This is because the millennial left has turned to being infantile as a response to the accelerating and super harsh growing up the world is subjecting people to.
Most people do not feel ready for an adult life when they should be. Gen X will literally never understand this, they seem to not comprehend or be able to imagine the issue.
But this is what is happening. The absolute largest part of the generation feels like schoolkids thrown into a board meeting. They do their best, but they don't understand half of it, because no one prepared them for all this, it's all very tiring, a lot of effort, people continue to hurt them left and right, and when they have an idea they think is good or point out something ridiculous in what is being done, they are laughed at.
It's absolutely no wonder they turn to infantilizing coddling policies, and weird cults like social justice.

But if you are not near the SJW movements and their speech restrictions, why be so concerned about them? Considering the murder of dozens of transgender people, mostly those who are people of color (not "niggers," sorry, but I am obeying the dictum of political correctness here, with no apologies for doing so),

a) He's concerned because the SJWs don't apply those restrictions to themselves but try to enforce them ON EVERYONE. Make a joke about rape? Don't you know you can't joke about those things? Have your career ended. Make an joke about nazis, that has literally been done by historical nazi resistance fighters? Get fucking convicted in a court for causing serious offense. Say something offensive online and be not of the politically correct ideology? Get all your social media shut down, payment providers blocked, or bank accounts frozen.
Yeah really, why would he be concerned.
b) No one wants to call them niggers, but you using the term "people of color" just proves you buy into the whole pc nonsense. Their skin in black. What is wrong with calling them black/brown people, just like you call white people WHITE PEOPLE.
What the actualy fucking shit does "peope of color" even mean? How do they even have anything to do with color, they're not rainbow people, they're just darker skinned. What the hell does of color even stand for? "Of the color by the color for the color"? People of color like "The people of Atlantis"? OF implies that the thing before it is somehow a subject OF the thing after it. OF COLOR is not a fucking linguistically correct thing to say, but it's what people decided hurt their feefees least so that's what everyone says now.

Are they really.... The congress is filled with democrats, the media apart from FAUX news is wholeheartedly lapping it up, and actual legislation will have to be introduced to stop colleges and oh i don't know EVERY SINGLE TECH CORPORATION CONTROLLING THE WORLD from going insane with SJW nonsense.
And that's just america.

-Yeah but curiously enough the red star and hammer and sickle are not banned...despite communism having killed one hundred million people compared the 20 million of nazism. Hmmm it's almost as if this was a partisan thing, because the left naturaly gained power and support in western europe after a regime from the right turned out to be fucking awful.
-Also this is not a ban on politically incorrect speech. Politically incorrect means that it is correct, but it is not what the current politics likes, therefore you can't say it's really incorrect, but it is *politically* incorrect. A symbol of an evil organization is not otherwise correct, nor is it technically politically incorrect, as it is not a statement of a fact. It is just extremely disturbing. And just like you can't walk around showing images of people being killed or demands that people be killed you can't walk around with images of organizations that killed people. It is not about political correctness. It is therefore not comparable at all to bans on politically incorrect things.
