Sure, but considering this entire speech you've been talking about how you want to protect the rights of fascists to spew fascist bullshit, talking negatively about political correctness is almost assuredly about the modern usage. You can't fault me for reading this as you yet again arguing for fascist speech to be protected.

I agree that your previous misunderstandings lead you to this one.

Fascist speech is to be exposed and criticised scientifically, not dogmatically. Your use of "protected" here implies something I do not defend.

I want to attack fascist speech, you want to hide it.. from my point of view I could also say you are the one protecting it.

You can expose the problems of fascist speech without legally protecting the right of fascists to spread disinformation and misinformation, which you've been arguing for. I don't want to "hide" it, I want to eliminate it from public discourse and study it academically so as to prevent it from rising.
