Briar’s Reviews > Campus Battlefield: How Conservatives Can WIN the Battle on Campus and Why It Matters > Status Update

Surprised he didn't mention Soros sooner... So little understanding of the things he argues against. Most lefties think there should be no billionaires. I don't like the Kochs or Soros. However, nice dog whistle.

Candice Owens, intentionally or not, has as little understanding of history as you do. Holdering her up as the black femme conservative does not help you.

A chapter on white privilege and of course a quote by Dr. King. Hard work privilege? Marriage privilege? I don't think you understand the ideas behind it. You're just getting mad about it because the idea can't be summed up by the term itself

I wonder if he's examined the rules of many campuses and figured out why they are in place. At U Wyo, there are a handful of places you can set up. Right or left. It's more so random hallways and less open places are not choke points. I really wonder how this just hurts conservatives

Is there no implication behind words? I have updated my vocabulary as I learn more. Considering how many dog whistles there are (even if they seem to have abandoned them to some extent), this chapter tries to reinforce the idea that words are surface level. I find it insulting

Did safe spaces actually gain traction anywhere? I didn't see one but there were some inclusive third spaces I found in college. I wonder if they did not have the term or if this was a thing. He brings up Brown vs. Board and how we fought for integration but it seems like a way to dismiss the idea of safe spaces. Not sure what to make of this

So turning identity politics around to demand inclusion for conservative ideas while still disliking identity politics when the left does it.... I am not even sure what he is arguing for. There is no position beside 'but muh free speech' while ignoring that there are potential consequences. No concrete positions. Does he only attempt to take a position in a motte bailey when speaking?

Always the free speech of the speaker and no thought of the right to protest. Besides that, there was not much substance to this chapter. Lots of claims but no reasoning. It may be because I went to a small and rather conservative university but I do not recognize his description of college campuses. D Prager came to UW, there were some protests, but he still was easily able to speak.

A decent portion of this chapter is about conservatives censoring themselves and complaining about the disporportionate number of liberal professors. Based on recent news, I wonder how much of this is due to them ignoring the assignment. What beleifs are these students saying that makes them a target? This chapter is full of complaints and few answers

Conservatives are afraid on a campus? Sounds rather hollow. Two of the examples leave out plenty of details and the third is a creep that followed somoeone into the bathroom. Forgive me if I do not take these claims seriously. My campus lets the conservative student organizations get away with much more.
