Wow...way to rattle off the entire list "the liberal's things to whine about" list.....In “The Coddling of the American Mind,” Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt argued that too many college students engage in “catastrophizing,” which is to say, turning common events into nightmarish trials or claiming that easily bearable events are too awful to bear. After citing examples, they concluded, “smart people do, in fact, overreact to innocuous speech, make mountains out of molehills, and seek punishment for anyone whose words make anyone else feel uncomfortable.”
The New Intolerance of Student Activism
This is such a good term and I will be using it EVERY TIME we have one of those molehills made into a mountain event...i.e. Michael Brown the criminal shot, or Tayvon Martin again a criminal shot... or any of the mass shootings! "Catastrophized" Blown way way out of proportion.
The major BLAME though is the MSM and the need for news to fill the 24 hour news cycle!
The solution is simple though.
WAIT! WAIT all you idiots that read the headlines and jump hysterically at what you read!
WAIT! Think. Research. Find out the truth that for example this "hands up don't shoot" crowd after
Michael Brown.... do you think if just a few of the many people that at first had sympathy for this had just waited. See what the official investigation showed. You would have found out Brown attacked the officer!
The officer responded as any normal person would when attacked...attack back!
But no people jumped to conclusions. Made protests. And of course were always available when a
news crew was around!
How ridiculous these people are..."catastrophizing" a CRIMINAL attack!
You mean like they did with FEMA prisons, death panels, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, the War on Christmas, the BLS jobs report, The claim that Obama's skeet shooting picture was a fake, the nearly three decades of fake claims that the right has made about Hillary, and all the other crap that the right blows out of proportion? Is that the kind of dumb exaggeration you are talking about?
They were all brought up by RWNJs. That is a list of things right wingers have whined about.
