"Civil rights isn't politics", so, speech against civil rights isn't politically incorrect.
(there's also definitely PC/P!C speech, but AFAIK that's not what's getting banned).
- gotoeleven 6y agoThats a great trick just label anything you don't want debated a "right."
- birdyrooster 6y agoTo your point, rights only exist if people in society uphold them for you. There isn't anything magical about calling something a right. Speech can be both politically incorrect and incite flamewars or violence. At some point, public health and safety is the concern beyond politics. I think we want politically incorrect speech to have a space on Twitter so that it can be publicly challenged but it should stop short of encouraging violence like we saw in Charlottesville.
- RangerScience 6y agoThanks, learned from the best - the Declaration of Independence. /snark In all seriousness, what do you view as debatable about civil rights?
