Oldspeak forgotten, a heretical thought, should be literally unthinkable, at
least so far as thought is dependent on words."

Attempts at 'ennobling' might be also mentioned here. cleaning lady =
Domestic engineer. Garbage truck = Waste Management Vehicle.
One with 'Handicap' becomes one with a 'Challenge'.

Counter Sexism; an actress is now an actor. spokesman, spokesperson
And so forth..

However in more modern times, the PC concept is being used as a mark of
noble persecution. The ridiculous thing that genuine clarity must bare up
under.

Rush Limbaugh has made a lucrative living off of this. Others have
followed. No powerful, PC, oppressive 'liberal press' (a PC term, imo),
no Rush and no Rush clones.

The Origins of Political Correctness
An Accuracy in Academia Address by Bill Lind

Variations of this speech have been delivered to various AIA
conferences including the 2000 Consevative University at American
University

Where does all this stuff that you've heard about this morning - the
victim feminism, the gay rights movement, the invented statistics, the
rewritten history, the lies, the demands, all the rest of it - where
does it come from? For the first time in our history, Americans have
to be fearful of what they say, of what they write, and of what they
think. They have to be afraid of using the wrong word, a word
denounced as offensive or insensitive, or racist, sexist, or
homophobic.

"Politically correct" just means in line with some ideological
dogma. The term has become so fashionable that it has
become the tool of ideologues wishing to enforce their own
political correctness. Meet the new boss, same as the old
boss.

I'm disappointed because I don't think the article got around to
defining "political correctness" as the thread title implies. The PC
movement is simply a movement directed at eradicating the concepts
of cultural, class, and race by attempting to drive distinctions of
culture, class and race out of consciousness through a form of
"see-no-evil" denial. Deny it until it goes out of existence, or at
least out of personal and social reality.

Topaz is a moron. Likely Topaz and you ironically have some inherited
retardation. Stuck in some stone age groove as the world around
evolves. It's not even worth deconstructing the babbling.

You're too stupid to realise that you be the next on the chopping
block...

Keep chasing the dragon king tooly.

HTH.
