I say this as a left-leaning person, I think Liberals do have a tendency to tear anybody down at the slightest whiff of even potential unintended non-political correctness. “Oh, you misused the terms ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ in the point you were trying to make?” or “You’re attempting to say anything mildly critical about women or minorities?” or even just people having legitimate misunderstandings about issues will cause them to get accused of some flavor of -ism. Granted, Conservatives seem to go out of their way to be blatantly ignorant fucktards, but I think even fellow Liberals and middle-of-the-roaders aren’t spared from this treatment.
I really don't understand what Liberal means in an American context. I'm a certified anarchist myself, hang out with left leaning folks from all walks of life, some very moderate, some more radical than I am and I never heard these types of comments and attacks. I sincerely don't get it. Is it some kind of Twitter trend I'm too lemming to understand? Are America and Europe so different? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for calling out racists and sexists, but I don't think I've seen those terms being applied to people for frivolous or far fetched reasons.
Some people refuse to accept the possibility they might be somewhat prejudice. As a result they excuse themselves and any contradiction to their narrative is an "attack."
Could you link me to one such example if you can think of one ? I'm curious.
This is anecdotal and based on my own experiences with my family. For example, I bring to their attention trumps racist rhetoric. They argue its not racist and the all the things he does and says is perfectly normal and how dare I "baselessly accuse them of supporting a racist."
