I feel for you, but no. Political correctness is the chief cause of our societal decline. The worship of 'kindness' over rationality, the surrender of speech and expression to the pathologically offended, the refusal to state or even acknowledge truth in the name of protecting the feelings of others - it all has to go. All of it.

I don't want to alienate allies who were bullied and coerced. We are on the same side. But ignoring the truth is not an option anymore. Use your pain and embarrassment to feed your fury against those who have wronged you and caused you irreparable damage,
