Encouraged by partisan hacks like the good doctor pete.

Well, let's see.  I've met those particular people, and a fair % of the people I've worked with in Korea have been among them.  There could be something about teaching in Korea that draws certain elements.
IDK, maybe.  I have no idea what it's like in Korea.  I can only note that when you tell me what the pc left is it doesn't resemble anything recognizable as the pc left..even if it does resemble the worst fears of right leaning agitprop.  It makes me think that huge swathes of people are confusing assholism for leftism...or more specifically for social justice, equality, egalitarianism.  Or that..perish the thought, they're operating on bad info.

Quote:But then I see your pretty snide ironic comments about white men in this thread, and Tiz' full-on hostile ones.  I see the kind of comments that pop up in various sites.  Okay-- the internet, the entire internet, may draw certain elements, or draw certain behaviors from people.  That's not a small sample size at all, but it is such a narrow context that it still might lead to an understanding.

But I have some pretty entertaining evidence that I'm not the only person who's aware of the unreasonable nature of the PC crowd:

I sure we've been down this road before..but beyond the strangeness of getting your information about political ideologies from south park, an off the wall parody...those guys are openly right wing.  

I already know that people like you and the creators of south park believe this sort of thing....I'm wondering why.  I'm right here.  I'm the marxist hiding in the closet culture warring people(allegedly).  Why is all of this foreign to me?

I asked you a whole raft of questions about how you saw the pc left, why you think they blame white men for the things you mentioned.  I don't, I could never take such a suggestion seriously...but you seriously think that the left does.  Something is amiss.  

A brand new example presents itself.  Do you think I make snide remarks -about you and your comments- because of some belief I have about white men?  Is it one of those..an attack on one of us, is an attack on all of us..sort of deals?

Show of hands other white men..does anyone else feel ethnically anxious and threatened by my remarks to Benny? Wink
