For example, if I note that there is a disparity in income distribution, it doesn’t make me a communist. Only if I were to advocate a policy of forcibly redistributing income based on that fact would I then be a communist.

I think deep down inside he knows this. Pointing out facts is not the same thing as advocating a public policy or social system (of any sort).

But attributing malicious intent to those who say uncomfortable things has always been the resort of the one who refuses to accept realities which he wishes weren't realities.

Same thing the AGW people say as well.

At some point you guys will see that you arent any different than they are. You just like your agenda, just like they like theirs, which they dont see as having “malicious intent” either and that we “climate deniers” “refuses to accept realities which he wishes weren’t realities”.

But you are different....of course. /s

Yes, this is the heart of political correctness. They do not want anyone to say certain things because those things might be detrimental to the policies THEY want to advocate. It matters not what policies the people saying the forbidden things actually advocate, because political correctness is by nature a defensive position.
