Fascinating logic. Dissecting this tangled mess of
fuzzy logic into its constituent underlying nonsense
premises:

1. "PC" (still an undefined term) equals a tyranny (which is
an oppressive form of governance.) [ Funny, there was no "PC Party"
on my ballot this November.]

2. Evidently, the plausibility of an argument has nothing to do
with its quality, logic or appeal. No, instead plausibility results
directly from the large number of people making the argument --
that's why public opinion can never shift or change away from the
majority opinion to a minority opinion, and why we all believe the
Earth to be flat and the center of the Universe to this very day.]

3. If the arguments from a lot of people are consistent with
each other, this casts doubt on the arguments. If a set of
arguments are perfectly consistent, why, then they
are impeached of credibility. [The alert reader may note that
this is exactly how science doesn't work.]

Such pure horseshit could only emerge from a pure [fill in the rest
yourself].
