‘Political Correctness’ mostly beaten-up, but is there a grain of truth? : Comments

By Tristan Ewins, published 6/12/2018

On the other hand parts of the self-identifying left these days have in many instances distanced themselves from class politics instead embracing identity politics and liberalism.

//Those who lived through the national sozialist era of 1930's Germany would disagree.//

Sorry, are you trying to claim that the Nazis arrested people for not being PC?

So how come they put all those gypsies and gays and Jews and so on in concentration camps? That doesn't seem very PC. Wouldn't a PC concentration camp lock up the SS and have the Jews keep guard over them?

Toni, I think you mean, the Jews would connive and scam up some way of getting the SS to guard themselves, then the queers and the gypsies to do the menial jobs like cooking and cleaning and so on, all along the Jews would be charging them all under labour hire laws, as the Jews would explain it was a privilege to be working for them, because they were the 'chosen ones'.

Toni Lavis,
I deliberately didn't want to bring racism into this but you couldn't resist to twist the argument & did.
In National Sozialist Germany people were so hemmend-in by PC they could not even trust their own siblings or children because of this infringement on freedom of speech just like PC is now.
Only this morning I helped a mate move his boat when I had to correct him when he said 'just a poofteenth more". I told him that he should refrain from saying that as it was so totally un-PC.
I suggested he say "a gay bit more" instead.
Hopefully PC is on its way out but what will the pseudo-intellectuals dream up in place of it ?
Already some of these idiots are haggling about refraining from mentioning the sex of newborns & that we should refer to them as "Theybies".

Individual, I shouldn't worry about what the next lot of looneys are going to excrete on the world.
Whatever it will be, I am confident that there are enough of us out there to extinguish them.
I cannot emphasise enough the need for pro-active action in defeating these mentally, delusional looneys.
PC IS a disease with unprecedented power to destroy a populous through the very use of words during a seemingly innocuous act of discussion or communication.
It is a fact that PC is a medium that, if adopted and employed in the manner it is promoted, is an untruthful language and therefore will convey an untrue message.
When used in a discussion or debate, it will pervert and alter the end result or conclusion.
The title itself contains the basis of it's own downfall.
'POLITICAL' Correctness; this means it is something 'other' than correct.
There can only be one interpretation of CORRECT.
So it is that by introducing a 'type' of correctness it is trending away from correct, and therefore towards in-correct.
Once you start down the path of incorrect, your end game is in fact a LIE at it's most extreme.
And so it is that Political Correctness is actually a lie.
Or at least, it is promoting lies.

Gosh, I'm so sorry for pointing out that Nazis imprisoned people on the basis of race, what an awful person that apparently makes me.

//In National Sozialist Germany people were so hemmend-in by PC//

Again, this seems to be entirely at odds with any source I've ever come across that gives information on the Nazis.

Do you have a link or something we could look at? Or is this one of those things you've made up all by yourself?

Toni Lavis,
Unfortunately those links have passed on. They were people who lived through this elitist nonsense, my fokls included. Just like the young of now now will in 60 years tell of the insipids of the Left.
