Wow. hadn’t read my own FR page in I don’t know how long so when I clicked it I was surprised to find this there. Worth sharing.
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.Political Correctness - The Revenge of Marxism Gates of Vienna - Baron Bodissey
I used to read Baron Bodissey on Gates of Vienna often and then couldn’t find. I just searched and he’s still up, a great write. Thanks for that on political correctness. Perfect. Here’s link to Baron Bodissey’s blog Gates of Vienna.
