Riiiiight, the 'concept' of 'social justice' isn't associated with the Left? 

Of course it is and like everything else associated with the left it automatically triggers you guys.

Left handed conservatives must feel like strangers in a strange land or freaks of nature.

 

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Nope. I believe in national healthcare. I believe there are a lot of things government should do. On some issues I'm further left than you are, though with more of an authoritarian bent on things like forcing drug addicts into treatment. There would be no homeless, if I was in charge. The addicts would be in treatment. The crazies would be locked up - as would the criminals, and there'd be small, simple, spartanly furnished rooms for all homeless.

What flavour, commie or nazi?

From what I gather, around here at least, there is no such thing as a conservative authoritarian any more.

Authoritarian: "demanding that people obey completely and refusing to allow them freedom to act as they wish:"

Why on Earth would anyone want to do that to someone?

It's what police do 

And giving drug addicts the freedom to reject treatment and live in the streets is just not on.

Well judging by the lefts behaviors these days it's to make sure they say the right words.  Which brings us back to the topic,

It's usually a given for authoritarians.

Another right-wingers long-winded politicization of the left. A topic that pretty much takes up about 90% of the internet's bandwidth.

That's a lot of judging. Ya'll need to get out more often.

It was two sentences :)   it only seemed long because of your tiny left wing attention span :)

I'm sure you consider 2 sentences to be 90 percent of the internet's bandwidth, but no :)  

but you're making an EXCELLENT example of @I am Groot 's initial position that the left cares more about using fake language rather than deal with the facts :)

Awww - did i say something wrong?  Maybe you should pass a law :)

Seems like having your own authortarian ways rubbed in your face has ticked you off a bit.

I've obviously emotionally damaged you again.  Sorry about that. You're just so fragile.

Read this plum of an account of ninnies spoon-feeding and bubble-wrapping adults in a Canadian university:

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/i-am-a-professor-at-u-of-t-and-i-was-sanctioned-for-encouraging-debate/wcm/93fbb3ef-d6af-4005-9c20-547534f6e026/amp/

IT's literally gotten to the point where if you pass university it's a sign that you're dumber than the average population rather than smarter.

Years ago A friend of mine was a teacher at one of our universities in business for a time and then went on to (not surprisingly) run a successful business. 

He always said  "Never hire the A students. All they learned is how to say what the teacher wanted to hear. Go with the b or b+ Students. They probably thought for themselves and said something different, but said it well.

Now - any grade seems to be about saying what the teacher wants to hear. Say something else and you don't just fail, you're kicked from the university

It’s also that universities have stopped teaching their disciplines and are putting radical left ideology before all other considerations.

They’re churning out fragile spoon fed babies who can’t handle reality and who are scared of having and expressing opinions in case they offend other fragile people.

Honestly the worst thing you could do as a parent these days is send your kid to university, unless its for something like law or being a doctor if that's their dream.  Trade schools and such are a much better choice for kids today
