That sure sounds like sarcasm, but who can tell these days!

Sounds like they're full of… something…

That sounds great… but someone's gotta be chained to Trump (and also Bannon). I can't imagine that ending well.

Good points. I'm really enjoying this sub-thread. Thanks to you both for making me reconsider how I make and respond to arguments.

I don't really. But I am trying to understand your point of view. People often have an easier time explaining why things bother them in terms of their lives.

I'll assume you were sincere because I was. That said, you didn't identify one example of PC that affects you. Let's drop the regularly requirement if that's an impediment. I am a professional minority living in the Midwest with many white friends. I genuinely don't know what you mean.

Kinky!

I agree. To call anyone anything without evidence is supremely irresponsible. To call Trump "a plausible candidate for the Presidency" is really irresponsible. These things happen.

Also:

Counter-point: Racism is called out more now simply because it's more possible to call it out without enormous risk and consequence.

Can you explain the worst examples of PC/SJ you deal with regularly? Because, I just don't know where all the outrage is coming from.

Umm… I gotta ask… how do you make the other half?

Her?

@gosefacekillah:disqus Psst… N.B. You missed the "bro".

Good points. On Trump, sigh, that's a depressing thing. So, he's a crazy narcissistic moron who is impervious to criticism, and thus we can't even use his character to question/challenge the positions he so tenuously holds?

Bingo. Chaplin probably could have made a spoof on Churchill to balance out the Great Dictator, but, you know, maybe not equivalent.

Hmm… *researches every eye gouge victim since 1928 and files a class action lawsuit*

Based on Joshua Johnson's OneA on NPR, I think one sounds like someone desperate to get support all around while losing any credibility as a speaker.

Agree to that.

I agree. And maybe you're exposing a tension between hypocrisy and policy - maybe generally hypocrisy cannot undermine the validity of an assertion about morality, but it might provide facts that undermine the pragmatic value of a policy. What do you think?
