So, what? No true pc leftist? They aren’t being PC because they’re also mean and hypocritical? Not sure what to tell you here, every ideology has it’s extremists. I’d say they constitute what a pc extremist would be.

I’d say it’s a comment on the inefficacy of it, or perhaps a comment on humanity if you think about it. Maybe it’s a nice ideal on paper, what with everyone being respectful and getting along inclusively, but does policing language and nitpicking to the bare bones actually work? Will it bring about the change you (in general) would like to see? I doubt it.
I’m not saying do nothing, but you asked the question.
Quote:That's one of the things I find so amusing about the anti pc crowd...at least the leftist and "centrist" branches. They don't actually disagree.....but boy do they have endless anxious grievances about being "accidentally" identified as an asshole. The right anti pc has anxious grievances too...but they also wear their asshole shit on their sleeves, so there's that.
Again, nice thoughts vs reality. I don’t like certain things any more than you do. I just happen to think more of the same to the people who aren’t terrible shit stains isn’t a good answer.
