#language #war #cartoon #comic #humanrights

Insult Bloat IN THE '90s, IF SOMEONE FROM "THE LEFT" TRIED TO USE INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE, THEY WERE MOCKED AS "POLITICALLY CORRECT." ‘90s person: WE LIVE IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Man in bowtie: PC! THE TERM EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH "THE LEFT." Man: I SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE. Right winger: PC! WOKE! ENEMY WITHIN! THEN MANY IDEAS THAT HAD BEEN WIDELY ACCEPTED AS BASIC VALUES BECAME DEFINED AS "LEFT WING" AND THEREFORE "PC." Hegseth: "THE DUMB, POLITICALLY CORRECT WARS OF THE PAST... HAD RESTRICTIVE, MINIMALIST RULES OF ENGAGEMENT." FIRST PERSON TO EVER CALL IRAQ WAR "PC" NOW, EVERYTHING IS "PC" (OR "WOKE") EXCEPT FOR THE CHAOTIC WHIMS OF ULTRAVIOLENT MAN-BOYS. Iranian woman: PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! Young man in red hat: OH, STOP BEING SO YOU-KNOW-WHAT!

To be honest, I’ve never got what’s so wrong with ‘political correctness’.

even from the beginning, using “politically correct” as a negative just meant “I’m upset I can’t openly be racist.”

It's a disaster whenever Political correctness is overly abused by some SJWs.

However, it's a disaster when everything right wing don't like got marked as PC too.

I was there & saw it first hand. The right didn't like women saying they didn't like guys they didn't even know calling them 'girl, honey, babe'. They didn't like Black men saying 'don't call me boy'. They didn't like gays saying 'don't call me fag'

So they consulted their marketing people & had George Bush the First call all the people who listened a nasty name

I think PC has gone so far it'stime for it to do a 180. Bigotry and hate are now politically "correct"
