Political Correctness or Political Coercion.

The content herein is largely taken from Prophecy in the News with additional annotations of my own. The link to the video source is provided at the end.

Political Correctness: the fine art of censorship, it is culturally chosen language, supposed to favour certain groups and certain ideas, and multicultural developments which are meant to be good for society. When the apostle Paul talks about 'perilous times' it translates into a sort of social insanity, which we are seeing today, a distorted and inverted understanding of morality. And today there is a prevailing censorship over our very language,  you have to be multi-culturally conscious and sensitive in order that you not say the 'wrong' thing, however this political correctness or social morality is increasingly being used to extinguish the truth and abridge freedom of speech.

How does Political Correctness develop? Some rich and powerful group identifies a problem, and then they try to fix that problem. It's not long until there’s a  movement, which becomes a social cause in which 'good works' are trumpeted as socially superior. Then within that movement you have a developing language, things you can say and things you can’t say unless you become branded as politically incorrect. This becomes a sort of social morality. The result is that those who are branded as politically incorrect become excoriated by the cultural elites and the docile conforming masses.

 With the use of carefully crafted language, a cloud of emotions is evoked, it’s nice to say this but not nice to say that, which is skilfully captured by social planners who use the language to shape society, to attractively fashion what they perceive as a problem so that it becomes  a solution. And all you have to do is speak the right language. Creating a social awareness of the problem how-ever, and then then an intellectual movement is the crucial step.

In psychology it is recognised that certain labels inevitably develop into a pejorative term if they are associated with objects or people that are predisposed to being derided by certain trend-setting groups, particularly younger generations, so new labels are periodically crafted to remove the negative connotations of the pejorative terms. An example of this: the blind become ‘visually impaired’, those with special needs become 'special people', dyslexic become ‘verbally challenged’, and so on ad-infinitum.

Now days if a famous figure says something deemed inappropriate or politically incorrect they are excoriated, and made to come crawling onto the alter of  political correctness, to repent and apologise for their sins, under the duress of publicity and sensationalism by the media puppets. What is perceived as compassion and cultural sensitivity quickly evolves into political power, because some myriad of groups have to control the language, and these organisations and associations are invariably liberal.

Philip Atkinson: political correctness is the communal tyranny that erupted in the 1980s,  a spontaneous declaration that particular ideas, expressions and behaviour that were then legal should be forbidden by law and that people who transgressed should be punished. In present day England, Islam is engulfing the local culture and traditions, but no one can speak out against it because the British parliament has ruled that Islam is a peaceful addition to the British culture and must not be criticised. Today there are also certain things that preachers cannot say and get away with it.

Political correctness is just another term for ‘miss-speak’, the language of English socialism. Designed not to extend but to diminish the chain of thought, by cutting down the choice of words, the only language whose vocabulary gets smaller every year. The vocabulary of a people guides and shapes a nation. Certain associations and groups dictate the language in the education system. They are even banning images showing women as being more nurturing than men, men as capable leaders, men are boys in active problem solving roles, this in order to create a gender neutral environment so young children are more easily able to choose to be gay or lesbian. History is revised; pioneering women sitting in wagons while men walk must not be shown, pioneer women must not be shown sewing, cooking, sweeping, spinning wool or rocking babies. These are actual directives from such organisations. These are only a tiny fraction of the thousands of directives issued everyday.

In thousands of commercials the man of the house is an impotent whiner because he can't open a jar, he can’t make something work, he can’t find the cold medicine, he can’t fix food… while his wife displays wisdom and talent and problem solving ability. In sitcoms the husband is stupid, the wife is smart, and the children are beyond their years. But the man is supposed to be the spiritual leader of the household. And then there's is always the token gay guy who is disproportionately represented in every sphere of entertainment.
