@hankgreen Definitely. And that's a reason to welcome criticism and listen to it. But Conformity PC is something different altogether. It doesn't say, "I think you're wrong and here's why," it says, "You are a terrible person for saying this. Hey look everyone! He's a terrible person!" — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
@hankgreen Yup. It's especially easy today to let bullies be the directors of what we choose to say out loud or keep to ourselves. That's why I like this as a compass: https://t.co/9l9gRkqSWB — PolitiTweet.org

@hankgreen As for "most powerful group," I mean that only a group with a lot of cultural power has the ability to enforce Conformity PC. Religious fundamentalists on college campuses might like to make vocal atheism taboo, but they don't have the power to there. But in a church, they might. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
@hankgreen I'd say the way to distinguish between Civility PC and Conformity PC is that when someone violates the former, most people agree that they did something shitty. When someone violates the latter, only a small group finds it objectionable (but defying that group is scary). — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
@hankgreen The most powerful group varies depending on the room you're in. In some environments, violating woke orthodoxy comes along with severe social penalties. In others, you'll be destroyed for suggesting that Biden won the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org

@hankgreen There are two kinds of political correctness: 1) Civility PC: What you said - careful kindness. 2) Conformity PC: The most powerful cultural group bullying everyone else into conforming with their orthodoxy. The first is nice and good. The second is bad and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

@RocArJo Not really, re: #3. Right now there are verified accounts with 1,200 followers and non-verified accounts with a million. Which is insane. It would have to be some objective metric like a specific follower count. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
And "famous person" is determined by some objective metric like follower count. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
How about: 1) All accounts have to go through verification using a phone number (like signing up Uber) or they can't post. Gets rid of bots and burners. 2) $8/mo Twitter Premium with extra features to bring in revenue. 3) Famous person verification to show it's really them. — PolitiTweet.org

On the other hand, if you live by someone else's values instead of your own, you'll end up losing the respect of the people you respect and winning over the wrong people. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Urban @waitbutwhy
No matter what you do for work, no matter how you live your life, no matter what your stances areโthere will be some crowds who respect you for it and others who don't. If you live true to your values, you'll win the respect of the people you respect. That's all that matters. — PolitiTweet.org
