Political Correctness

PC does stop a debate but not in the way you're saying. Let me give you an example. If you say "mexican immigrants are rapists and killers" and I call you a fascist based on that then you accuse me of being a PC "retard". Instead of arguing why your statement doesn't make you a fascist. Political Correctness is a term that's weaponised in a debate by the right, not the left.

Calling me a facist doesn't make sense. I never made any sort of comment that relates to fascism. You must be a commie. Or not know what a facist is.

Also, do you often have imaginary arguments with yourself?

The fact it's even called pc shows that it's inherent meaning is if you disagree with us you're morally wrong. Like saying "Mexican people commit crimes" is 'racist' now. Well, white people commit crimes too. Being politically correct means avoiding half of reality most times.

Now, go back with your bey blades and fight fascists in the dark.

It is perfectly reasonable to expect and demand freedom of speech in modern society, but is it reasonable to expect and demand freedom from the consequences of one's speech? If I make a statement saying I'm going to blow Donald Trump's lid off with a Smith & Wesson XVR 460 Magnum, is it reasonable for me to expect and demand that the Secret Service not put me on their watch-list because I'm only practicing my free speech prerogative?

If you're actually asking people to kill someone or making threats you should be charged but I think there's already laws for that.
