> As an outsider it feels like young people in America are getting their values from some kind of cult of political correctness. It seems to be doing the same thing that the religious right used to do at one point in time. The old censorious approach to a new set of blasphemous topics has become the norm.
> What seems obviously broken is the fact that ideals like free speech, free association, due process, etc. have taken a backseat to some new rules like inclusivity, hyper sensitivity and hyper empathy.
"As an insider" it seems like this as well. Not everyone in America falls so far on either side that we can't see this.
- darkpuma 8y agoI don't think fareesh meant to imply only non-Americans can perceive the situation as they do. I think fareesh was merely providing context for their perception.
