I don't support wealth redistribution. I support a system where wealth doesn't need to be redistributed in the first place. I also don't support the existence of states or even money. Instead, I support a system where people work according to their ability and get according to their needs.

So basically you support communism in which you have a little more choice what you are going to be. Not a very favourable opinion in the US probably, since its the capitalistic centre of the world. I like technology and concurrency in a free market so I strongly oppose to a communist system. The Soviet Union and eastern Germany have shown it doesn't work and deprived companies of innovation. If the wealth over the world or even the United States is equally spreaded quite a lot of people will become much poorer.

Communism has much more choice than capitalism. Capitalism forces people into jobs that they don't want in order to make a living wage, because if they don't they starve to death. Communism allows people to flourish because instead of spending a lot of time in depression over bills or hunger they can use their free time to express themselves.

There is no such thing as political correctness. It's called common decency. Plain and simple common decency. How we raise our children. How we expect our children to behave. I'm appaled that common decency all of a sudden is a bad thing called political correctness. What a sad world we're living in.

Completely agree. Although the fact that the Right needed 9/11 in order to get that crazy and the Left is just that crazy by default nowadays is a noticeable difference.

The right needed 9/11? No... the country became more nationalistic after 9/11.

The world has become a lot more PC since then though, the left now treats terrorism as negligable isolated incidents.

The whole "common decency" is bunk, employed by PC culture warriors to stifle criticism of their tactics.  Do you consider attacking or name-calling someone with a certain political view or religious faith an example of "common decency?"  Because that is exactly why there has been such a huge backlash against "PC culture"over the past several years... because it employs a different set of rules and standards for people based on their race / sex / orientation / religion and political views.

While people of minority ethnicities, faiths, and sexual orientations are part of the protected class status and basically off-limits to jokes and political criticism in PC culture, these same PC culture warriors have no problem criticising and mocking people for their views who fall under the white / Christian / heteronormative categories, or people who are members of a minority group but do not share the same group-think views as the PC culture warriors do (think "Uncle Tom").

Being against political correctness doesn't mean having carte blanche to say whatever you feel like whenever you want no matter how outrageous without consequences, it's simply being against social tactics employed by one group to weild power over and to stifle dissenting or opposing points of view over another group.  Today's PC culture is no different than yesterday's religious crusades against "herecy" and non-believers who don't subscribe to the religious orthodoxy of the day.

No, the left does not treat it as isolated incidents. Instead, the left doesn't act like all the problems began on 9/11 or that Muslims hatred of the United States is unjustified. Why wouldn't Muslims hate the United States when they're bombing 7 of their countries, support brutal dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and destroy all of their infrastructure through drones and arming multiple militias?

Poltical Correctness is a cancer from both sides.

It stifles debate as it is true we should be nicer to each other but then the same argument is used to shut down arguments you do not agree with.

That to me is why you say in 2016 two Americans who seemed like Separate nations.

Anyone who was a Hillary Supporter was the devil and vice Versa in the Hillary and Trump Camps.

Oh, I believe many followers of Islam simply don't like the western way of life. They don't just hate the US.

Its not like terrorist are fighting for peace to achieve some peace. This is jihad.

Yeah, and the United States has helped fund those people, by propping up Saudi Arabia and financing the Mujahideen.

Yeah, I don't think your response is relevant to the issue as a whole.
