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.”

-- Theodore Dalrymple

Political Correctness is intellectual AIDS. Everything it touches it sickens and eventually kills.

-- William S. Lind, Free Congress Foundation

According to Amanda Taub: "…there’s no such thing as 'political correctness.' The term’s in wide use, certainly, but has no actual fixed or specific meaning. What defines it is not what it describes but how it’s used: as a way to dismiss a concern or demand as a frivolous grievance rather than a real issue."

The West fears Political Correctness more so than Islam. It’s a serious problem.

Interesting and educational long piece that could benefit by proofreading to restore all the dropped words to the text before publication. It reads like some sort of intellectual texting.
