Who is eliminating free speech? Has there been threat of arrest by the government? Or just other people practicing their freedom of speech to call people who want to be ignorantly offensive for the sake of it as assholes?

The TC's linked "source" is the only one with claims of demands for the hairdresser to kick all the men out of the establishment. Even when Fox News reported this story back in Sept 2016 the focus was on the hairdresser refusing to provide service, and that the hairdresser in question has been affiliated with anti-Islamic organizations.

We really need a better class of troll. In general we should ask more of ourselves, especially when interacting with people online. People have allowed themselves to get sucked into the negative abyss and normalized such shitty behavior. It shouldn't be ignored, and it shouldn't be accepted. Fuck the fucking fuckers, I'd be all for limiting their access and forcing people to actually interact with other human beings for a change. Maybe they'll develop character or learn to be socially responsible.

So what do you want to do? Censor the entire internet for the sake of sheltered people dumb enough to let themselves be made into troll bait on social media?

The best thing to do is just take none of it seriously

I'm not asking for censorship. I'm asking for death threats and harassment to be treated as seriously online as it is offline. I'm asking for a modicum of decorum when behaving online.

Define hardcore feminist? Which wave? Shit, I just want people treated with dignity and respect and to this day I see women in professional positions of authority treated as if their opinions matter less but male members of top management.

We still live in a society that not only views female perspective or opinion as the lesser, but also tends to view women as sexual objects & possessions.

Not that I would declare myself a hardcore feminist.

I received a medical bill for what was coded and referred to as a self-referral for physical therapy despite having a referral in the system, and prescription from my surgeon. Know what I did? I called both my health insurance company, as well as the office of the hospital. They worked together to re-evaluate the claim and ultimately adjusted in my favor. Over-billing, misused codes, and mistakes happen. Maybe call someone if you feel you've been billed incorrectly.

That link only illustrates that most Millennials polled prefer the Sanders style social democracy as opposed to true Socialism. We already have a system of public (social) services. They merely want to expand that the systems they perceive to be rights as opposed to privileges. Even then, the article ends with "We'll see" with regards to maintaining social leanings.

Many conservatives bemoan millennials’ increased comfort with the idea of “socialism.” But conservatives aren’t recognizing that in the 20th-century battle between free enterprise and socialism, free enterprise already won. In contrast with the 1960s and ’70s, college students today are not debating whether we should adopt the Soviet or Maoist command-and-control regimes that devastated economies and killed millions. Instead, the debate today is about whether the social welfare model in Scandinavia (which is essentially a “beta-test,” because it hasn’t been around long) is sustainable and transferable.

Millennials like free markets, and most already accept that free markets have done more to lift the world out of poverty than any other system. Instead, what this generation has to decide is whether higher education and health-care innovation, access, and high quality can be best achieved through opening these sectors to more free-market reforms or though increased government control. This is a debate we should be glad to have.

The Goldman Sachs source only demonstrates that Gen Z will be more influential. Not that they are more conservative. There isn't any actual supporting data for political leanings in the linked articles.

Gen-Z is more conservative, more money-oriented, and more entrepreneurial than the millennials were. "A recent Harvard Business Review article suggested that nearly 70% of Gen-Z teens were 'self-employed' (e.g., teaching piano lessons, selling goods on eBay) vs. just 12% that held a 'traditional' teen job (e.g., waiting tables)," Goldman says.

But that isn't actual data. That is merely a statement, followed by another statement regarding American youth finding non-traditional ways to make money (which is common for pretty much every generation - Like babysitting, mowing lawns, shoveling snow, etc etc - Current kids simply have more options and ways to advertise services)

Part of the reason he was elected was because he acts like a normal human being. Not having a fake persona where you can never really tell what the hell he/she is thinking or feeling.

Remember Angelica from Rugrats? You always knew how she felt all times because she was honest with her feelings. Remember that episode where she created an alternate character? Her fake sister? Yeah. And she had a point at the end.

You knew that whatever she was feeling was honest. Not fake.

I'll take that any day of the week.

So how do you reconcile that with years of his dishonesty?

Conservatives are better than liberals. We are the fighters of free speech. I know it feels good to "give them a taste of their own medicine." However, it's hypocritical for us to use the same tactics liberals use, then laugh at them when they do it.
