Americans Strongly Dislike PC Culture

[Mac1958]

The PC Culture instigates the slow erosion of public discourse and individual initiative.

That's the point.

Authoritarians know that if you control the language you control the debate. Keep your target on the defensive and you can avoid the issue at hand.

It's the opposite of liberalism. These people aren't liberals.

if you truly support free speech then you must defend PC speech......if you have a right to say **** PC then they have a right to say "PC ALL THE WAY"....else you are no better.....

`
I tolerate PC speech but will not defend it, especially to satisfy your opinion of what it is or isn't.

 

[Windparadox]

if that was the norm, there would be a few who would stand with a raised fist.

`
So what? Isn't that a salute?

"I tolerate PC speech but will not defend it, especially to satisfy your opinion of what it is or isn't."

Spoken so civilly!

I have no idea what your opinion of PC is.

I do know that MOST people have different opinions as to what PC means.

My idea of PC merely means "be nice to each other"

It appears you have a different opinion.

Dare I even call them double plus ungood?

Orwell meant 1984 as a cautionary tale whereas these dolts took it as an operating manual.

 

[Mac1958]

If this is true, why is it that those who are so quick to leverage PC are also so willing to personally insult, attack, belittle and mock those who dare to disagree with them?

Does your "be nice to each other" rule not apply to them?

You obviously haven't read through the replies where there are a plethora of different people giving their own definition of what PC is, one no better than the others, including yours. I stick to the more commonly understood version;

"The term political correctness (adjectivally: politically correct; commonly abbreviated to PC or P.C.) is used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. Since the late 1980s, the term has come to refer to avoiding language or behavior that can be seen as excluding, marginalizing, or insulting groups of people considered disadvantaged or discriminated against, especially groups defined by sex or race. In public discourse and the media, it is generally used as a pejorative, implying that these policies are excessive." - Source​

You are of course free to define it in any way that fits you.

...."According to the report, 25 percent of Americans are traditional or devoted conservatives, and their views are far outside the American mainstream. Some 8 percent of Americans are progressive activists, and their views are even less typical. By contrast, the two-thirds of Americans who don’t belong to either extreme constitute an “exhausted majority.” Their members “share a sense of fatigue with our polarized national conversation, a willingness to be flexible in their political viewpoints, and a lack of voice in the national conversation.”

Most members of the “exhausted majority,” and then some, dislike political correctness. Among the general population, a full 80 percent believe that “political correctness is a problem in our country.” Even young people are uncomfortable with it, including 74 percent ages 24 to 29, and 79 percent under age 24. On this particular issue, the woke are in a clear minority across all ages".... Source​

Hollywood and the entertainment media are the ones behind pushing the PC culture. This is followed by a heavy hand from politicians and others to forcefully conform to a new order. However well intentioned as it may seem to be, I don't like to be forced to do, think or say anything. Some things are common sense; don't say hurtful things to people. Be kind to people. But when it comes to forcing me, or anyone else for that matter, to accept things they don't agree with in the name of political correctness, that's going to cause blowback. The election tump is one example of this.

I may lean left but that hardly means I'm going to roll over for PC, especially if I feel it's being forced.

Don'r make excuses for racial slurs & bigiotry.

Of course not, they're Cultural Marxists, just like RealDave who threw out the "racist & bigot" card in the post right above this one.

Democrat Leader Forced to Resign For Taking a Knee to Pray and Standing for Flag | Todd Starnes



"The new chairman of the Allegheny County Democratic Party in Pennsylvania was forced to resign over a social media post that declared, “ I stand for the flag, kneel at the cross.”

“I’m not ashamed of my patriotism, not one bit,” Marine veteran Mark Salvas told television station KDKA. “I fought for this country. I think I have a right to have a voice and be patriotic.”

“We have a zero tolerance for sexual harassment or racism of any kind,” state Democratic Committee Chairwoman Nancy Mills told the Tribune newspaper. “I think Chairwoman (Eileen) Kelly made the right decision once she was aware of the issues.”

Salvas said he believes football players have a right to protest, but he refuses to apologize for his personal stance on the national anthem.

“I stand for the flag, I kneel for the cross,” he declared.

“No apologies,” the reporter asked.

“Not at all. Not at all,” the former Democrat leader replied.

Salvas said party leaders were also upset over an item his wife posted showing support for a police officer accused of killing an African-American. Salvas said they had known the police officer and his family since the officer was a toddler.

“The have been there for us in hard times, and my wife and I felt it was necessary to be there for them because family backs family,” he told the television station.

Rep. Ed Gainey (D-PA) accused Salvas of offending African American voters.

“To put that up on Facebook was, to me, insensitive, also to African Americans, who, as you know, have backed the Democratic Party for quite a long time, and everybody knows that it was insensitive,” Gainey told KDKA. “If you’re going to be executive director of the Democratic Party, you have to be sensitive to things like that.” "

If I am breathing, I will be voting.

Political Correctness is not half the problem as identity politics.
Identity politics is dividing this nation into many factions, also known as tribalism.
All of this is encouraged by the establishment who very much want to keep Americans divided and fighting each other rather than paying attention to the real enemy: Corporatism. WHich has now wholly corrupted the federal government and the media.

View attachment 222545

so, corporations are inherently evil? evil and they want to destroy the country? without the country corporations could not exist and shareholders would lose their money. Your real issue is envy and jealousy of people who have more than you do. Why cant you admit that?

What, are you on drugs or something?
Please point to where I said all corporations are evil, and inherently so.
After not being able to do that, please convince me that our government is not corrupted by the larger corporations and their interest. To a point, that they absolutely now represent them more than us.

here is what you said
"All of this is encouraged by the establishment who very much want to keep Americans divided and fighting each other rather than paying attention to the real enemy: Corporatism. WHich has now wholly corrupted the federal government and the media."

feel free to correct it if you misspoke, otherwise own it.

Ok....so where in that do you find that I am saying all corporations are inherently evil?
Are you unfamiliar with the term Corporatism?
Let me help...

Cor·po·rat·ism
ˈkôrp(ə)rəˌtizəm/
noun
noun: corporatism

1. the control of a state or organization by large interest groups.

I fully understand the definition of corporatism. You implied that the government was corrupt because of corporate control. I think it is corrupt because to the greed of the lifetime politicians who are milking the corporations and the taxpayers. What we need is term limits, age limits, and income limits for all elected officials. Corporatism is the result, not the cause.

I agree with all of your measures, only I believe it is a mutual corruption...better word would be collusion between the two.

if you have a right to say **** PC then they have a right to say "PC ALL THE WAY"....

else you are no better.....

Ok. Clearly you don’t equate PC with clamping down on free speech. I do. People have a right to SAY “PC all the way”. They don’t have a right to force others to curb their speech to support that mantra.

See how that works?

Say Trump 2020 on World of Warcraft forums and you paid subscribed account will get perma banned for a first ever infraction.

Say Hillary 2020 and genocide racist white people and you'll become a community moderator of World of Warcraft General Discussion forums.

Exactly, I've already pointed out very early in the thread that it was the ******* KGB under Stalin who brought PC culture to America. There's nothing liberal about international socialism.

And people who constantly call the Democrats, liberals, are very much mistaken. And they seem to be completely oblivious to how ******* stupid they look when they do that.

Let me test you....
How do you feel about straight up asking Blacks and Mexicans to be less criminal, have fewer babies and be less dependent on good American taxpayers?
Does that scare the shit out of you or make you feel uncomfortable?
If you pretend you didn’t see this post I’ll understand.

Millions of whites committed crimes.
Most mass shootings are comitted by whites
The financial melt down cause mostly by whites
Most wars the US got into was ordered by whites.
Most politicians and top counts in this country are white.
The ***** grabber is white
The nazis are white
The mafia are white
The priests that molested kids are mostly whites.
But keep blaming mexicans and blacks.
