Poor Progressive Snowflakes

The Progressive snowflakes on college campuses are a gift that keeps on giving, providing endless material for comedians and public detractors alike.

The 'hurt' and 'unsafe feelings' these precious know-nothings experience when they are confronted with topics, events, or people that threaten their weirdly distorted world view have become an endless stream of ammunition for anyone with a modicum of common sense to heap much deserved ridicule and derision upon these adult-looking crybullies.

In the case below, it was a forum at the University of Pittsburgh where Breitbart Tech editor Mile Yiannopoulos which traumatized a bunch of overly sensitive 'students'.

“During his talk, Yiannopoulos called students who believe in a gender wage gap ‘idiots,’ declared the Black Lives Matter movement a ‘supremacy’ group, while feminists are ‘man-haters,’” according to the student paper The Pitt News. prompting a handful of twenty-something-year olds to feel upset.

“So many of us shared in our pain. I felt I was in danger, and I felt so many people in that room were in danger,” proclaimed Marcus Robinson, student and president of the Pittsburgh Rainbow Alliance. Robinson also suggested that councilors should have been provided in another room to protect students who felt “traumatized” by Yiannopoulos’s opinions.

“This is more than hurt feelings, this is about real violence. We know that the violence against marginalized groups happens every day in this country,” claimed social work and urban studies major Claire Matway. “That so many people walked out of that [event] feeling in literal physical danger is not alright.”

President of the College Republicans and fellow student Tim Nerozzi responded to the complaints by proclaiming, “I’m not here to rain on your parade. We put a trigger warning on our fliers for the event. We never claimed it would be a family friendly or a politically correct lecture.”

Real violence? So Yiannopoulos physically attacked these poor snowflakes, leaving the victims with welts, bruises, and broken bones? No? So it wasn't real violence, but something uncomfortable that they are incapable of facing without a fainting couch nearby to catch their bodies when they suffer from the vapors brought on by this theoretical act of violence?

I have two words of advice for these children: Grow Up.

The real world isn't going to give a damn about their hurt feelings and it certainly isn't going to change to meet their demands for a world safe from any controversy or bad feelings. These idiots need to seek professional help. Perhaps they should be institutionalized for the remainder of their natural lives because they are incapable of dealing with reality.

It would serve them right.
