Sunday, August 25, 2002Diego Doval: Blogging, Writing, and it's Consequenses
Once more, I've been thinking about what it means to blog, to write, and why it is so hard in our oh-so-advanced western society to simply tell the truth and deal with it. Political correctness, they call it. I call it hypocrisy.
Emphasis added. Some eastern societies have similar aversions to unpopular thoughts and truths, often in the name of Honor or Saving Face as opposed to Political Correctness. The problem with American society is that employees have few rights, and the right to keep their job is not generally one of them. And our society as a whole is extremely prude-ish.
If I had stayed in Germany, I probably wouldn't worry so much.
