Today's PC culture and the Right and Left.

I've been curious for a while now why people's stances on today's somewhat extreme form of PC culture are associated with particular political leanings.

The vast majority of the time I find out that people who are against extreme PC culture turn out to be Right Wing. While the vast majority of people who are for extreme PC culture turn out to be Left Wing. Does anybody know why this is?

I am generally a socialist, I'm not for privatizing everything and I think wealth should be shared out more than it is. Yet I'm personally not a fan of extreme PC Culture. I am a Liberal because I believe in freedom, equality and diversity but I personally find the PC culture of today to be too controlling.

Yet I do not understand why seemingly unrelated views have to come as a set. What has your views on PC culture got to do with the Free Market and Privatization? I'm not a fan of partisan politics and don't see why you shouldn't be able to have a variety of different opinions. Why can't you be for the Free Market and extreme PC Culture? Or vice versa?

Surely it's healthier to hold a diversity of opinion. Surely those opinions would be more considered by the listener it they didn't feel like the rhetoric of partisan politics.

We live in a very diverse time in history. What this means is that divisions can become ever more rampant due to differences and other cultural entanglements. We have the opportunity to become stronger than ever before but it is only possible if we can come together in unity.

Languages, nationalities, and various customs are not obstacles to get around but are gifts which forge our unique identities that can be shared creating new ideas to enrich life.

Those in power, IMO particularly on the left, want to see the minions fighting with each other so the egg us on. Watch TV for proof(the news), if you don't get my point, it went over your head.

There is no left-wing in the US. The numbers are so small it wouldn't even be considered a minority. This isn't the 1930s.
