The Age of the Intellectual Wimp

It's no secret that ever since the late 60's, the obsession with emotions and sensations (that first poisoned the West's bloodstream with the advent of Romanticism) has made rational thought and discourse ever more scarce.  Standard PCism is of course a truism in this regard.  But what are we to make of the following?!

Person X:  "I believe that Communism is an ersatz-religion."

Leftist:  {foaming at the mouth} "That's hate speech!!"

Whine, whine.   Why don't you just cut all our tongues out and fingers off, while you're at it?
