Remember, these people and I include my kids in this, were given trophies for showing up for T-ball, so what do you expect.I found this point interesting: One generation came of age where they entered this esteemed institution and tried to find a way to fit into it, and this other generation has an expectation that the institution will change to accommodate them. That’s the essence of the tension.”
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, ‘tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscover’d country from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action.—Soft you now!
The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
Be all my sins remember’d.
I wonder, if the whining demands of today's offended youth mirror not the petulant emotional immaturity of Donald Trump and all his childish blowhard bluster.
Easy Bro, all that happened long ago. You are the pile of scraps that remain, your weltanschauung.
Lol, you sorely need some perspective. This is an age-old and endless cycle. Soon enough, you'll be the very same people you now hate. Don't believe me? You really should have read the entire article, sport. Or if you (think) you did, you should have better taken it in. I'll just leave you with this, right from the very article you may have thought you read:
As Gay Talese once wrote of the 1950s-era Times: “There were philosophical differences dividing older Timesmen who feared that the paper was losing touch with its tradition and younger men who felt trapped by tradition.”)
What goes around, comes around, Mr. Bitter Generational Warrior. It's always a matter of perspective. Get some (perspective.)
For me, I see myself not expecting anything because I have something else, understanding, and namely here that, as I frequently mention, humanity is asleep. This again is an issue where there are two typical reactions to a problem, with a third way uniting the opposites at a higher level of understanding. As you know, I believe we hate ourselves which makes the issue of self esteem front and center as humanities major problem. Low self esteem is the result of comparisons and competition. Who is the best at this and that, with maybe just one winner and countless others depending on the competition, not making the grade. The result is that you can have a few winners who may feel confident in some areas and others who feel like failures. I say again and again that competition is hate.Remember, these people and I include my kids in this, were given trophies for showing up for T-ball, so what do you expect.

Remember that I have said that we hate ourselves, don't know it, don't want to know it, and don't want to know we don't want to know. This will be taking place as you read this. And it happens when educators and thinking liberals try to figure out what to do about low self esteem as it impacts child learning. If you feel stupid, you will manifest stupid behavior, so it is important for kids to have some sense of themselves as worth something. But because liberals, like all other people hate themselves and don't know it, don't want to know it and so on, There is no chance in hell they will come up with a real solution to this. Their answer is to make everybody a winner because to see the evil of competition itself, they would need to be aware of their own feelings and how they came to have them. That is the last thing that anybody will do.
Did you read the OP's link? It clearly points to the issue being you. What you describe here is exactly the kind of nonsense that creates the problem, blindness to the real issue because you imagine you are being disrespected when in fact it is you who is disrespectful. Listen up you arrogant prick and budding Nazi, get your Panzer off my lawn.So what's the issue here? I see old people complaining because they can't say colored people anymore or because they feel like they can't say, "merry Christmas" while the youth is saying, "you can't call people that", and "people celebrate more than just Christmas, you know".
Basically its old people yelling, "get off my lawn", while kids ride their bikes and skateboards up and down the street.
In other words, this is nothing new, you've become your parents and the world is moving on without you.

You know perfectly well you couldn't handle me describing your liberal brain defect. This that you posted here is just more of the same crap. You are the old one, my dear righteous fanatic. You are responding with the reptilian part of your brain which evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. Evolved people experience respect for others at whatever stage of evolution. You learned in Kindergarten not to throw sand in others' faces. Well, you were supposed to learn that. Maybe you got treated as a snowflake.
Great journalists understand this, and the important role of a free press, which is why the NY Times is a reputable source of news.
Sounds like the younger staff members would be happier writing for Weekend Update on SNL.
Newspapers are not meant to be woke. They are not meant to mirror confirmation bias.

It sounds like these younger staffers want to turn the NY Times into a safe space.

Not that the kids are definitely aware of it, but we know a lot more about cognitive biases now, which certainly affect the value of wisdom and experience.The big problem is that the young ones believe they are equally right as the people above them. Experience and wisdom are castaway because they have the truth!

Is that the problem or is that pretty typical of every generation? What's next? Are you going to complain about kids playing their music too loud? Complaining about the crap kids watch on tv nowadays? Kids don't have respect for their elders anymore?
Lol, fucking old people.

As the kids say: da fuq?That bias is on both sides. The issue here is that the "kids" have no wisdom to question if they are right. You cant question hating Nazis, so if you question if people are Nazis, you are a Nazi. Wisdom is what is gained going through life and having your beliefs challenged. Does not make one right, it just helps find the right path. Its not a new issue by any means.
As the kids say: da fuq?
Can you cite examples of this phenomena taking place? Is this a college campus thing?The younger generation labels people, and then hates that group. If you question if a person truly is part of that group, you get labeled as part of said group and are dismissed. Its the same thing mccarthyism which was also not a new thing.

I like how you say this un-ironically as you characterize a whole generation.
None of your business, kid.

Um... so mccarthyism. If you are talking about something more recent, find a thread where I was accused of being a water-holder for Nazis for saying that we should not murder people who have Nazi beliefs but have not committed a crime because they might not be a Nazi.
