Left and right is kinda flawed I think when having this discussion, especially when we're discussing these things on the more extreme ends.

It doesn't matter which side it is anyway. Fascism is Fascism.

PC I actually think is evident on both sides, at least now, because it's been around long enough you now have people who don't really understand the politics of it (like I'm apparently too young to know some of this history). I think most people on both sides genuinely want to reform the West for the better, and that is the issue, because I think when it comes to pushing an idea we view PC as a sort of cultural tool--we equate it's use with "decency"... when really, you don't need to manipulate your words beyond meaning. You just may have to consider consequences of the things you say and do. That's why I feel self-censorship is one of the bigger obstacle(s), as it has allowed more extreme ideologies to dominate the communication about issues. And self-censorship is being conflated with decency and I think that's an issue across the board, not just in education.
