I posted that before reading the thread. Umm. You're literally protesting freedom of speech Brillo. Call me out as and when I do it, but you and a few others are doing it here... so.. stop being so pc (in this thread, right now)... (I mean, or carry on idc, it's been a pretty fun read).

The PC Lefties have been the ones that started this attempted control of free speech. Anything else is reacting to that and giving them a dose of their own medicine. Trump has every right to come here but when they attempt to stop him with such pathetic tactics they demonstrate without doubt their opposition to free speech when it is at odds with their own views.

So they can protest against free speech in a democratic society all they like but it will achieve nothing but expose them as a bunch of foot stampers determined to get their way. They won’t of course. Apart from anything else most are sick to death of them now and they just undermine their cause even more.

I agree it has been a fun read in more ways than one!

Makes no sense, but cba to explain why.

You've protested freedom of speech. It's made you look super pc and snowflakey. Your second paragraph literally describes you in this thread.

Try all you like to turn it on me. Everyone knows who started the attacks on free speech.

Everyone knows who invented the made up buzzwords and instigated the propaganda.

Answer me this... why are they ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS proposals of good, progressive, positive or beneficial that these calls of PC and snowflake are used a a reaction to?

Think hard, I can't think of one, any positive reaction or suggestion would be virtue signalling, which is effectively speaking your mind in a fair, rational and unbiased manner.

So if being un pc is so great why does it only advocate things that are in a civilised society so damaging to so many already marginalised groups?

The buzzwords clearly came about as a reaction to PC attempting to dictate how we should all think and act on a number of subjects and shut down any and all debate. Then when they get their way they push some more and some more - not happy until they have got their way across the board. Try to control people and they tend to respond in an understandably negative way.

In a civilised society you don’t undermine the rights of one group to accommodate another. Tell me this if PC is so righteous why is there so much discord and opposition to it in every Western country. Calling them all racists and bigots is far too simplistic and just demonstrates not only an inability to listen to alternative views but a desire to simply shut them up and force them to tow the line. Doesn’t sound very civilised to me.
