I hear about this a lot. Yet somehow it hasn't impacted me in the slightest. My mother taught me not be impolite and to treat everyone with respect. Those simple lessons have served me well throughout my life.
And I don't pay attention to people who are outraged on the internet. So there's no one actually telling me how to run my life. I'm sure there are any number of people who wouldn't approve of how I run my life, but I don't consult them. So I'm really not seeing this great oppression you speak of. The scourge of political correctness seems a bit mythical.
