PC-ness is (presently) a phenomenon of the Left. That might switch one day, but today, that's how it is.

It's the all the right-leaners that are arguing in favour of free speech. And that's the irony of it, because the correct term for an advocate of free speech is "classical liberal." Today, that means "conservative."

yep, but when the majority of america become Chatholic/Muslim/etc.........the so called "liberal" "conservatives" (the so called are actually Facists BTW) - will cry murder and call to remove free speach the day Prot/Evangelical christiomdome becomes a minority.

For the record i value both Liberalism and Conservativism (the true forms of - which i don't see of either now) - though more liberal than convervative in the classical sence - not either in the modern form of.

vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 7:08 pm That's not the same thing as saying all 'lefties' are PC!

I said no such thing, of course. The PC'ers are a subset of the Left; the Left isn't a subset of the PC.

correct

Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Sun Jan 12, 2020 7:11 pm Still, it's an interesting question why the Left is content to remain the incubator for PC-ness. One would wish they would disassociate themselves from political correctness...but they don't seem to.

you would think so,but sadly i don't see i much.

Obama was of my mindset - classical liberal, not a "progressive", but he failed of other reasons, caving in to power of wallstreet, and the "can;t we just compromise" with a republican senate that had no interest nor intent to comprimise,

and so we got 6 yrs of a lame duck prez that got nothing done (and killed a few american - without trial - aliki(sp)- and his 15? yr old son/a few others too) - via dronze(sp) - i have serious prob with due to privilages of american citizenship should offer, and no trial/etc.

rule 303 is the thugs rule (reference to that great move Breaker Morant)

What a stupid comment. I was the one who pointed out to him (and have done so repeatedly) that 'left' and 'PC' are not the same thing.

Yes, you spoke out against something he did not say. Brilliant Brit Abdicates Brain!

He never uses the term PC, he always just says 'leftists'. You two are clearly as stupid as one another. No wonder you give each other mutual back-pats.

give me a brake, we know IC's mindset and views, i think he is a moderate liberal myself.

the term. "leftist" today = "progressive" = Politically Correct.

its that simple.

so via today's re-mapping of the terms that means though i am left of center Liberal I'm a "Dino" - Democrat in name only. due to my rejection of PC it matters not to "them" that i am a liberal, i do not affirm their PC mentality, so i am lumped into the fascist trumpian reichbulcian camp.

just as those of the "reich" say the same of those that were formerly Repulcans (25-precent have lest their pary since Trump and are now registered independents) defame them.

i personally wecome those - they were shocked by Trump's actions - and value Rule of Law over cult of personality, and so i welcome them as brethern.

do you?

It's wrong, it's lazy, and it's illiterate and I refuse to pander to yank ignorance.
