Awareness -> The number of snowflakes in Britain hits critical mass (8/22/2017 7:08:26 AM)
The latest bout of insanity from the socialist utopia that is modern Britain: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/aug/21/cps-to-crack-down-on-social-media-hate-says-alison-saunders I expect all Brits in this forum to start being a lot more pleasant to everyone - lest we be forced to report you to your own CPS and have you brought up on hate crime charges. In Britain, harsh language is now the same as assault. And the CPS will now be prosecuting opinions. This is the classic thoughtcrime rationale of the Party. And it is no way hyperbolic to call this Orwellian. It is exactly the realisation of the template laid bare by Orwell in his writings. Welcome to 1984, you socialist nutbars.

Political Correctness goes nuts. I grew up feeling like the Left was more about free speech. And through my adulthood, I watch the left slowly turn into less about free speech but criminalizing all kinds of speech. And now, I feel so far away from the left, it's unreal. I also hold leftism responsible for Charlie Gard's death.

"Writing in the Guardian, Saunders said: “Left unchallenged, even low-level offending can subsequently fuel the kind of dangerous hostility that has been plastered across our media in recent days. That is why countering it is a priority for the CPS." Don't they have any antifa fascists to handle that? Once again, the USA leads the world.

It's not just the Brits who have a notion that better social manners are to purpose of betterment of society and might possibly to cause/effect of evolution. Intentionally increasing the volume and loudness intensity of either physical or metaphorical or philosophical flatulence is not going to save the day, here, sorry/not sorry to send that one along. I NEVER understood, even growing up here, how such pride in being ill-mannered and uncultured could ever be a cause celebre. Fucking Protestants.

The dumbass doesn't even know how the term 'snowflake' ever came about in the first place, not surprising. Howevermuch he deludes himself else wise, the term was originally and thereafter to purpose of explaining individuality, not fragility. It was the dullwits who took their misinterpretation and ran with it. The purposeful misinterpretation was soley to reach out to idiots like you and thousands of others like you. Oooh!. You have no answer, sorry/not for you.

I find it instructive that inherent lack of social graces on your part equates in your deluded mind to lack of intestinal fortitude, which you so obviously lack yourself, as attack on others.

Welcome to 1984, you socialist nutbars. its the establishment of a religion, ya'll need to bone up on what a religion is. likewise europe putting heretics in jail for blaspheming about the holocaust. The term is usually used to refer to violations of important religious teachings, but is used also of views strongly opposed to any generally accepted ideas.[4] It is used in particular in reference to Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. and todays wacked out gubmint

You have no answer, sorry/not for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Snowflake#Background quote: The term "snowflake" has been used to refer to children raised by their parents in ways that give them an inflated sense of their own uniqueness. This usage of "snowflake" has been reported to originate from Chuck Palahniuk's 1996 novel Fight Club, and its 1999 film adaptation. Both the novel and the film include the line "You are not special. You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake." In January 2017, Palahniuk claimed credit for coining this usage of "snowflake", adding "Every generation gets offended by different things but my friends who teach in high school tell me that their students are very easily offended". Palahniuk referred to the young adults of the 2010s as exhibiting "a kind of new Victorianism.” According to Merriam-Webster, Palahniuk was not the first person to use the metaphor saying, "It's the stuff of self-help books and inspirational posters and elementary school assurances. The imagery before negation is lovely; we are each unique snowflakes, each worth treasuring because each is uniquely beautiful", furthering "Palahniuk's denial of the individual's snowflake status struck a chord." Regardless of how a word gets it's start, usage is king. Once a meaning is conveyed by a word or phrase across a large enough population, that word will not ever likely lose that 'definition,' no matter how much it differs from the original usage.
