"I don't want to be politically correct. But it looks like they only way to survive is to be that."
It is the only way to survive. If you say the wrong thing, even if you aren't attacking anyone, you could have your career or life ruined.
Just look at the ex-Mozilla CEO for a good example of this. He donated a small amount of money in a cause he believe in, but because it didn't go along with the community narrative, he was bullied online until he was forced to resign.
If it had been the reverse and he donated to a pro gay marriage fund and the company was extremely religious, the same community would be on the side of the CEO. This is what tells you it's all about politics and has nothing to do with what people tell you (freedom, etc).
I just don't understand why we can't just live and let live.
In the end, it means that people like me that ordinarily just want to live and let live now have to resort to under-handed tactics (like getting people fired and ruining the lives of people) to make the world right.
