If you remember those eleven recommendations from the Frankfurt School, you will be able identify at least one of them in each case of political correctness you see. So rather than just thinking the world has gone completely mad, you will see it's all part of a well orchestrated campaign that has been around for a hundred years.
The basic idea is to make the country wholly dependent on the State - err sorry - the Central Committee. By the dumbing down of education, the creation of huge state sector employment and large scale immigration, the left has effectively created a captive audience to vote for them.
Political correctness has made common sense a thing of the past. If you catch a burglar in your house then it's probably best to help the poor soul by carrying your possessions to the front door lest he should trip up and hurt himself and it's you that end up in court! After all, you won't get much help from the Police, who have been effectively neutralised by the fast tracking of university graduates whose only experience of life has been obtained in the liberal atmosphere of education. Probably best not to complain to them about their lack of attendance when your car has been vandalised or you will probably get a letter back from a Superintendent pointing out that vandals are victims as well! (Yes - it really happened!) And just in case any real policemen still exist, the Politically Correct Brigade has turned the Police Force in on itself by claims of institutional racism. Why not just rename them the Police Farce?
Travellers can descend upon your area, dump old cars and shit everywhere with impunity. You try doing it in your front garden and see what happens! They are allowed to bypass the normal planning controls that are so strictly enforced on the rest of us and cost local councils hundreds of thousands of pounds in court cases and clean-ups. Who pays? Why you do of course - just check your council tax bill!
Illegal immigrants are rarely deported. Those that are deported are just the more honest ones who don't know how to play the system or haven't been coached by the National Coalition of Anti-Deportation Campaigns (or Right To Remain as it is now known) which is funded by your lottery money! Oh and have you got a long way to come to get here? Why not hijack an airliner for the trip? Don't worry, we will still let you stay!
Would you like a black coffee? NO! You can't say that! It's coffee without milk and Local Authorities spend a fortune of our money on making their employees attend courses on New-speak and Diversity training!
Our British humour has suffered badly. We can't tell jokes anymore in case it's considered racist or it upsets anyone. Don't these Politically Correct people realise that the clue is in the word "joke", which my dictionary quite rightly defines as "something said in fun or jest" or "to say something in fun or teasing rather than in earnest?"
Try organising an event or trip and you find yourself tied up in the endless red tape created by the Health & Safety Executive. These people are all part of the 'Nanny State' (state control) which insists in sticking its nose into every aspect of our lives and telling us how to live it!
Just in case there is anyone left in the country that might still be enjoying themselves - Just Ban Oil will glue themselves to the road, causing people to miss aircraft or hospital appointments. And the police will be far more concerned that they are comfortable by bringing them drinks than they will about all those seriously inconvenienced. But try moving the protesters yourself and you will be immediately arrested. That is the sad state of the UK today.
But overwhelmed by their own success with political correctness, the Marxists have something else just as sinister up their sleeve so they can expand their power and control over us even more - the Great 'Man Made' Global Warming scam! Same methodology - an idea to appeal to peoples' better nature - let's save the planet - and the same way of enforcing it by peer pressure. Just watch what happens to any scientist who breaks ranks or disagrees - they get the same treatment that Galileo got from the medieval church. It takes a brave man (or a self sufficient one) to come out against these things publicly when you know your future livelihood may be at risk.
And even if it were true, the UK is responsible for about 1% of global carbon emissions. What is the point of bankrupting ourselves or sitting shivering in our houses while countries like China and India open new fossil fuel power stations every week. What will the loony left think of next? Having no-pissing ends in swimming pools?
Even Patrick Moore, (no, not the Sky at Night fellow) a founder member and ex-president of Greenpeace left that organisation when it was infiltrated by Marxists in the late 1980s. You can watch his take on the subject by clicking HERE. And infiltration of all charities and quangos stepped up a gear in 1997 when Tony Bliar became Prime Minister. Twenty five years later it seems every charity has forgotten its original good purpose in life and has just become woke.
Politically correct people can't stand reality or see that things have evolved to be as they are for good reasons. Politically correct people remind me of ostriches - they bury their heads in the sand and then proceed to talk out of the only orifice that still remains above ground.
So don't let anyone fool you that political correctness is just about being "nice to people", being tolerant and treating them with proper respect. That's called good manners. Political correctness has been deliberately designed to subvert free speech, debate and common sense, replacing these with a ruthlessly enforced set of left wing ideas. Far from being tolerant, politically correct people are the most intolerant of all people and have the worst manners. They refuse to debate subjects (as their views don't stand up to the most elementary scrutiny), preferring just to scream abuse at you.
So there you are. You now know the whys and the where froms of political correctness and its nasty effects. In each case you see, you should be able to identify which of the eleven tenets is being used to frighten, silence or confuse you.
- the creation of racism offences
- such as hate crimes
- continual change to create confusion
- self explanatory
- the teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
- such as encouraging to change gender
- the undermining of schools and teachers' authority
- such as ensuring they lose their jobs if non PC
- huge immigration to destroy national identity
- such as not doing anything about the boats
- the promotion of excessive drinking
- self explanetary
- emptying the churches
- self explanetary
- an unreliable legal system with bias against the victim of crime
- remember it is a hate crime if ANYBODY thinks so
- dependency on the state or state benefits
- the nanny state, health & safety
- control and dumbing down of media
- the BBC and SKY
- encouraging the breakdown of the family
- easy divorce
So what can you do about it? Well apart from calling it out for what it is when see a new case of political correctness, you could help some of the organisations highlighting it or indeed fighting against it. Voting doesn't seem to bring any relief. As stated, all the parties and politicians are much the same and anyway, the civil service just ignores them as they work from home and plots the downfall of any politician that dares to try and actually achieve anything.
The Conservatives may not be very popular at the moment (2023), mainly due to having so few actual conservatives in the party but you know Labour would be so much worse, having a leader who is not even sure what a woman is. We are already taxed to the hilt under a "Conservative" government but Labour's already announced spending plans would require another huge hike. We need a new party with members that have actually done something with their lives and are not afraid to oppose political correctness but with our 'first past the post' electoral system, new parties face an impossible task. So do we emigrate or just slit our wrists? It's your choice!
