I wonder what everyone thinks of some of the new leftist SJW culture that has been arising. I notice it a lot since I attend high school and probably will notice it even further during college. But sometimes I genuinely feel like if you support Trump, then you automatically are shamed and shut down. I see it happen everyday. I am NOT a trump supporter in any shape or form. I think he is unqualified, makes poor decisions, and ultimately is not well educated enough to be a successful president. I am willing to discuss why I think so and if you disagree then that is awesome! But I keep running into more and more people who simply disrespect someone if they figure out that they are republican or support Trump. I do support capitalism and am mostly pro-life (I say mostly because they are a multitude of special situations where it should be up to the mother). But I also believe in separation of church and state (I’m an agnostic), gay rights, and keeping the environment a top priority.
I ultimately fear that PC culture is starting to shut down discussion and plagues debates with personal attacks of people being a racist, bigot or fascist.
All in all, does ANYONE at all here ever feel like it is becoming more and more unacceptable to take certain views and express your opinion in fear of being named a racist, or a bigot? (which is happening, just look at the Berkley protests or any of my highschool classrooms). I would say that I probably align myself most with the views that Gavin Mcinnes and Dave Rubin on this new issue. The final video below really sums up the gist of what I’m saying: (Dave Rubin on why he “Left the left”)
I watched the video and I feel as Mr. Rubin does. Being a “free thinker” is tantamount to being a criminal these days. When you are expected to change everything that defines you just to fit in, maybe it is time to go.
Thank you ender, you’ve given me alot to think about moving forward.
