Read all about it HERE
Read, discuss.
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.

How did that phrase "politically correct" come into being is what I wonder. Correct to say in a political sense or on a political stage or does it have more to do with political evolution deeming that wrong? is it a matter of morality or a matter of politics?

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.

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.

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.

I agree that PC is mostly an illusion.
It's the type of tactic that maybe at one time was embraced by some liberal academics, but now political correctness is largely defined and perpetuated by the people in opposition to it. I can't remember the last time I heard someone advocate for politically correct language as something that must be enforced, but there seems to be no end to the number of people who feel their ideas are being oppressed by the idea that social conscience and language should be intertwined.
Nobody I can think of ever said anyone has to be politically correct, but the fact is a person's lack of sensitivity in the language they use can be used against them. People don't like to be portrayed as insensitive, or some do I guess so they embrace the ehtos of political incorrectness to whatever end.
To me there are plenty of political tactics more dangerous than attempting to inject standards of sensitivity into language, such as lies being passed off as the truth, and espousing beliefs that you don't intend to follow through on to garner votes or financial support. If we can't freely call out people who do things like that, there can be no democracy.

It's just another way of putting things in boxes and putting the boxes where they can't be reached. Just like the words. To make a thing taboo is to induce ignorance. Drugs God Spiritually "Bad words" 
I don't see how political correctness actually benefits the people who we're being political correct for. It just seems like a way to 1.get your voice heard even if you have nothing to say 2.feel better than other people
Like the grammar Nazi. They often know what you mean but because they been told their whole life it's this way and not that way They see it as a chance to tell you that you're wrong just like they've been told that they were wrong.
Edit: Haha I actually read the article and see a completely different point from what I thought this thread is about. touche Asante Edit2: Basically I do agree with the article on some points but I'm not sure if the people who are "politically incorrect" actually care I was raised in a very racist community and when we'd go to big cities they generally wouldn't use racist terms but as soon as we got home they started saying like horrible offense stuff about other human beings just because their skin color. I have no problem with race, gender, sexuality or anything. I think you should treat everything like it was I within reason of course. I don't eat meat unless I have to but if I had to I would do it as respectfully as I could. Edit:3 I have no problem with racist people or meat eaters either because I know I could easily be them and they could easily be me. They're just suffering from ignorance like I was but I managed to escape the ignorance because fortunately I grew up with the internet and psychedelics .
This isn't to say I think eating meat is "bad" either. Plants actually seem pretty intelligent too and have been shown to need "sleep" or they die. I just think most of the meat I'll buy is treated just like that, meat not a living being and I don't want to be a apart of that any more. Although plants definitely aren't treated like living beings... fuck

I don't see how political correctness actually benefits the people who we're being political correct for. It just seems like a way to 1.get your voice heard even if you have nothing to say 2.feel better than other people
Like the grammar Nazi. They often know what you mean but because they been told their whole life it's this way and not that way They see it as a chance to tell you that you're wrong just like they've been told that they were wrong.
Yes, the grammar Nazi. Bane of message boards. "you know what I mean", I do know what you mean. You just look like a retard with ur's, i's and cuz.

Political correctness is just shallow imo. People use it when, what they really want to say may be construed as inappropriate. I agree, that it is also used as a way to undermine a topic and avoid it.

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.
Way to challenge the crowd while using your vast array of knowledge and extensive vocabulary, to educate everyone on a plethora of terminology that is otherwise utterly useless

For the extreme leftists, pc doesn't exist. Its been drummed into them so completely they think its natural and normal. They think people who don't jump through all the same hoops are the weird ones.

po·lit·i·cal·ly cor·rect pəˌlidək(ə)lē kəˈrekt/ adjective exhibiting (or failing to exhibit) political correctness. "it is not politically correct to laugh at speech impediments" synonyms: unoffensive, nondiscriminatory, unbiased, neutral, appropriate, nonpartisan; informalPC "the true meaning may be clouded by his politically correct language"
Please explain how you can justify the argument you just made that "the far left cannot understand what politically correct is."
Are you creating a biased argument that appeals to extreme fallacies based on your perception that a person on the right side will argue "PC" so therefore a liberal leftist asshole doesn't understand the definition to begin with by some chance?
Care to elaborate?

What I said and what I meant was that they don't see pc as anything but normal. Its like if someone said do you use logic? You would say yes of course. They think its natural to avoid certain words, to attack those who use certain words, as well as actions like having a certain flag. People who are not left wingers see it as a false narrative. Just for example, blacks are allowed to say things whites aren't but the pc crowd will tell you they don't have a speck of racism in them. Yet that whole thing is racist. They can't see it because its been fed to them so long they accept it as truth.

This is all anyone needs to know about being PC. The question is which part of the song connects with you the most?
