I see this snowflake insult thrown around constantly by Leave voters, right-wingers, and alt-right kids when anyone disagrees with their views, like you guys never take offence yourself, or never moan and complain about things you don't like. It's an easy way to shutdown rational debate, and shows a complete lack of self-awareness.
Easy, because snow flakes are offended by the smallest of things and melt immediately.
My example to you is a classic one.
Cameron rewords it as disturbing the peace, but it a disguised veiled attempt to suggest war.
So the soft idealists are horrified at "war" and won't accept the obvious.

This soft attitude offends me alright. Stop dressing something up in shiny glitter and ribbons, in case you offend someone. Say what you mean in the details it deserves.

I can throw that one right back at you here, as we see time and again.
Mention immigration then you're a bigot/racist/xenophobe/isolationist. No debate, it's hurled immediately in order to shut someone down. We've seen it in the Brexit discussions on TV and we've seen it in things like the muslim rape gangs.
When the Police and social services were terrified to act.
The German/Swedish governments have a black belt in it.

Well I've told you, it's wearing very thin now and folks aren't intimidated anymore.
So rational debate is fine provided you supply a level playing field. The left/liberal screamers have been destroying that for years.
It's over.
