Steve Sailer writes: From the Los Angeles Times below is an article that makes evident how the violence against the Trump rally in Chicago was part of the ongoing Safe Spaces campus movement, such as the Yale freakout over Halloween costumes.
Of course, Safe Spaces has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with the territorial imperative. Young people naturally feel the urge to fight turf wars, to stake out territory and drive out enemies. Normally in America we have laws to regulate the competition for property so territorial urges don’t turn into mob rule. But over the last year minority college students have increasingly asserted that they must be above the law because racism. It’s the only way they can be safe.
What we’re seeing at UIC is the balkanized future of America in which The Diverse can only come together over fear and loathing of whites. Hating whites is the KKKrazy Glue of the coalition of the fringes.
How black, Latino and Muslim college students organized to stop Trump’s rally in Chicago
Kate Linthicum and Kurtis Lee
When black, Muslim and Latino student activists at the University of Illinois at Chicago heard last week that Donald Trump was planning a rally on campus, they did what any good organizers do in 2016: They went online.
Within days, thousands of people had liked a Facebook page called “Stop Trump – Chicago.” Tens of thousands added their names to a MoveOn.org petition calling on the school to cancel the rally.
They all had one thing in common, said Casandra Robledo, a second-year student who helped organize the protest: “We felt so strongly that Donald Trump and his bigotry and racism wasn’t welcome here.”
Comments:
* I saw bits and pieces from three of Trump’s speeches today, and from the one in St Louis yesterday. In each speech he was interrupted several times. The protests were staged to burn one protester every five minutes or so. So instead of one big protest, you got all these little protests.
Yet Trump surprisingly stayed focused and calm. Even when he was giving some anecdote and was interrupted for 5 minutes, he seemed to be able to recover and continue. That’s impressive for a 69 year old without notes.
The bottom line is that I am impressed with his ability to maintain his self control and not lose his temper or just storm out. He waited out the disturbances, tried to remain upbeat and soldiered on. Looking at all the traveling he has done in the past 24 hours, I am amazed.
* “This is where BLM and the Romneyites converge.
I think there needs to be a better explanation than merely the coalition of the fringes, because when the most establishmenty guys of all provide some of the cues for the protesters maybe we ought to entertain the notion that there isn’t any core to speak of anymore.”
Both are part of the established order. Both see each other as enemies and they both know how to fight each other and both have deep territory from which they draw their strength.
It’s much better to fight an enemy you know by following comfortable routines than getting engaged in a battle to the death with an unknown enemy who fights in ways you can’t counter.
Trump is an existential threat to the Romneyites because he would dislodge them from power and he’s s threat to the BLM types because he doesn’t respond in predictable ways. BLM knows that they can shake-down the Romneyites but Trump is more likely to tell them to FO and go ballistic on them and smash them to dust.
* ““As an undocumented UIC graduate student, I feel unsafe knowing that Trump along with his followers will be at my university,” organizer Jorge Mena wrote in an open letter to the school’s administration.”
He feels so unsafe that he publicly talks about how he’s undocumented to a major U.S. newspaper and in an open letter to the school’s administration.
* After watching the videos of Ragin’ Rupert Pupkinado attempting to attack Trump I give the security team a C+ grade.
Doesn’t look like his security detail would do well with two or three rushing the stage at once. Or even a diversionary action coordinated with a stage rush. The security guys looked OK but not great.
We need to realize that the videos are being studied intently by the scum who is organizing this stuff.
