Political correctness is probably the single most important reason Donald Trump is the president of the United States and the GOP controls most of Washington. They controlled the House of Representatives until 2018, but lost it after failing to deliver on their promises.
The only thing it took for Donald Trump to walk to the Republican nomination was that he cleverly refused to play by that game. He was deliberately outrageous. The populist swath of the electorate is so tired of political correctness that it elected a moron as president to be relieved from it.
Political correctness is a MORAL SYSTEM. It is a moral system that atheists and secular people have latched onto since they gave up on Christianity. The SJW is like a fundamentalist, extremist or a fanatic who takes this moral system to its logical conclusion. It has become their identity in life. It is why they take to the streets to fight with populist identitarians.
Elizabeth Warren is how they sound and look to everyone else in America. It is why Sean Hannity will not shut up about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It is why the GOP latched on to Antifa as their boogeyman in the last election cycle to remind wavering voters how much they hated those people. No one wants to be ruled by these miserable people with their witch hunts and Inquistions.
If you dissolve political correctness, you will find that a lot of warring tribes agree on major issues. The populists and progressives agree on health care, student loans, universal basic income, infrastructure and a lot of other issues which could be tackled. Political correctness is why they fight over purely symbolic things like Confederate monuments. Living under it can drive people literally insane too like we saw in New Zealand and Pittsburgh.
Politically speaking, the people who benefit the most from political correctness are mainstream conservatives. Millions of moderate White voters supported Donald Trump and the GOP because the alternative was, well, living under what is in essence woke sharia.
Note: Political correctness should be recognized as a religion. The way you defuse religious conflict between European Christians and woke progressives is though religious tolerance. SJWs need to be told to settle down and stop trying to destroy the world around them in order to force their confession on everyone else.
How do you do it though? How does one engage the fanatic in such a way as to snap him out of his fanaticism?
I’m going to write some articles about it
You’re really doing important work on this topic, as with your post a couple of days ago. PC is a fanatical, fundamentalist religion; it’s as hysterical as the Salem Witch trials — and we’re now the witches. Thank you for your work.
Every poll shows that everyone is tired of political correctness, except for radical progressives. Even non-whites hate it.
Not just atheists and secularists. Mainline Proteatantism and most of Catholicism, and even to some extent evangelical Protestantism, also follow PC as their religion. The leadership certainly do. The content of publications like “Christian Century” is mostly indistinguishable from “Everyday Feminism”.
There are even movements working to get homosexuality accepted in evangelical Protestant denominations. Those groups are led by phag pastors, unsurprisingly. But they’re apparently meeting with success. As are the tools trying to promote feminism in churches, which not only means women ministers, but exalting female control of households and single motherhood. I won’t go into a church anymore. Anytime I get near the doors, I can smell brimstone.
“If you dissolve political correctness, you will find that a lot of warring tribes agree on major issues.”
Wrong. If you dissolve it without some degree of separation what you will get is ‘race-war-now’.
The roots of the political correct language and hypocrisy are deep and born out of dire necessity. …
“..the vast majority even of ‘white’ Americans have that curious form of faith which the classical schoolboy defined as believing in something which you know is not true. This is not necessarily corrupt; its fundamental end is respectable- to help ‘Americanize’ the nation. The foreign observer is amazed, simply because he does not realize the dire necessity which impels it”
see “Is America American ?”…An essay about immigration, about the politics and economics of it, written in 1920 by Lothrorp Stoddard ( the guy with “The Rising Tide of Color”) .
