On my Facebook, I have some friends who either comment in threads from conservative Facebook groups/pages, or they share such content on their own Facebook. Unfortunately, this means that sometimes, I get content from such conservative Facebook pages/groups that show up in my Facebook newsfeed.
Sometimes, I would come across something from a Facebook conservative page that complains/whines about political correctness, and how everyone is looking for anything to be offended by, and how freedom of speech no longer exists . . . blah, blah, blah.
So, when I am unable to resist temptation, I go to that particular thread or meme on that conservative Facebook's page/group, and I post politically incorrect jokes about American veterans.
And lo and behold, all those politically incorrect people who have such a bravado attitude about how they do not care about offending anyone, and they will say anything that they damn please because they're tired of people being offended by anything, all of sudden, become offended by the politically incorrect jokes that I posted.
One politically incorrect joke I have posted about American veterans is:
"Have you heard about the guy who voluntarily enlisted to serve in the military while we were still at war in Iraq and Afghanistan? It's because he had gone full ******."
A second politically incorrect joke that I have posted:
"What do you call an amputee veteran? A coward, because he did not give his life for our freedom."
Can someone explain to me why politically incorrect people would be offended by my politically incorrect jokes? Does it have anything to do with hypocrisy and double standards? Or is there some other explanation?
