It started as a joke in the 18th century - now it has swept over a whole generation incapable of independent thought.

This will get worse - a lot worse - before it gets better.
Thank gawd I'm nearing the end.

    Believe it or not, a growing number of people would be offended by that kind of “superior” person talk and call you a Nazi. These people would then tumblr their comrades that think the same. Their comrades would then tumblr their comrades. One could end up as the target in their next scheduled protest. After-which they all go to the SS office to pick up their entitlement checks.
    Free speech is under assault! These people are very dangerous to society!

    It might be interesting to do a study with those that think the earth may be flat and those that call themselves some kind of Marxists.

    There will never be equality of economic outcomes when such a large percentage ignore physical reality.
    Most people are genetically superior to others in some way. Some are physically superior. For example, greater height is superior in some instances, while lesser height is superior in other instances (albeit less often.) Some have superior ability to think rationally and that superior ability to think rationally does result in better economic outcomes on average. (Professional sports players and cinema actors are an anomaly.)

    How dare you insinuate that the drought is not from man-made climate change! Heretic!

    Millennials can't learn from looking at Star Wars and other outer space flicks?
    Do they really think that special effects orb for a planet on the silver screen is like looking straight down at a plate?

    No wonder a lot of these young aldults are angry. I’d be angry too if I never learned the ability to determine basic truths after so much schooling.
