View original postThe radical PC we see today has become an oppressive censorship tool that is used by the liberal elitist (mostly faux intellectuals) in the media and universities to kill ant ideas that don't match their agenda. Basically identity politics has become the most powerful tool in modern American politics and the most unPC thing in the world is for white men to think they can play that game as well. If you a straight white male you are not allowed to have independent opinion on the following issues.
Not allowed by who, exactly? How much power do those people who aren't allowing you to have an opinion actually have over you?
View original postEven issue these days is being seen through the lens of race and gender and since white males are allowed to leave the planation on those issues they are effectively being shut of the political discourse. Of course the worst thing you can do is mention that any of these things are true because then you are just a privileged white guy complaining that his right to oppress is being taken away and you
Going to have to point out here that getting flak or even boycotts because of your non-PC opinions doesn't actually prevent you from speaking your mind. And that white males are still dominant nationally in most fields you consider, with few exceptions. So probably the issue isn't so much with the white male-ness as such.
Like I said before, that's not to say I don't appreciate how frustrating this must feel, and how attractive it becomes to stick it to the PC system. But how much does this really affect people at the end of the day? Does it even begin to compare to the situation of most minorities until, well, extremely recently in some places, who had to put up with the same and worse, but on top of that also real discrimination that did very much hurt their pocketbooks, their careers, their family life?
And, more relevantly to my post above, is it really more important than your job, your healthcare, your safety, your clean air?

This will get much worse before it get better as the thought police on the left are determined to double on this technique. Look how offended everyone got the Trump correctly pointed out that the violence was two sided in Charlottesville. Only and low functioning moron would believe that people showing up at political protest carrying clubs, guns and pepper spray hold no responsibility for the violence that ensued but it appears that being low functioning morons is the only political correct response in this because nothing makes people stupid like word Nazi.
I don't say that it's not justified to push back for your right to a non-PC opinion - I'm certainly annoyed enough at times about people on the left who try to shout everyone else down. Just pointing out it doesn't really make a lot of sense to rank it among your top priorities. What's that American saying again - sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me? It's not just spoiled liberal college kids who should remember that.
