Might it be the case that a more visceral anti-colonial resentment in se asia..combined with right wing agit prop and parody, and legitimized by psuedo intellectuals trading on irrelevant qualifications....has led to your current understanding of the pc left?
Do you know something about Korea, now, or the Asian views on colonialism? Do you know something about my relationship with Asian culture, other than that I live in Korea? And, most importantly, WHY do you keep trying to dig into my personality in order to explain my positions, when I'm explicitly stating my reason for holding them?

Quote:I'm telling you in no uncertain terms what the PC left is. It is those who define the world in terms of victimhood and villainy, based on broad demographics rather than individual lives. Now, we can debate whether things SHOULD be framed in that way. I'd argue that yes, in fact we do need some of that. I would, for example, offer scholarships and as much financial and social support for the dwindling native population, and that this support is so important I'd blanket the entire demographic with it, whether individuals really need the assistance or not.You're presenting a caricature of the pc left common to right wing talking heads of the most dickish order, not telling me in no uncertain terms what it is. Are you aware of that?
Quote:However, I'd argue that PC memes, collectively, serve to enable and justify poor behavior. Now, I can't say that the people I've personally had to deal with represent the PC left; I can, however, say that they were definitely drawing strength from the PC left in dodging their personal responsibilities.Endlessly creative assholes, as we've discussed..but I never got an answer as to how you went from there to your description of why you had the anxieties and insecurities you do..which you volunteered as information..or how you got from those people to how the pc left was morally weak.
Quote:My perception is that there's probably a great deal of that-- I suspect it is nearly all-pervasive. People tend not to take responsibility for their own shortcomings, and the PC meme-set is such a convenient ready-made narrative that I would be surprised if every failed artist or musician, every unemployed asshole with a philosophy degree, every black person who grew up in a perfectly decent neighborhood but didn't study hard enough to succeed in college-- I would be very surprised if those people DIDN'T spin this ready-made complaint about demographic oppression.Add your suspicions to your anxieties and insecurities.

What's morally weak..about that? Where..in that....is the white man being blamed for the common cold? Where..in that...are -you- being victimized?
