said they did not have to be pc and they were proud of it, declaring they got to be racist, sexist and homophobic, though would not own that out loud if told.

internet has allowed a lot of people to connect in their validation of prejudices.

we see it here. we see people declare they will NOT be pc. that they have freedom of speech to be as offensive as they choose. and interesting side. they also demand that with their freedom of speech, it seems to mean no one is allowed to call them out on their racism, sexism and homophobia. i guess repressing others freedom of speech while demanding theirs to be bigot is a full win for them.

and they have many support and cheer them on

emboldens. and that is the backlash and how progression takes huge steps backwards. filtering and rippling thru out our society in so many ways.
