Way before that. The writings of Gramsci advocating “cultural hegemony” go back to the 1920s

the title was VISIGOTHS IN TWEED

God knows there are so many things, I like & admire about President Truman.

My dad took me to see Harry in Vinita, OK when he made his whistle stop tour, I was 10 years old and was close enough to spit on him. Doubt I could get that close to Biden today.

We Freepers used to have more class.

The whole country did.

BS

You have stated the blind, the cover, the hoax being perpetrated.

Political correctness is purely a method of capturing the language and thus the minds and thus the mindset of the citizenry.

Being one of the gullibly masses, you have been duped

I always thought that "political correctness" emerged from the concept of multi-culturalism.

By making all cultures equal by definition, offensive or derogatory words against any one culture by those of another were deemed to be "politically incorrect" speech, and those who uttered those words were call racists, bigots, xenophobes, and homophobes and intolerant.

That's where it began and that's where the cancel slurs started to be used by the left to shut down the right.

Political Correctness " Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
