You act like PC is the polar opposite of bigotry. You don't have to have fucking thought police to endorse, and enforce, a reasonable standard of goodwill and protection for all citizens.
When mostly-white hipster SJWs spend all their time trying to protect the sensibilities of black people, handicapped people, Tibetans, etc., what does this really imply? "I, a 20-year old, never-once-employed poet with a $3000 computer and a $12 Starbucks coffee, need to bring under my umbrella of protection all the weak groups: handicapped people, black people, and Tibetans." But this generation-zero loser is NOT a protector, or a hero, or a warrior, and his "help" benefits nobody. He's just a punk with a lot to say and nothing important to say it about.
PC is really just weak-minded, unaccomplished people trying to validate their pointless existence by pretending to care about a "cause."
It's passive aggression, and it's social masturbation.
That's basically what I was trying to say summed up in one post.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
