There’s a difference between standing silently and putting your head down and lying to yourself about your values.

Who said anything about lying to yourself about your values?

No one?

Good talk.

Not a single person aside from myself and pangloss gave leon advice that would have him actually stand for his beliefs.

Everyone else’s advice is absolutely cowardly. It’s absolutely “keep your head down and avoid everything.” That’s lying about what you can stand for.

Yeah, sure. He could stand for his beliefs. Then what? He's probably accomplished nothing and most likely made his university experience worse. What good does that do?

And listen, I agree in standing for your beliefs but it's most likely going to be counter-productive at a regressive university when you could be more productive in your studies. These places are not the hill to die on for your beliefs.

When I say keep your head down, I mean pick your battles. It's totally useless against batshit insane SJW's.

We didn't have such issues at my school.

"It’s absolutely “keep your head down and avoid everything.” That’s lying about what you can stand for. "

So Jackie Robinson kept his head down and avoided confrontation when he was signed to the major leagues.

So you are saying he was cowardly and lying about what he stood for?

LOL!!! OK

"These places are not the hill to die on for your beliefs. "

Exactly.

Goal number one when going to a college or university is to get an education and get a degree.

Standing for your beliefs just so you can get your ass kicked without realizing any actual change just to say you stood up for your beliefs is kinda silly.

but hey, if it makes you feel like you have a bigger penis, good on you.

@Kansas - Jackie is a bad example. He had no ability to hide. His thing that people found objectionable was the color of his skin, not his beliefs. He couldn't truly succeed without coming under abuse. Your political beliefs are easily hidden and you can get through much of society without anyone else being any wiser of it

Jackie's being there was standing up for what he believed in in itself. He didn't have to do anything else to make his point.

I have the biggest penis.

Bigger penises feel better.

I mean, what?

Exactly, so if Jackie can do it others can do it without having "to lie to themselves about their beliefs"

Keeping quiet and out of stupid, useless, potential violent situations is smart. It is not lying about your beliefs to yourself.

You missed the “inability to hide” aspect of goldie’s argument.

"You missed the “inability to hide” aspect of goldie’s argument. "

No I didn't.

Yet you suggest leon hide anyway.

I'm suggesting Leon not pick stupid battles to measure penis size.

If Jackie could avoid obvious battles everywhere he went, Leon can avoid stupid battles as well.
