Compulsion Without a Core: A look at what’s behind Political Correctness

The author quotes Popper's paradox of tolerance, but then seems to either draw the wrong conclusion—or else rejects Popper's conclusion without argument or even without acknowledging that they are rejecting it:

> Tolerance runs wild when taken as it’s own rule. Tolerance cannot fight intolerance by becoming intolerant, for then it is no longer a virtue, but the vice it set out to destroy.

Which just reads a bit weird coming right after quoting Popper.

I also have a disagreement with the author's conclusion:

> And in the process, will we step on toes? Naturally! But we’re trying to do good, not just avoid sin.

The author may honestly be trying to do good—nothing they wrote makes me think otherwise. But it's also clear that many out there that we interact with are not trying to do good—and we need to fix a way to interact with others that acknowledges that fact. Just assuming everyone is trying to do good falls apart because not everyone is trying to do good.

The tide is turning and it’s becoming more trendy to be anti-PC.
