Quote:No, not end of discussion. You are free to continue. So your answer at all times is that a person must stay and listen to you if they disagree. I don't agree that staying in your own personal echo chamber is a good thing, but if people don't want to hear your argument, they haven't censored you. They have introduced into your life what unpopular opinions have forever encountered: pushback. You don't get to say that anyone who says they don't want to hear you is censoring you.
Yes, end of discussion if you've been barred from speaking at a public venue where many people want to hear you. PC is not about manners its about control. It's about using labels and slurs to insist that no one else should get to hear what you have deemed as incorrect thinking. You know, censorship.
Like Dawkins being dropped from a science conference for an "inappropriate" re tweet of a joke. He offended someone so barring him from a science conference is just being polite. It's certainly not censorship.
You can fool yourself all you want that PC is just good manners. It's not. It's censorship and it's an insidious form of censorship when otherwise intelligent people start to make excuses for it.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
