Politically Toxic
November 18, 2016 at 9:08 pm
I agree politically correctness is out of hand at times.
However... Just because an idea has been deemed politically incorrect by the politically correct does not make an idea a good idea when a the politically incorrect reject political correctness.
Some ideas are simply politically/ socially/ and personally toxic.

It all depends on what you call PC. I consider many PC appeals to be a crock of shit. Better for an asshole to let it all out than to create a festering social wound turning gangrenous at a later time.

"Festering social wound" caused by toxic ideas ?

Check out this analyzation of South Park's season 19, which was all about PC. I know it's a little long, but it's worth it.

I kinda didn't absorb the full gestalt of season 19, and 20 is looking to not being really digestible to me either.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Wasn't the idea of PC to create a safe unoppressive environment for X by regulating speech? Not so much fighting the root cause?

Like putting a band aid over a festering wound. It covers it up, but at a later time you will have to face the consequences being that much worse than the original wound would have been if treated correctly.
I'd say, let them spew their hatred and deal with it accordingly instead of policing language. If people are able to fly their real colors, less innocent bystanders would fall for seemingly innocent rhetoric.
I am not advocating policing language. I am criticizing those with shitty ideas who feel vindicated when political correctness is criticized. A shitty idea is still a shitty idea.
