I’m hearing a lot of “college kids today don’t know how to disagree because they are always in their little phone bubble” but it is by and large not the students who are calling up university presidents and demanding that speech they don’t like be banned.

Certainly if it was the students, nobody in admin would listen to them...

also - anecdotal but - in my life the people with no control over their phone usage are boomers. I don't see my Gen Z cousins on the phone at family events if they're in the middle of people. I do frequently get annoyed by my parents lack of phone etiquette and rude behavior w/ cell phones

Yup. The students are the ones trying use free speech to end a genocide. The bubble is the right-wingers inside a bizarre discourse that rationalizes that genocide. They don't live in reality.

It’s the people paying for it. And if you damage a public university? We have the right to be pissed at the million dollar price tag and making it to where we public folks can’t just use the resources anymore!

It's also not true! Study after study coming out recently points to the disillusionment we get from being online is that we're encountering more disagreement than we're naturally able to handle
