Political Correctness
RE: Political Correctness
Political Correctness is just an excuse that can be used by both sides.

People call others out for being Politically Correct when they try to keep the conversation civil, people will call people expressing their opinion in a blunt format and imply that they aren't being Politically Correct enough because of the negative connotations and bluntness associated with what they said.

It's all just a jumbled mess of excuses to call somebody out for doing something you don't approve of. And it's all bullshit. I've been called out for being politically correct simply for acting in the least bit more "moral" than the other person, to which I literally had to look up the definition of politically correct subsequently because I couldn't understand how it applied to me. That's when I realized how little weight the two words held. How about call it what it is, stop hiding under "Politically Correct" as a scapegoat for calling someone either a dickhead, or a self-righteous prick.

I'm not afraid to be called politically correct, and neither should anyone else. It's an excuse to avoid telling the person what you really think, for both spectrum's. People act like because someone chooses to give an opinion that down casts their negative opinion on an already troublesome subject by just a fraction, that all the sudden they are campaigning to shut down their right to freedom of speech, "What? You want to tell me you disagree with me saying all Muslims are the same? Fuck you. What are you, trying to be politically correct?". 

That's a bit of an exaggerated example but the point is, who the fuck cares. It's just an empty phrase used to avoid sharing your actual thoughts. It's this anxiousness and trembling suspicion that anyone disagreeing with the extremity of someone's opinion is impeding on their freedom of speech, or was sitting in their room scared at night feeling obligated like an army sergeant to fulfill their duty of not expressing their opinion in the ut-most extremity and blunt format.

Move the fuck on, tell them what you really think, don't chuck this empty label that doesn't even remotely apply at them like it's a perfect dead-on-description.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
