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.

This is something that Zandra Rice-Hawkins of Granite State Progress, IMHO, seems to know well and uses this tool any time she can. From the “hate speechers” to those that deny unborn babies are human and onward to the Left that insists that the Constitution is of no value and that all references to absolute ideas of Right and Wrong employ this form of cultural Marxism.
It’s purpose is to shut you up by the Orwellian tool of either removing words from our common language, or far far worse, redefine words to be completely at odds with historical definitions. Take “access” for example – when the Left means “access to contraceptives”, they do not mean that you can go to the store and purchase it yourself. Instead, they mean to ENFORCE that it means that unless YOU are buying such medications for SOMEONE else, that person has been denied access to it.
Just look at the LGBTQRSTUV transgender sexual dysphoria and illness that we now see going on – that the Left INSISTS that unless transgendered have the “freedom” to pee in the bathroom that does not match their chromosomal identity, their freedom has been denied. Yet, the Left insists that YOUR freedom to privacy in the bathroom doesn’t exist (you know, that “privacy” that allows women to kill their unborn children in the womb).
Words only mean what THEY want them to mean when it forwards their agenda – and you are being xenophobic, homophobic, misogynitic, racist and EVIIIILLLLL for arguing with them. They will target you, your friends, your family, and your job to make sure you are “re-educated” (or in sheer retribution for standing up to them – I think they get more pleasure from the latter than the former) in “correct” thinking and disposition.
You know, just like the Communist Stalinist gulags, the Communist Chinese Cultural Revolution and purges, the Viet Cong / North Vietnamese after taking over South Viet Nam, and the current beatings we see in Communist Cuba and “21st Socialism” Venezuela.
It’s time for all of the rest of us to stand up, flick’em the bird, and tell them to stuff it up their collective *ss*s. Then start pointing at them, smile, and laugh hysterically in their faces. That’s what you do to bullies – a punch in their figurative noses. Hey, it used to work when I’d see Zandra Rice-Hawkins, with camera in hand, when she was trolling conservative events. Right, Zandra?
Remember, it’s for YOUR children – get to laughing!
