Peterson's 12 Rules For Life, have you heard of this?

Pretty sure we've already been down every single road on these questions.  

I don't think that you're particularly adept at picking out the difference between nutballs, rightwing propaganda, and social justice issues.

You look to the first to reenforce the second as an argument against the third.  Your idea of extremism in social justice is a slow moving trainwreck of white anxiety, worried that the once oppressed will attempt to become oppressors, worried that people will think that you're a racist for being white, worried that your business will suffer, somehow. 

This is certainly what rightwing trash would have people believe..because it helps them to delay the moment when they can no longer set people against each other as a distraction from their incessant grift.

My idea of extremism is nothing of the sort. I will tell you exactly what I think it is, then you will inevitably pretend I never said it, make some snide remarks about my racial background, and proceed with sniffing your own farts.

My idea of PC extremism is that it attempts to demonize any open discussion about certain issues with ad hominems and hysterical memes. At this point in the thread, I'm willing to take the way you personally express yourself, and the many logical fallacies by which you try to manipulate the discussion, and even the narrative around the nature of discussions, as an expression of that particularly distasteful brand of extremism.

I've laid out my positions on various subjects, many of which you will if there's any honesty in you at all identify as left-of-center. That I'm not willing to frame those subjects in the type of rhetoric you prefer, you take as either a deliberate association with the alt-right, or as an unknowing and weak-minded submission to brain-washing. You cannot understand that a person can hold left-of-center politics, and not want to frame it in a collection of demographic stereotypes and of fart-sniffing memes.

You take PC Leftism not as a collection of principles by which to live, and by which you intend to live a good life. You've adopted it as a kind of religion-- and your hysteria when confronted with actual facts and original ideas are the kind of response that one would expect of a religious ideologue accusing another of heresy, rather than of an intellectual attempting to persuade, through logic and the revelation of facts and evidence.

And that, in a nutshell, is my view of PC Leftism-- it is not a political or philosophical position at all, but rather a dogmatic collection of memes which must be accepted wholesale and with rabid expression of complete adherence: "Either you are with us in all regards, 100%, or you are an alt-right nutjob."
