The primacy of subjectivity is praised in the mainstream culture. Political correctness is built upon the idea that words are offensive and free speech should be constricted for the sake of safety. People's identity is malleable and the dominance hierarchies are restructured in a way that on the top sits the group that is the most victimized.
Sure, perhaps true feelings are sacrificed for the sake of sensationalism, but saying that feelings, as in a social currency, have no worth...that's a stretch.
I disagree with that.
