Political Correctness

[desecration]

"Socialism [political correctness] consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law does not protect but binds."

Egalitarians always take from the perceived higher to give to the perceived lower, because this justifies and rationalizes the existence of egalitarians. They're just parasites of the usual sort (crime, insanity, gambling, obesity, perversity, promiscuity, incompetence).

People who dream of, and unfortunately, fight for a world ordered to their purview rarely, I mean, never, realize their dreams because they must act in concert with other dreamers, many of whom will turn out to be more ambitious, and ruthless. It's better to just deal with the injustices (slings and arrows) of reality.

Cool it with all the threads, fuckhead.

We already have dumb fucks who create 10 threads a day.

There is but one answer to the notion of compelled speech, "NO." If that doesn't get the point across then harsher means may be necessary.

True. Including the realization that somewhere upwards of ninety percent of humanity should not be making many decisions at all.

Make sure they can have decent lives, reasonable homes, safe streets, clean air, and fresh water.

Cut costs so they can enjoy life and not work all the time.

That's the best it gets.

That cannot happen unless we start teaching basic economics at a young age.

We should stress a moral code with delayed gratification as a core tenet.

Socialism and political correctness are different things. Mindlessly saying “nyah, nyah … you are too!” is not an argument.

Conservatives hold different groups to different standards all the time.

No one applies their standards equally across the board. No one. Not even me. For example I think some people deserve a spanking when they talk out of turn and others get to say what they want when they want.

The spanked are of a different mindset about that kind of equality.

Then why do they always show up at the same time? The latter is there to enable the former.

Life is inherently unfair, but we can work to ameliorate the worst disparities.

“Political correctness” is a term that conservatives use to describe things they don’t like—like socialism or racial equality.

The "visually challenged" are still fucking blind and the "hearing impaired" are still fucking deaf. I can take any word or phrase and turn it into a pejorative merely by changing the tone and inflection of my voice. The PC are just on a power trip trying to enforce meaningless bullshit on others. Fuck'em.

Interesting worldview on the complexities of human existence you got there, Ish.

So, say a (cis straight) man has trouble achieving a full erection with his wife/lover/fetishized object, due to age, sickness or injury. Maybe he can get it up halfway at best if he struggles but not to full flag-bearing mast and virtually not enough to even to bust a nut.

he's still an impotent limp dick, right? We can say fuck'im to that guy's man feels as well because his penis is functionally useless beyond being a piss pipe, correct?

I am not sure we should. This makes society into a totalitarian entity eventually.

I shall provide previous wisdom on said subject. For your reading pleasure...

So, you're pushing hard for political correctness. That's quite odd, since you Deplorables berated Liberals for decades for supposedly doing the same thing. What changed, snowflake?

"Redneck" is just comedy. Can't you take a joke?

[Subject: Conservative anger over being told "OK Boomer"]

'Member when Conservatives spent decades decrying political correctness?

'Member when they would disparage anyone who complained about terms they found offensive?

"Member when they considered the mere questioning of a social label as an attempt to vilify language, and the "innocents" who used it?

We knew their stance was hypocritical bullshit then.

Now, we have proof.

To be crystal clear: most haters of political correctness care nothing about the government or corporate involvement they pretend concerns them.

They only care about PC having a role in not allowing them to be openly racist without consequences of any sort, or not preserving the racist past they cling to.

Deplorables, before 2016: Political correctness is ruining our country! They're just words. You liberals are the ones giving them the power to be negative, not us.

Deplorables, after 2016: Stop saying "deplorable". It's not accurate, and a harmful generalization. You should be careful with language, and use correct terms.

A lot of the arguments against Tubman being on the $20 sound like political correctness.

Welcome to the "dark side", hypocrites.

"OK Boomer"

One of the greatest tropes in history. Of course, most of the Boomers that I know are voting Democrat.
