Political Correctness

“Of course, I blame political correctness,” but probably for completely the opposite reasons to that you are thinking. 

Political correctness in its simplest form informs us not to call a black guy a nigger, not to call a gay guy a faggot, not to call a woman a bitch, not to call a Jewish guy a kike, and to promote equality of the sexes, but that has been weaponised by the very bigots, usually conservative (Liberal Party voters) who don’t want to stop calling a black guy a nigger, calling a gay guy a faggot, calling a woman a bitch, calling a Jewish guy a kike and who don't want equality of the sexes. 

Being against political correctness seems to be straight out of the conservative playbook now. 

How dare you accuse me of the behaviour of which I am guilty. It’s a fucken outrage. 

Then they throw in some shit about free speech and the goodness that was to come from political correctness has been sucked out of it by the always terrible conservative forces.

“People are scared to say anything.” Is the next piece of nonsense conservatives bang on about, which seems to appeal to a lot of people. I’m not really sure why? I think it is just laziness, in the end. Or is it that people are generally scared in society. Change is frightening to many people. Although, despite what conservative forces would have you still believe, political correctness is no longer new, would hardly now be considered ‘change.’

Intolerant progressives, the conservatives squeal. The only thing progressives are intolerant off is conservative bigotry.

Now the conservatives seem to think they have free reign to bang on about political correctness and cancel culture as if it is quite removed from stopping the intolerance that the conservative forces feel they are entitled to continue to display. It really is backwards, it is a masterstroke by the conservative forces, but backward none the less.

Of course, political correctness also removes the patriarchy from top position replacing it with equality, which is a great sticking point for all the old male dinosaurs who have power and don’t want to relinquish it. And for so many of the female conservatives who you’d think would know better, who’d want better.
