Political Correctness

[Thumpalumpacus]

See, my problem isn't that we should treat people nicely.  My problem is the falsehood and condescending bullshit by which fake people try to pad their non-existent personalities.  

Basically, we live in a whole culture of college guys pretending to be super-feminist because they hope they'll finally get laid.  It's obvious, cheap, and disgusting.

Here's a hint: if you grew up in white suburbia, and have never met a black person, except that 1 friend that everyone claims, you should not bother wearing Black Panther t-shirts when you visit your favorite Starbuck's.  Nobody cares.

It's called virtue signalling, like people who plaster their cars with bumper stickers like "Free Tibet." For Pete's sake what can a hipster urbanite actually do to 'free Tibet'? Exactly zero. People like that think simply having the right opinion is a sign of virtue. And they want everyone to know what a good person they are because they care, they really really care. It makes them feel good about themselves, without doing a lick, and that's all that actually matters to them.

As an aside, about ten years ago, living in California, I was walking once down to the beach when I came across a Peugeot on which the rear fender, deck, and part of the rear window were plastered in environmentalist/Greenpeace stickers about saving whales and condors, global warming, the whole nine yards.

Tucked into the lower right corner, however was a red tag: a temporary registration allowing the owner to operate the vehicle even though it had failed its emissions-testing.
