Does anyone else see this Anti-PC movement as being possibly dangerous?

Question

Here's a thing that gets me. I think some people are going in a dangerous direction, in regards to attacking political correctness in the country. OK, yes political correctness is related to certain things, in the country. Like

a)calling anyone who supports border control "racist" (though unlike many "patriots", I am a caring human being who cares for some kind of solution)

b) certain issues regarding homosexuality (though, "natural" or not, it's still not really an important issue, with everything we have going on today, except for some religious people)

c) double standards for acceptance of anti-white racism

d) "Merry Christmas" thing being blown way out of proportion.

BUT, all that having been said, not being able to shove the Christian faith down everyone else's throat is NOT an issue of political correctness. It's an issue of not everyone being Christian. For example, people complaining about taking prayer out of school. This is not a "PC" issue. Unlike the Merry Christmas thing, where noone is being forced to celebrate Christmas or Christianity and people are still allowed to celebrate their own holidays, public prayer would be endorsing the notion of special rights for one particular faith.


There are some people don't know the difference between attacking political correctness and just being an *** who wants special treatment, it seems like. That could be dangerous, if the "anti-PC" movement takes a turn in the wrong direction. Who knows? Next, we may be passing laws based on PERSONAL religious morals that not everyone shares. Dangerous path. You don't see Muslims trying to pass laws to ban pork, do you? No, they just tell their own children not to eat it. Because they don't have the majority privilege, in the US, to disrespect other beliefs.

Does anyone else think there is a HUGE difference between attacking political correctness and being a rude selfish asshole? And that this anti-PC movement could be dangerous?

Answer 1

"That which is morally wrong can never be politically correct."

Answer 2

I don't think there is any legislation against political correctness, maybe I'm wrong, but I don't know of any. It's just that PC is silly. It's a part of the broader movement of multiculturalism, where group rights are supersede individual rights, which is wrong. It is a movement that legitimizes the victim mentality. It is about feeling good, rather than doing the right thing. Example, the student in England that didn't want to participate with a group of Asian students, because they weren't speaking English. How is she supposed participate when she doesn't understand the language? But she got in trouble, because she wasn't sensitive. She isn't there to be sensitive, but to learn. And they took her to police station. I'll try to find a link to the story.

Point is there seems to be laws for PC and multiculturalism, not against it.

Answer 3

The PC movement has gone so far over the edge that some level ov over reaction against it is inevitable. You are right that it may become dangerous, but form my perspective, it is far less dangerous than the PC gang.

Answer 4

The human race did fine for 1000's of years. Now all of a sudden we have all these unnatural rules we are supposed to go by. What do you think of the state of society today?

Answer 5

I think you may be right...I hate some of the levels of pc'ness that I experience, However...I do not want to revert back to completely insensitive people...It seems like we have lost our sensabilities......

Answer 6

If we lose the computer, we lose knowledge. It's about all I can say. The computer provides us the internet and if its banned we would basically have to stick to textbooks again. That would suck.
