Why does it seem as if America’s college campuses have totally lost it? Well, because they have. In short, feelings now rule facts, and victims are heroes. But here’s a fact: If you’re a college student in the United States, you’re almost certainly NOT a victim. Ben Shapiro explains why.

Script:

Vanderbilt University, November 2015: 200 students rise up to protest the white privilege and micro aggressions of the “racist,” “bigoted” Vanderbilt administration. The protestors don’t offer any specific examples of discrimination, but that doesn’t matter – what matters is that they feel victimized. The next day, a bag of dog poop shows up at the front door of the university’s Black Cultural Center. All hell breaks loose. Full of righteous indignation, student activist groups rush to Facebook to denounce the racist act. The police investigate; they quickly find the person responsible, but nobody is arrested.

You know why? Because it turns out that the bag of excrement wasn’t a racist attack. It was left by a blind girl with a service dog. She couldn’t find a trash can, so, wanting to do the responsible thing, she left the bag outside the door of a nearby building, knowing a janitor would pick it up and throw it away.

The student group did apologize – but then they added another charge against the administration: “The needs of students with disabilities on this campus are also marginalized.” Seriously – this is not a joke.

On the college campus today, feelings rule facts and victims are heroes. According to the left, all inequality in America is due to victimization. They start by claiming that all non-white people in America are victims of “white privilege.” Then come women. They’re all victims of the patriarchy. Then come gays, and lesbians and the transgendered – they’re all victims of our “heteronormative” and “homophobic” society.

But what if you haven’t actually been victimized by anybody? It doesn’t matter. To the left, so long as you feel victimized, you’re a victim. Even if you have never actually experienced discrimination, you’ve surely been targeted by “micro aggressions.” You know – nasty little words and phrases that weren’t meant to be insults, but just are.

If somebody asks you, “where are you from?” that’s considered a xenophobic micro aggression. They’re implying that you are a foreigner! If a man holds open a door for a woman – which, but the way, you’re supposed to do – that’s a sexist micro aggression because he’s treating her like she’s a helpless female. Of course, he’s also treating her like she’s a woman – but how would he know? And heaven forbid anybody address you by your biologically accurate pronoun. What if she identifies as a man?!?

In short, everyone is a victim – except, of course, straight, white males… Also, anybody who dares to disagree with the left. If you’re guilty of either of those crimes, you must be confronted, even if doing so requires actual aggression – like, say, a riot.

Here’s a trick the left plays to justify their violence: First, they say it’s okay to punch Nazis. Then, they say that every conservative – in fact, everybody they disagree with – is a Nazi. But here’s the biggest problem with the left’s argument: They’re based on feelings, not facts.

  3. Fact: Climate change is a real thing and we need to reduce our carbon emissions to protect the ecosystems that sustain the development of infrastructure that supports human life. Climate change should also not be a political issue since you cant have a free market capitalism if the ozone is destroyed.

  5. Why can't we talk about the wrong that Jews do but can openly criticize anyone? Are the Jews infallible? If I criticize a Jew I'm Anti-Semitic? Garbage. The Jews are human just as everyone else. I'll take my ban now.

  12. Ben:
    You need to explain why you believe feelings aren’t facts.
    And you also need to explain why you’re implicitly belittling people’s feelings in comparison to everything else.

    Please thoroughly explain both. We’re all waiting patiently.

  15. Prejudice, discrimination, exclusion, aggression and violence do not matter to progressives, they have no issue engaging in any and all of those behaviors — they only care when someone from their political camp is the victim of it, then turn around and actively encourage it towards people outside their political camp.

  21. CO2 also doesn't care about the feelings of people or the economy. It just traps heat per the laws of physics (triatomic molecular vibrations deflect infrared energy). Point being, don't make the same emotional mistakes as Leftists if you claim to respect logic in the face of unpleasant news. Nature's limits are just stifling Man's hubris and aspirations. Look at everything objectively, not tribally.
