PC is a political system that disallows for political discourse.

So what does this group look like? Compared with the rest of the (nationally representative) polling sample, progressive activists are much more likely to be rich, highly educated—and white. They are nearly twice as likely as the average to make more than $100,000 a year. They are nearly three times as likely to have a postgraduate degree. And while 12 percent of the overall sample in the study is African American, only 3 percent of progressive activists are. With the exception of the small tribe of devoted conservatives, progressive activists are the most racially homogeneous group in the country.

And yet these are the people who think they know what's best for "the poor" and for "people of color."

PC is a means to an end dreamed up by Karl Marx.

Progressive activists are the only group that strongly backs political correctness: Only 30 percent see it as a problem... progressive activists are much more likely to be rich, highly educated—and white. They are nearly twice as likely as the average to make more than $100,000 a year. They are nearly three times as likely to have a postgraduate degree. And while 12 percent of the overall sample in the study is African American, only 3 percent of progressive activists are.

In other words PC is a profitable industry for an overeducated elite who somehow make a living telling everyone else what to think.

It's a union.

They have silenced the right and mistake that for political/cultural victory. I “I don’t know anyone that voted for Trump” syndrome.

The entire left is built on the LIE that labor is superior to PROPERTY and CAPITAL.

Property and capital (in the right hands) CREATE WEALTH. Labor, on the other hand, is COST, hence a drain on the wealth
-creation process. When costs are like labor must be minimized, wealth-creation becomes more efficient and closer to the ideal. Costs are parasitical. They drain an enterprise of its blood — which is profit.

The left, however, elevates labor (a cost) to the highest moral ground. From this, they have developed a worship of entitled, parasitic behavior.

Yes, capitalism needs to create jobs. But leftists act as if that’s the WHOLE POINT of capitalism. But, no. Capitalism is about profit. That’s why capitalists and (rightfully) always looking for ways to to reduce labor (and other costs) as close to ZERO as possible.

We’re reaching the point where automation and artificial intelligence will make labor almost obsolete. So, all the people who depend on jobs will have to, once and for all, fend for themselves and be free
It’s exciting.
