Of all the things that are wrong with society in general, you have probably unearthed the fabled "root cause" of it all.
Once upon a time, I could tell an off color joke, make an observation, point out a fallacy, have a bumper sticker, wear a t-shirt, voice an opinion,

a "free speech zone".... Laughable that such a thing exists, and is even utilized by the sheep.
I'll flip the sarcasm switch off now.
Good thread OP, it should be offensively screamed from the mountaintops!
I'm going outside now to erect signs about my property stating "This is a butt-hurt free zone".
