Personally I think feigned offense at someone's failure to use "approved" language to describe certain groups of people and so on is a real phenomenon. In some cases this faux outrage seems to be exploited for personal gain/advancement.

For sure this is not always what is happening when people complain of political correctness going overboard, but sometimes it is. In other cases, people genuinely do find a given thing hurtful.

Does the statesmen have the peoples best intentions at heart and could he then determine what is right and wrong to verbalize?

Politically correct refers more to politically incorrect in that it is a vilification of that which any one of a number of groups might deem offensive.  Ya know what?  I don't care if Negroes don't like me using the word and I don't care if homos don't like me using the word.  They sure as fuck aint gay and very few Negroes are African American and a lot of African Americans aren't Negroes.

We can have differences all over the place but the vilification in the PC crowd that cannot brook any dissent is dangerous.  I understand the Eurotrash element because of their history but I don't agree with that either.  I am the furthest from PC you can be.  Should I be vilified and shutup?  PC is whatever is currently in fashion by the media and academia and professional whiners.  Nah.  Pinheads and frauds and hucksters

I agree with you to a certain extent.
If anything our shit talking (criticism) should better one another, but at the end of the day it was our ability as humans to subhumanize that makes Europe so opposed to any other idea.

At the end of the day we are all human and we can better ourselves by laughing at what is wrong with society as a whole.

The PC movement does exist and has influenced policy and laws throughout the years, the fact that many of the PC ideas end up backfiring on the originators doesn't mean PC doesn't exist today. The dude who wrote the article is a retard.

I fully agree with the notion presented there. The phrase "Political correct" is solely used to stifle topics which do not interest the stifler and which they seek to block without engaging it.

Its a dishonest debate tactic.





just because you agree with it doesnt mean that it's valid information

in fact, that you agree with it means it's bullshit :smirk:

Honesty should be the #1value of a politician. Unfortunetely, dishonesty is the #1 value defended entirely by political correctness. It's as if they invented the term to lie too people in there face.

Vox is the left's equivalent of Fox News.  Biased, bigoted, and highly agenda driven.  The fact they would make an article like this does not surprise me in the least.  Not only is political correctness real, its more dangerous than authoritarianism.

The phrase started in Russia as a sneer at those who immediately embraced whatever whacky thing the current rulers said. If they said Poland was our friend, the pc crowd said the same and if the next day the leaders said Poland was our enemy, the pc crowd would immediately say the same.

Now days its used to describe the sheep who agree with all the crap the moonbats put out. Certain words are not allowed but mostly its thoughts that are not allowed. Negroes can call anyone a nigger and its fine but if a white person does it, they are racist and must be punished. That's racist all by itself. They make up new shit all the time and say its now forbidden, like "all lives matter" is becoming un-pc. Why, because some retards said so, therefore the sheep must bow down and follow the leader.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.” (attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville political philosopher Circa 1835)

The PC movement is also about trying to punish the straight white male, instead of being grateful they are resentful.
