I'm going to go with  "Confusions", my confusion arises with people who always ride the progressive P/C train and can't stand to take a joke. These people are more than willing to dish out a joke to the less publicly accepted stand points but anytime someone insults beliefs in line with(or what they believe to be in line with) their political stand point they cry racism, misogyny or whatever new word they're using to discredit opposing views. For example you could make fun of Conservative Christians all day long and no one would challenge you as it is the hip thing to do, but if I were to say ANYTHING about Islam or Homosexuals, I would instantly be  labeled as a racist and homophobe. My second point is people who point trust in movements and ideals that have been proven to be ineffective. The people who follow along with the more left leaning ideals confuse me, because these ideals are contrary to what I grew up with. To me they seem backwards and wrong(as I assume my ideals seem to them) they seem to run counter intuitive to freedom as they seem to line up in masses to push and cheer on the creation of some Orwellian society.
