Political correctness is not mentally balanced

I am heartily sick of seeing the politically correct stance of providing both sides of selected arguments. There is right and there is wrong, there is good and there is evil. Just because someone holds honestly derived abhorrent views does not mean that these ought to be aired. Hitler held his views honestly but I do not want to read Mein Kampf.


Ones does not give an audience to flat earth advocates when you read about spaceflight. You do not provide a wrong mathematical answer as an alternative to a proven theorem. You should not provide airtime for the lunatic conspiracy theorists of 9/11 who refuse to accept what they saw with their own eyes or the terrorists who have claimed “credit” for the monstrosity (oh, except that sometimes media outlets do, because it has somehow been adopted as an alternative history by people full of hate).

Today, we see which self-styled soldiers target civilians for murder and behead those that fall into their clutches. It is not hard to see that which is wrong and evil.
