This very thread is evidence to contrary. Political correctness has become a chronic mental disease. I am not infected and thats how I fulfill my responsibility to myself and the society around as well.
YOU'RE FIRED!

Guilt is relative and arbitrary just like ethics and moral standards. Although it is universal itsnt something objectively valid for all at every situation. If you look closely ideologic manipulation is a powerfull tool for control of people and emotions like fear, guilt, inferiority, self-doubt etc. are its means of control. Liberated individual doesnt feel guilt but looks with mental clarity at the problem and does the needful according to his highest moral and psychological standards.

So Kneeling for the National Anthem is consider as "Political correctness"
While standing for the National Anthem is consider as "Not Politically correct"
So this is what its like in Trumpland
Ah, you mean the overplayed race card, then bravo because the Right never uses the race card and when they do its only in accordance to facts and not in a dirty underhanded manner.
That probably why we can get a real debate on race issues, along with healthcare issues, bank bailout issues, climate change issues, invading countries issues, etc

Nope. Kneeling for the anthem is mostly being a jerk and standing is way of showing respect to the highest ideals ones country represents.
To be clear I personaly dont have much against the kneelig I value freedom of speech too much for that to bother me. I just think its very suboptimal way for betterment of any problem.

Conclusion: you're a left winger.
Kneeling for the national anthem is unpatriotic and disrespectful to the flag and you besmirch the brave soldier who died for your freedumbs.
Do you know about the phenomena of psychological projection?

No you are since me just by having and expressing personal opinion has resulted in you to percieve it and take it like an offense.
Otherwise your conclusion couldnt be what it is based on those quotes.
Again I may view someones actions as childlish or selfserving but I am far from to impose any ideological boundaries on them through PC which is the gist of my problem with the present so-called left and which you somewhat completely managed to miss.

as hypocrisy.
Your opinion couldn't offend me if it's life depended on it. But thanks for illustrating the thought process when someone confronts you with the bleeding obvious
I dont think we are getting anywhere. Where exactly did I transgress the line to be mixed up with the intolerant left? Do I have to cheer up every act of stupidity not to be viewed as a racist and bigot? See what I mean?as hypocrisy.

Common ground \o/
Well, as a Trump fanboy you have plenty of experience cheering acts of stupidity.
And another defense mechanism is fired up I see. When confronted with a counter argument, nail yourself to a cross lamenting you're being viewed as a racist and bigot. Even though at no point I accused you of being one.
To clarify I am not talking all along about the protest itself but about its form. If that makes me intolerant in any way then I guess I will have to live with that...

It's so in your face obvious that it boggles the mind.
Oh for frogs sake. You commented earlier that we were getting nowhere. Indeed we aren't. If your only counter to anything I say is: oh so I'm a racist and a bigot now? or: Oh, so now I'm intolerant? That is not what I'm accusing you off. Not a racist, not a bigot, not intolerant. A hypocrite. You criticise the way others excercise their free speech, but whine about some mythical entity called "the left" criticises other people's free speech. You whine about political correctness but fail to see that the criticism towards taking a knee during the national anthem is that it's not politically correct. Because you dress it up as: "Kneeling for the anthem is mostly being a jerk and standing is way of showing respect to the highest ideals ones country represents". And it's a load of bollocks.
What you have to live with is your inability to read and address points that are being made, and instead default in a fantasy position of: Oh noes, you are attacking me because I am speeching free!
Clearly you mixed up two discussions together. One was about nature of the left and the other concerned taking a knee during national anthem. I didnt bother to correct friendlyfire on that and you took some friendly fire following in lines of friendlyfire. I hope that clarify things a bit for you.

Yeah, I needed clarification on that one. That was the issue. That made you think I called you an intolerant bigot racist.
You implied I am a hypocrite. I still fail to see how you came to that conclusion.

I know. That would take reading.
Hang on, I'll see if I can find a youtube to explain it to you
Fair enough....for now.I know. That would take reading.

Moderator Action: I do believe that we already warned people multiple times about making blanket judgements about The Left or The Right. That should stop right now.

I'm not offended. I think it's hilarious, and I think you guys should do more of this. This is the kind of thing that pushes people to the right.
