It seems a fairly good friend of mine who I met around this time last year in my first social work class has broken up with me! hahaha
He is full-on SJW -- though a nice enough guy despite his dislike for free speech, due process, and white people.
Why did we go to Splitsville?
That racist pampered dough boy Richard Spencer. That is why!
My SJW friend and I disagreed on OSU's handling of the issue.
He cited "making people feel safe" and such.
I cited the good ol' first amendment.
Then he sent me an NPR podcast about how racists hide behind free speech. (Check it out here:

Then I sent him a podcast about identity politics & free speech and such by Sam Harris. (Check it out here:

(And I also said I thought Sam Harris to be one of the most important public intellectuals of our time -- so that probably sank the boat faster.)
Then poof! Finito! No mas!
Friendship appears dissolved.
But isn't this odd?
There is a rhetorical and ideological war in the house of The Left.
