I'm not a Trump supporter, but all the YC shaming is terrible. You're advocating for dictatorship where only one political view matters.

Wikipedia: "A dictatorship is a type of authoritarianism, in which politicians regulate nearly every aspect of the public and private behavior of citizens."



This is exactly what's happening with today's political correctness.

I need to watch the daily news so politicians and news anchors can disseminate the naughty words of the week. Otherwise, I might unintentionally let the 'wrong' thing slip at work and get fired.

Being a blond haired, blue eyed Caucasian programmer, my manager is constantly looking for a reason to replace me since the company implemented it's diversity program. I'm one of the highest producing employees and I feel discriminated against, but it's politically incorrect to state this.


so much fear of reprisal that you have to qualify with "I'm not a Trump supporter". political discourse here is as bad or worse than it is anywhere.


>so much fear of reprisal

That's a bit dramatic. It wasn't fear of reprisal, it was disclosure of bias.
