'True liberals are willing to accept and respect behaviour and opinions different to their own'. Try telling that to those oh so incorrect PC correct - a law unto themselves and certainly not representative of true liberals.

As always, I think that both the extreme sides of the opinion are idiots. "Political correctness" won't in of itself be the end of us all, but we need strong borders and to not tolerate anti-Western viewpoints.

I dont know where the PC and liberalism/lefty match-up came from. Some of the most PC things I've encountered are from more conservative/righty mindsets.

Being accepting of everybodys opinions all the time is a nice fantasy, but I can imagine I can say something to anybody from any political persuasion that will deeply piss them off. Because nobody actually wants an entirely PC world, and nobody actually wants an entirely freedom of speech world, the common-sense boundaries that are in place right now are sensible to most people..

discussing the people who overstep the boundary, and labelling them reflective of all people from a same group is dumb.

Everyone's trying to be politically correct nowadays and it's ruined the society, if you don't believe in the ideology spread by extreme leftie liberal SJWs you're gonna be vilified and called a bigot.

Very true Dominic. And of course those very same people are the ones who do their best to undermine any criticism of PC and SJWs and shut down those who openly criticise.
