Liberalism is insidious. Not unlike termites, it destroys the structure of the house it inhabits.
Someone actually gets it.
I would go further: these various PC agendas may be pushed by elites only for the purpose of accumulating power. They may believe in absolutely none of them. Once they get the control that they crave, they could easily turn on the protected groups that they now claim to champion.
Bkmrk.
I have been looking around lately for info on linguistics and have found to my horror that pretty much this field has been given over to the left. Rather than doing all the clarity seeking stuff that it is supposed to to, the entire field seems to have been hijacked into pushing very questionable agendas.
Linguistics has to be restored to clarity seeking.
It is very clever, a form of mass hypnosis, where we are asked to give up, to shun, longstanding cultural believes. Absurdity knows no bounds, as the progressives seek to strip us of everything natural and sane belief, while replacing it with their ideas that have only one purpose, to break down the structural foundations of American life.
For those of us who are not so easily hypnotized, the absurdity of leftist neo-cult theology seems so irrational that one need not take it serious. They say, we can no longer define what is male or female, we laugh and say, you must be joking.
But the joke is on us. We have vastly underestimated the stupidity of the masses who are now embracing every ridiculous leftist pronouncement and newly minted victim class, as quickly as they can be paraded in front of a camera, to inform us how insensitive, racist and mean spirited we have been, to not realize that Pygmy albino trans species peoples of the world have been victimized by old white christian men.
I have been feeling the urge to push back for sometime now. But I am reluctant to do so with my friends. Thats why I wrote “The Old White Guy Blues” and a new patriotic anthem, “If it's Gay and it's Ghetto then it's Good.” It gave me a creative outlet for expressing my frustration with the absurdity of a popular culture and political movement that is self loathing to the point of being suicidal.
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. Ones 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.

Every time I hear “gay” as a euphemism for homosexual, I want to barf.
Well she can’t condemn me. I’ve been talking about this exact thing often for years.
Oh and not just about the left. It applies to the leftists on FR pushing acceptance of and whitewashing the Romney situation to this day.
