One would think that even the most brain washed individual would still be able to determine between opinion, facts, and a person's right to simply speak. I realize that many of these "Societies" don't believe in the individual. But even they have to realize that not everyone believes as they do. Religious differences have been happening since the cave-man.
It seems you can tell a christian that their religion is a joke, and they simply blow it off. You can tell a Jewish believer that the Torah is make believe and they turn and walk away. You can tell a Buddhist that their god isn't real, and they simply go in one ear and out the other. Same can be said for just about any religion. Except of course the Muslim religion. You say anything derogatory and they want to start a war and kill someone. And no, it's not just a small group in the middle east. Others may not want to start a war, but they "Claim" to be highly offended and insulted.
So, because they get offended, we have to make sure we are all politically correct and not say anything that might be considered offensive. But because we don't get "As offended", we're suppose to put up with other's disrespect. People need to get over it. Every day, something or someone is going to offend someone. SO WHAT!!! I'm sure I've offended a person or two on this forum. Get over it. I have. I don't lose any sleep over it.
But when I hear people say they are "Offended"; no matter what the reason; it simply makes me respect them that much less. No matter what a person's beliefs, religion, values, or morals; there is absolutely no reason to ever be offended. Especially by words that are simply opinions. It's not like any prophet, God, messiah, etc... is going to stop loving or interacting with their people because some "non-believer" said something negative. Sorry, but I have zero respect for these protesters.
This is what their culture has socialized them to do. Very typical of closed societies that use the defense of their belief system to demonize outsider experiences. Cultures that fear assimilation by another will up the ante (i.e. make a life and death matter of) on personal types of things. Issues of trust exist within and outwards in these cultures. Religion and relations between the sexes are typical flash points that show up.
Cultures only grow out of these behaviors when they get enough external exposures that give that plurality of belief systems that don't allow one system to dominate thought and defeat outside challenges.
All the examples you cite are cultures that have had to absorb parts of others over the centuries.
And we aren't that far removed from these types of outrage reactions to personal challenges... 250 years ago we still had pistol duels over some (by today's standard) are some trivial issues.
Not a problem that is going to be solved in less than 3 generations of steady exposure to outside thought and value systems.
