Is this because such things will never fly there, or because they haven't yet thoroughly propagated there? My concern is it's the latter.
- cbanek 7y agoIt's possible it could spread to general society, although I think: 1. Not everyone goes to college and gets indoctrinated like this thinking it is the way the world should be 2. America at least has free speech, which I really hope doesn't change (even for the people I hate and disagree with), and I think that is the opposite of all this safe space stuff. 3. We're so politically polarized, if anything I think the left could go this way, but the right probably won't. I don't think there will ever be a general safe space where everyone agrees. So IMHO, it just won't fly.
- matt-attack 7y agoExactly what I was thinking. At some point imagine when these kids hold all the jobs at CNN, all the positions in Congress, etc. We could see massive change.

- mmjaa 7y agoJust look at history, its very clear: safe spaces are unsustainable. The petroleum-economy is a safe space, and its rapidly killing us all.

- notacoward 7y agoCan confirm. A lot of it's welcome and overdue, but there is also at least the potential for the kind of chilling effects the OP describes.
- odessacubbage 7y agoall you really need is for someone woke enough to get control over the hiring process. at some point you'd probably see a market correction & more businesses would begin to adopt the chick-fil-a' approach of unapologetic traditionalism.
