Excellent post. As an American, I never thought I'd see the day when free speech was shut down on college campuses, political disgreements resulted in being called a "nazi" and the free exchange of ideas was viewed as dangerious.
I rememeber a time when colleges encouraged students to find people who held the opposite view and try to understand each side. Today, we see college students needing safe spaces simply because they can't handle hearing opposing views. Political opponents are now viewed as less than human. You'd think people would learn from history. Instead it seems destine to be repeated over and over again. The world seems to go in cycles from the "we" phase (collective thought, mob rule, police state) to the "me" phase (individual rights, freedom). The world is cetainly entering the hieght of the "we"phase.
