There are always two sides to a coin, politics is never black and white, there are always uncharted territories, different opinions that can be valid on both sides of the arguments. The minute a person shut himself out from the opinions from the other side, he or she is ignorant and dumb. Matured political views involve listening to both sides, respecting the other person’s view and trying to counter every point with facts, not by shouting racism, sexism, xenophobia, Islamophobia etc.

Political Correctness / Identity Politics causes the affected individuals to parrot about notions that they do not even understand the meaning of. Such as this washed-down Marxist view of ”equality”, which is really just an equality of outcome, which de facto nullifies equality of opportunity, and hence also eliminates meritocracy. These ideologies all serve the same purpose, to pit people against each other: children against their parents, wives against husbands, blacks vs whites, people against their very own nation, and even against their own same gender and/or race. The affected individuals also lose completely the ability to reason logically, and refute even the most blatant, evident, data that confirms their narrative to be completely wrong. This mental exercise of complete denial, and silently continuing to lie in order to conform to these bully-ideas, builds an individual who must use double standards and avoid the truth… else the very core of his being would be shattered.
