As a student at Dartmouth, I find this article to be extremely accurate and
representative of the culture I've encountered amongst the protests here and
(through conversations with friends) at other places across the country. As a

If people are angry about X and you go up to them and try to tell them how
much you like/support X, isn't that what you'd expect? To make people want to
engage you in a thoughtful discussion, it's important to demonstrate humility

differing views the language is not ideological but personal: "X was hurtful"
"He/she felt threatened".
