I was talking about this the other day with someone and I've decided it's not like fascism: political correctness is like a fundamentalist religion (but without a god).
- There are blasphemies: things that are "bad" that aren't actually bad at all. And questioning WHY they're "bad" is itself a bad thing. "There are two genders" is a blasphemy.
- It's intended for a greater good but often ends up doing the opposite.
- There are things you're meant to believe on blind faith. The "gender pay gap" is a prime example.
- There is a devil figure: the tyrannical patriarchy!
- It encourages its followers to try to convert others and shun those who won't be converted. "If you support [conservative value] then get off my friends list!"
- Like all other religions ever invented it's UTTER HORSE SHIT.
So yeah. Not fascism. Just a shitty godless religion. And that's coming from an atheist.
