The radicalization of social values
    #21876253 - 06/30/15 12:49 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Any dissent what so ever to progressive social values now puts you in the same light as KKK members and neo-nazis.  How the fuck did this happen and why?  I thought progressive social values were about equality and everyone having the right to share their feelings.  Things have become so socially extreme you either HAVE to be on one of two sides...  Publicly announcing you support gay rights or your a bigot.

I don't go out and publicly attack people who have different views then me.  It seems as though things have gotten so liberal they have past moderate and become extreme views.  No body can be a moderate anything.  What gives?

I have no problem with people doing what ever they want with no direct harm to other people, but at the same time I find it VERY uncomfortable that social issues have become so extreme that if i'm not attending parades or endorsing an issue i'm a pariah.

Opinions?  Comments?

Yeah, it's a huge problem, and happens on both ends of the spectrum. Most people have political feelings that don't align with either side, yet both sides are now so extreme that unless you agree with absolutely 100% of everything they say you're some kind of monster.

Apparently you're not supposed to think for yourself anymore.

I share your distaste for this movement. I'm from Australia but spent five years at university in America. Two at Texas Tech, in conservative west Texas, and two and a half at UCLA in Liberal Southern California, and oh man, what a difference of social and political values. I was disgusted by the views that most west Texans expressed, but in retrospect, I might have actually preferred my time spent there over LA (socially). In Southern California (and apparently lots of other places by the sound of things) there is this gigantic "It's cool to be politically correct" movement. Among the youth, popularity is now apparently determined by how progressive you can convince everybody you are. It is actually a valued practice now to prioritize political correctness, over actual correctness. It's a very annoying movement, and is making good, honest, productive discourse rarer and more difficult.

It's like porridge. Not too liberal, and not too conservative, but juuust right. As long as you're still griping about something you've got it.
