lily-peet:

This is so stupid I was half expecting to see “THIS IS WHAT PSEUDO-LIBERTARIANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE” written across the bottom in big bold print. But no, it’s a genuine, straight faced “Political Correctness will lead us to this” paranoia.

I’m disappointed, Josh. I expect better from you.

What’s happened in this video already has happened. I’ve seen it. Obviously to not as an extreme a degree, but still.

The video talks about how Math is being replaced with Sociology?

That’s happening, in a way.

Several colleges now like UCLA no longer require you to study Shakespeare in order to get a degree in English Literature, instead requiring you study Gender, Race, Ethnicity, Critical Theory, and Imperial Transnational or Post-Colonial studies. Look it up if you don’t believe me.

The “privilege points” which allowed that one guy to essentially blue-shell his way into getting special treatment for doing no work?

Yes, it sounds fairly silly, until I thought about it. I see many stories of how competent workers get fired to be replaced with unqualified minorities because otherwise they lose funding / get called bigoted. That sounds very similar to the “privilege points” which were talked about in this video.

They aren’t just making this stuff up. They, and I included, have seen this happen (The stories I hear from Sweden and Denmark… yeesh). Yes, it was obviously exaggerated in this video, but that’s satire for ya: Using a ridiculous scenario or hyperbole to make a finer point.
