now to speak of the 'knowledge industry' was to ask for trouble. Knowledge is not a manufactured commodity. There is knowledge for good and knowledge for evil, as the Book of Genesis says. The 1960s, during which most Western nations doubled, and in some cases trebled, their university places, did not reinforce democratic freedoms, or enlarge the GNP or strengthen the free enterprise system. They produced the students’ revolts, beginning in Paris in 1968; they detonated the Northern Ireland conflict, which is still harassing Britain. They produced the Baader-Meinhoff Gang in West Germany, the Red Brigade in Italy, the Left Fascist terrorism of Japan. They produced an enormous explosion of Marxist studies, centered around the social sciences and especially sociology and a new generation of university teachers and school teachers, dedicated by faith and by a sort of perverted religious piety, to the spread of Marxist ideas.
"There are ironies within the general irony. Thus, the new university of the air, created in Britain at enormous expense to bring higher education to adults, and therefore christened the Open University, sometimes gives the impression that it has become a centre virtually closed to any teacher not of proven Marxist opinion."
In short, universities and colleges once founded by great pioneers of industry and power houses of ideas and clever graduates for the industrial complex and now captives of government "often turned out Marxist and pseudo-Marxist agitators dedicated to the destruction of the wealth-producing machine which brought their university into existence.
Paulson writes that “the steady diffusion of ideas hostile to our free system continues remorselessly. Industrial capitalism, and the free market system, is presented as destructive of human happiness, corrupt, immoral, wasteful, inefficient and above all, doomed. Collectivism is presented as the only way out compatible with the dignity of the human spirit and the future of our race.”
Concludes Paulson: “The expanded university threatens to become not the powerhouse of Western individualism and enterprise, but its graveyard.”

I wonder how western universities will fare after a collapse?
Teacher says with the collapse of capitalism there will be a dictatorship of the proletariat presumably run by political activists and academics Merely a precondition to socialist utopia, of course.
But in America the system is already "post-capitalist" and the "bourgeois" is well armed and well informed.
After the collapse of anticapitalism and Big Government there will be a demand for a new system, IMO Maltese, a system better controlled by the people. And for universities this means more realistic standards of excellence as a demand comes from the people for common sense, i.e., useful education instead of indoctrination of the past.
The common man has always voted for industrial capitalism with his feet, as verified when millions of European peasants, decade after decade, moved across the Atlantic in search of freedom - and the opportunity to sell their labor and skills in an open market – away from a stationary place in a static society.
As authoritarian socialism and central planning fail and working Americans – including the bourgeoisie - begin to go jobless and hungry, and the socialists do not abdicate, I believe as you imply, Maltese, that the middle classes will vote this time with their guns.
Johnson notes, “There seems to be an almost irresistible urge in human beings to move away from the status society to contractual individualism—the central feature of industrial capitalism.”
Socialism is force.
I don’t get why everyone wouldn’t agree with the video.. Its excellent. Coddle University.... Meet the Real World.. There's the shovel start moving that steaming mound of stench! Welcome to the real world!
Made-up issue. Come off it.
Hey Luther? Who's going to restore my" Tenor Saxaphone" that I learned how to play in grammar skool?
Show me a good Chinese saxophone restoration company.
Never mistake privilege for dominance.
You're conflating two separate issues.
The coddling angle is way overdone and misses the point entirely. In fact, the coddling angle is a gross misrepresentation of what this movement is all about. This isn't about oversensitive whiny priviledged kiddies demanding to have things their way. That's a load of horseshit.
This is cultural Marxism. It has only one objective. Some of you will get it at once if you read "cultural Marxism." This is indeed a the cultural variant of economic Marxism. Just as Marxism pitted the proletariat against the ruling class, cultural Marxism pits "oppressed" cultural groups against "dominant culture."
Now you see where this is going. This movement seeks the complete eradication of the dominant culture. And take a wild guess who's culture that is. This movement has one objective: the complete eradication of your culture and everything associated with it. That includes your form of government, your heritage, your institutions. Everything. All of it.
If you think I'm making this shit up and this is just some bullshit contained to a few college campuses, think again.
The pro-sports team renaming bullshit? Guess What. The Confederate Flag nonsense? Take a wild guess. The horseshit about renaming entire buildings and departments? Exactly.
If you think this is some harmless joke or a fad that will blow over eventually, you're not paying attention. The economic Marxists were opposed and fought against. They still managed to take root in governments and basically fuck over half the planet for the better part of a century.
This cultural Marxist horseshit is festering like an uncontained wildfire. There is no serious opposition to it. The meme about oppressive insensitive whitey dominating all the poor chocolate people is spreading like a fucking cancer. We're within a few years of a very real Marxist cultural revolution in this country, and guess who's going to the reeducation camps and getting their shit seized, smashed, stolen and who will get executed for resisting.
If you're reading this, there's a fair chance it will be you. Start taking taking this shit seriously. The country you save might be your own.
I would definitely agree we have entered the fucking twilight zone with much of this shit.
"We're within a few years of a very real Marxist cultural revolution in this country, and guess who's going to the reeducation camps and getting their shit seized, smashed, stolen and who will get executed for resisting."
You make a good point, but America 2015 is not France 1789, Russia 1933 or China 1965.
Americans are well-informed and well-armed.
well-armed, yes. well-informed... depends, in my experience
