[Personal Responsibility]

“...It’s designed to control, stifle and silence free speech.”

It’s designed to squelch argument and debate. That it silences other parts of speech are just gravy to the leftist.

All this political correctness has but one main goal, to oppress. It’s designed to control, stifle and silence free speech. Instead of being all inclusive and tolerant, the leftists are the exact opposite. It’s designed to squelch argument and debate.

That would fall under stifle, oppression and control. All which are all designed to shut you up. It's not complex. The only thing surprising about the PC doctrine is many easily led Americans went right along with it and allowed themselves to be sucked into it.
