Very enlightening. These people are nuts. They are so bad that the protesters from the 60's can't deal with or understand them.
I knew they were nuts but they are even nuttier than I thought. God help us if these people get their way.
Yes I have!
if you want to see PC gone off the rails in detail, watch the following:
It’s the UMASS College Republican event immortalized by TrigglyPuff. Be warned, however, Milo Yiannopoulous is a speaker. There is profanity, and there are allusions to homosexual behavior.
But, there are two other speakers who are quite good as well, one of whom is a FReeper.
It was never on the rails to begin with.
PC by definition IS off the rails.
Look closely. The spirit of “Political Correctness” is the spirit of antichrist, hateful of the Spirit of Christ and those who have Christ.
PC and the spirit of antichrist will take those destined for destruction right into the seven-year horrific Tribulation which is yet a few decades away IMO.
I use that as a tagline for me email at work. Managers and HR types fear and loathe it. The rank & file love it. That alone tells me everything I need to know about PC. It was never intended to "create greater freedom" - it was intended to control people through intimidation and coercion.
The rise of Trump spells the death of PC. A pox upon the lefties who worship it.
No it wasn't. It is nothing other than a form of mind control that was brought to the level of an art form by the NAZIs and the Progressives picked it up and polished it to perfection.
It's a weapon of propaganda intended to separate friend from foe and keep friends from ever straying from the agenda.
“A concept that was intended to create greater freedom in the country...”
Bald faced lie.
Political Correctness was brought to the US by members of the Frankfurt School of Marxism and was meant only and expressly to force people to limit what they allowed themselves to think by forcing a limit on what they could say.
Political Correction was also specifically made to change constantly so anyone could be targeted for punishment for not being perfectly in tune with the day’s permitted speech.
Ohio PING!!
Pure unadulterated crap.
Theodore Dalrymple: “Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to”.
Our colleges and universities are filled with idiot trash who think PC is a great value.
I made a statement the other day that 75% of our colleges and universities could be nuked from earth. And that would be a good start.
Some one actually called me a liberal. Here at FR!
He should drop out of life if he is so fragile.
He needs to become a cloistered monk or a hermit and isolate himself from the world.
He would be much better off hiding away in a mountain cave studying scripture and meditating. Although some of the passages in the Bible would be too traumatic for such a fragile psyche as his.
Oemke is flat out wrong about a good many things, not the least of which is his asinine assertion that Americans did not have free speech until 1968.
Has this guy never heard of the first Amendment? Does he not know that the Bill of Rights precludes the Federal government from interfering with our God given right?
Does he not know that “free speech” to the left has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints? And never more so than in Berkeley during the late 60s.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg. Many other odd misapprehensions are included. For instance his use of the term “leftist mainstream.” Never heard that before. Mayne he meant ‘leftist “mainstream”,’ in which case it would make sense.
But most egregious perhaps is the message that opponents of the left use speech for insults.
Well, Mr. Oemke how about this of your right to speak freely (even though it is false and insulting) “the country has elected a president who stands for racism and sexism.”
Jackass.
“Few terms are as divisive in today’s United States as “political correctness.” A concept that was intended to create greater freedom in the country may instead have resulted in the opposite. It also helped strengthen the right wing.”
Huh? I had to read that several times and I am still doing double-takes!
“A concept that was intended to create greater freedom”?????
Dear Mr. Philipp Oehmke, please sell to me some of whatever you are smoking, ok?
These young people will soon find themselves in Trump’s America. They will need CRASH COURSES in BASIC survival skills—i.e., how NOT to get “triggered”, how to get used to and even enjoy a environment with people who have more traditional ideas, opinions, and experiences. And how to LEARN!!!!
This even includes living well with people who enthusiastically supported Donald Trump, and those who love our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ and who pray and worship regularly.
By the way, the aggressive-looking muslim woman with the pink hijab has to go!!!! It is those things that “trigger” me, and since islam is working to conquer us, they should!!! The “snowflakes” are so clueless that they are very easy prey for islam, and would have been killed or been made slaves very quickly if we had not elected Donald Trump!!!!
Yes. Years ago. That is one of the reasons we are in such a mess.
In my mind PC is as dead as CNN and BUZZFEED
Any Sparks of Life that PC has is as old and decrepit as Hillary is.
