With a great deal of respect to the fact that Donald Trump is the best thing that has happened to American political media since Ronald Reagan . . . Here's a bit of Internets fact checking for our friends working mainstream media gigs . . .
#TheChalkening, a pro Donald Trump campaign, hits KU, Mizzou: Following last month's controversy at Emory University when students protested against pro-Donald Trump messages in chalk, "The Chalkening" movement has advanced to several colleges across the nation. Those include campuses at the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri . . .
The story goes on to report chalk "investigations" at local college which may or may not be important to locals . . .
Here's the thing . . .
THE SO-CALLED #CHALKENING IS BASED ON THE MISAPPREHENSION THAT ANYBODY CARES ABOUT TRUMP CHALK SUPPORT ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES!!!
Seriously, with all of the sexual experimentation, causal drug use and semi-decent music scenes . . . Only the absolute
Again, we turn to the Internets for confirmation that "chalk outrage" is mostly hype . . .
Internets Authority Snopes.com: A controversy at Emory University over graffiti promoting Donald Trump led to some predictably inaccurate media reports.
This meme is tagged as mostly false . . .
SNOPES . . . WHAT'S FALSE: "Emergency counseling" was offered to or demanded by students; Emory students complained that their "safe spaces" had been violated; students were afraid of or traumatized by the chalk markings.
All of this is based on the stereotypes propagated by old, busted and naive baby boomers claiming that the younger generation is far too sensitive, politically correct and unambitious . . .
From The Atlantic . . . Old Economy Steve: The Official Meme for Embittered Millennials
The reality is that college students today are quite brave in confronting some of the worst professional job prospects this nation has ever seen, the losing battle against overseas outsourcing and the very real prospect that robots (along with more subtle forms of Internets based automation) will replace half of all American workers in the not too distant future.

Trump is an easy target.
ReplyDeleteIf college students want to focus their anger about outsourcing, they should look at Bill Clinton who helped put forward NAFTA and other trade agreements that were detrimental to American workers. I'm sure his donors are encouraging Hillary to do the same thing.
Old economy Steve is just about everyone in Johnson County.
ReplyDeleteEmbittered Millennials
ReplyDeleteLOL nailed it!
Maybe if these embittered millennials who grew up watching MTV and farting around with Windows 95 actually produced something of real value they wouldn't be so embittered.
ReplyDeleteTrump will save us.
ReplyDeleteUsually i wait till August before I get that feeling I need to vote against sometime but its too early to give up the ghost.
ReplyDeleteTake back Coonmerica
ReplyDeleteBoomers truly are the biblical plague of locusts, just ravishing and consuming everything they touch.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, the Great Die Off has begun and maybe something can be salvaged from the world they've left.
Enjoy those final cruises, boomer scum!
12:04 Still sleeping on mommy's couch after the big Jr. College experience?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the little kids' in U.S. cities finding fewer 'safe spaces' from the criminals plaguing their neighborhoods. Bet those CHALKED outlines left by the local coroners or CSI teams puts some real FRIGHTENING on the 'chalkening' there.
ReplyDeleteCollege crybabies.
12:44 Nope, in my late 30s and making a good living.
ReplyDeleteJust have lived long enough with open eyes to see what havoc the Boomer slobs have wreaked on the world.
Human kudzu these fucks, choking off and consuming everything they touch.
Of course there are exceptions, but they're rare.
Look, I hate these whiny college panty-waists as much as the next guy, but to defend the Boomer plague is just shows a fucking moronic blindness to the world around you.
The baby boomers will at some point die off en masse, and currently there's not enough of a new population to replaceme them, at least in the fully developed nations. At some point the millenials will catch up.
ReplyDelete4:36 Why don't you late bloomers shut you fucking pie holes. It was your generation of shit heels that directly contributed to the market crash of 2008. A prime example of modern day genius run amok. You should stop whining about boomers and show the world how it is done 'cause right now most of you fatherless shit rags sound like a bunch of whining coons.
ReplyDelete^^^ racist and old is no way to finish your time on planet earth. have some pride and try to leave this dump a better place than what you found it.
ReplyDelete^^^^^Whiny and entitled is no way to get beyond participation trophies. Hateful ingrates will have to earn their own like the big boys and girls of previous generations. Student loans were not for boomers. They worked and studied, FULL TIME AT BOTH. Plenty started families and bought good first homes while getting higher skilled and degreed through GI bills. The numb, real dumb young need to give up the MTV, All About Me, I Want It Free, Facebook "Like" Me fantasy.
