If you’re Social Justice Warrior, you’re a liar. You actively spread absurd falsehoods about the nature of men, women, sex, and culture that can’t withstand even the slightest scrutiny. You change history and conceal facts to fit preferred narratives, even when it costs human lives. You claim the best of intentions yet achieve the worst of outcomes. And through it all, you hate the very nation and political system that have granted you the liberties you so grotesquely abuse...SNIP...If you disagree — if you think that political correctness is gaining momentum — then consider a few facts. First, the top two candidates in the Republican race for president of the United States attained their front-runner status by willfully, gleefully defying political correctness at every turn. Ben Carson shot to the top of the polls when he did the unthinkable — told the truth about guns, about Islam, about resistance to mass shooters, and about abortion — without flinching. It’s old news by now that Donald Trump’s supporters love him for his anti-PC stands. (Though sadly, he’ll use feigned PC outrage when it suits his purposes.)

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 took women out of the home and God out of schools. It also ripped solid foundation of Biblical Law out from under our legislation and jurisprudence. The BIG LIE is pretending this has made us all better off. The sooner we go back to being a proudly CHRISTIAN republic, the better off we’ll be.
It’s true... PC has peaked. As the article says - it might take years for it all to go away but the direction is there and that ain’t gonna change.
I have a friend we’ll call “Robert.” He’s older than I but we grew up in the same neighborhood. He is as liberal as I am conservative. I’d call him a shadow Marxist and he bought it hook, line, and sinker. There are no bad people, only those whom society has failed. All white people are racists. There is nothing wrong with the underclass, or, indeed, society, that more tax money can’t solve. Republicans are sub-human. Guns contain evil spirits that make people commit murder. The NRA is Satan’s church on Earth. And so on.
As you might expect, my friend chose a career in public education, in Massachusetts. He rose through merit into administration, achieving the rank of assistant school principal. All was well.
Then, one day, two minority teachers who had been affirmative actioned through their schools and careers to become two surly women with an 8th grade education, were up for promotion as teachers in the school where they worked. My friend, in a fit of honesty, disapproved their promotions. Several weeks later both of these women charged him with racism, sexism, and misogeny. He was summarily fired and these two women were promoted. He has since lived in obscurity and, I am sure, bitterness.
Peaked, means that it’s getting better. Wrong and stupid. It is getting worse.
Peaked does not mean it is getting better. It means its influence is declining .
I don’t want it to peak. I want PC to bottom out and get flushed into the septic tank of history.
Wouldn’t you like to know if he’s had a change of heart??
Your story, should you change the characters to anthropomorphized animals, would be worthy of Aesop.
Me too.
Political correctness hasn’t died, it’s just gone underground — waiting until the most outrageously politically-incorrect public figure of modern times, Donald Trump, has safely won the Republican presidential nomination.
THEN the DNC in league with the liberal media will unloose the hordes of insulted, yet highly organized, Hispanics, feminists, immigrants, and blacks who will erupt onto the public stage, protesting at every Donald Trump speech, until he can’t get a single word out, or until he has his goons throw the protestors out on national television, making him look like Hitler clearing the room of antagonists during one of his beer-hall speeches.
As the very liberal publication ‘’Mother Jones’’ put it in a headline, ‘’We May Have Bill Clinton to Thank for Donald Trump’s Entry into the Presidential Race.’’ Yes, to THANK. It is public knowledge that Bill Clinton spoke to Donald Trump shortly before he declared his candidacy.
And what could be better for Hillary’s presidential hopes than to face a Republican opponent whose xenophobic, misogynistic, anti-Hispanic outbursts have made him Public Enemy Number One among the Democrats’ most important special-interest groups?
Unless Donald Trump loses the Republican nomination, we can safely prepare for another eight years of the Clintons in the White House.
The leftist revolution always eats its own children.
“And what could be better for Hillary’s presidential hopes than to face a Republican opponent whose xenophobic, misogynistic, anti-Hispanic outbursts have made him Public Enemy Number One among the Democrats’ most important special-interest groups?”
Get a grip there, little rabbit. This is FRee Republic, not FRench surrender monkey headquarters.
Not knowing the individual, I'd nonetheless guess not. He's more likely confused, bewildered, wondering what he did wrong ("I did everything I was supposed to do").
The very last thing a creature of political correctness does, and only under the most extreme duress, is admit that political correctness was the cause of the problem. It's virtually always the fault of something else.
Sort of the way that communism is never at fault, only the flawed individuals who attempt to implement it.
