He actually reiterates the definition he had in the GP comment but then edited out: "Political correctness is a right-wing term used when they want to call somebody X, but may face social consequences for doing so." He thinks terms like 'political correctness' and 'victim culture' are some sort of right-wing slurs for virtuous attributes. He doesn't seem to be aware that this notion doesn't exist for 90%+ of the worl…

Sure, but most of the worlds population will still get irrationally upset at you for broaching social and cultural norms, like depicting Muhammad or denigrating the king.

Exactly; but Missosoup has strongly internalized the idea that neither blacks nor queers deserve respect; as such he truly doesn’t understand why calling them derogatory terms is a bad thing.

To him, it’s insane that a white person could care about a non-white; or a straight could care about a queer. He thinks that’s fake.

It’s sad, but it’s a peek inside the mind of a shitty human being who had abhorrent parents.

> pretty unique to the wealthier segments of the West and Europe. Thank you for letting me know that Asia has no complex rules about how to address people, and no social consequences for failure to obey those rules.

It's kinda incredible that you go this far into this thread and still are guilty of what everyone is lamenting.

I love finding comments like this where I understand very little. (I am not being sarcastic). Excellent for learning.

If you’re interested in learning more about finance, I recommend subscribing to Money Stuff (free daily finance newsletter). Matt Levine does a great job of explaining concepts like these to a layperson and I love his sense of humor. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-02-26/reddit...

Thank you for the recommendation. I'm already pretty deep in to a lot of economics and finance newsletters and podcasts. I am also familiar with Matt's work, though not a direct follower. I hear great things though!
