Political Correctness is killing the Internet and Political Discourse will save it.

in #politics6 years ago

This blog is more of a continuation of my last blog which was about the free speech crisis that were currently witnessing at this moment. That being said political correctness is right now killing the ability to speak up about certain taboo topics that the far-left don’t want to be discussed. Political correctness is stifling public discourse and society is not better for it. This could not be better shown in the recent attacks on right wing conservatives like Candice Owens and Rand Paul by far-left communists Anti-fa supporters. In order to silence them the far-left have engaged in physical violence and intimidation in order to silence them. Now the communist left have now gone back to their tried and true method deplatforming and destroying people’s ability to make ends meat.
Deplatforming and engaging in lynch mobs towards conservative’s physical and economic welfare will only serve to strengthen the resolve of the right and scare away the middle of the political spectrum because they hate these tactics that are being used by the far-left. When you lose the ability to speak your mind without fear of losing your lively-hood and physical well being you will only turn those people who have different perspectives than you to the dark web and they will become more hardened and even more radical. This is why censorship is bad is because it will eventually lead to violence in which I believe none of us wants. The ability to speak freely allows people to sort out their differences and air out their problems in a civil and public square. Currently right now a bunch of bourgeois left-wing globalists and technocrats are attempting to silence those who are a threat to their power and what their misconstrued narratives.
What they failed to realize is that by censoring people like Alex Jones who I find a tad crazy and don’t take all that seriously that their making him more popular via the Streisand effect. He’s not only gained in more popularity he’s also gained more in credibility because by mass censoring him in the span of a day it lends credence to his conspiracy that there is attempt to silence views that are not progressive. We should have platforms like Minds and Bitchute that support political discourse rather than political correctness not only because it’s a profitable business model but also because it will create a healthier society to live in. We need to the ability to have civil disagreement without fear of being shunned and having our lives destroyed by hate mobs from the left or right. Lastly we should have the ability to be human and say wrong and stupid things and not have fear being kicked out of the public square if not I fear the political climate in the future.
