Aids > PC Police Hitler > PC Police So you'd rather have Aids than be PC. Different strokes I suppose. |

This is where the PC crap has got to stop. We can not hold the people of history responsible for our views of today, no matter how asinine those views are.

I just worry that everything’s only getting worse… Increased political correctness about everything, especially what was not controversial even five years ago; increased politicization of everything, especially in light of (but not, curiously, wholly because of) Trump; increased polarization between ideological camps; increased hatred, genuine hatred, of other side, to the extent that we condemn the principle of civility itself, on which our (small-r) republican society stands, or even talking to other side; a call for physical violence in reaction to political moves with which we disagree… God. Dear God. I don’t know… These last twelve years or so, including late Bush, Obama, and Trump—I don’t know, I really don’t know where we’re heading. But I’m really worried about all this. |

A certain false equivalency if what I think the video is about. Its about an award, the name of the award is being changed. As for the author involved, whose books were written in a specific time and place, no one has decided to put a ban on those books.

The books weren't banned, the author was stripped of an award because butthurt snowflake people are holding her accountable for today's standards of social justice and PS shit. |

How they portrayed the life on the prairie in the 19th century on Little House of the prairie is very mild compared to how it actually was.

Every generation thinks it's the worst. If we only focus on the negative, then yeah, things will always seem worse. |

Relax, everyone. It's something that literally had no effect on any of our lives, and we wouldn't have even known about it had it not been for this Fox "News" report.

Every generation thinks it's the worst. If we only focus on the negative, then yeah, things will always seem worse. Let’s say, arguendo, that’s true. I don’t agree, but let’s say it is. That some of a generation may think their generation worse does not at all show that the generation is, in fact, better or worse. The generation before the Civil War probably thought things were getting worse. They were right. |

Just like the situation with To Kill A Mockingbird and Zulu-in their day, they were intended as liberal propaganda messages for a specific audience--now the descendants of that worldview spurn them because they cannot appreciate the past and those earlier works are now perceived as offensive or even part of the problem.
You do not find this with conservative art. The past is valued because the works were never intended to be revolutionary as its end all purpose-just expressing life as one saw it, good or bad.

Like statues of Confederate heroes to remind blacks they were once slaves? |

How about if they hated that 750,000 Americans, black and white, would die in a ravaging civil war? That the North fought for a noble cause does not reduce the terribleness of a terrible conflict, and your implication does your argument no justice. But if you don’t like my analogy, substitute one of your own. The point stands. |

It was not intended as liberal propaganda. It may be considered conservative propaganda but that depends on the intention in the original creation.
