Brickbat: There's a New Marshal in Town

KiloCharlieLima

The student union at King's College, a public university in England, pays "safe space marshals" to police campus speakers to make sure they don't make anyone feel uncomfortable. They make £12 an hour and get free tea and coffee and yoga and spin classes. Members of the school's Israel Society note that marshals were present during one of their events last year but failed to prevent demonstrators from disrupting it by throwing chairs and and breaking windows, which one assumes would make members of the Israel Society feel uncomfortable.

I take some comfort, as I sit here awake and at work at 1 AM, that Charles Oliver is also here with me. Posting articles.

There is no possible way that it is 1 AM in Arizona right now. You cretinous liar.

*Pacific* time is for *Pacific* states only. It's like right there in the name. Are you on the beach right now? Huh? Didn't think so.

I moved to Seattle earlier this year for work. I've often discussed my hatred of this place.

[BestUsedCarSales]

That being said, I am not on a beach. You are right about that.

Also, what do you do? You're always really late too. I imagine you either work a late shift, or are an insomniac.

"Your policing of the campus speakers is making me uncomfortable."

[Rat on a train]

You should feel uncomfortable. They are challenging you privilege. Now prostrate yourself and beg for forgiveness.

More uncomfortable than others? Napoleon?

[Tamara Berens, president of the university's Israel Society] said she raised concerns about an event held during Israel Apartheid Week earlier this year, where speakers appeared to condone terrorism against Israelis.

However, she said the student union refused to acknowledge that this was a breach of the Safe Space policy on the grounds that it was "political".

It would appear your tactic won't work. The safe space policy is applied selectively.

[Fist of Etiquette]

They must be ready to take "immediate action" if anyone expresses opinions that breech the Safe Space policy.

Does the immediate action involve at all the fetal position?

[Rat on a train]

It is the modern duck and cover.

stop, drop & roll?

According to the article, it involves leaving for tea -- -- --

There are lists of protected classes; I do not believe Jewish people, given all their "privilege," are very high on that list. And of course anything supporting Israel gets no consideration. I imagine these thought police have an algorithm to reference for deciding who gets to throw chairs and break windows, and who doesn't, as well as who can complain about it.

A formula or list would throw the whole scam process into disarray. This is more feelz territory than objective competence territory.
