An Orwellian term used by self-righteous hypocrites hiding behind a cloak of morality. Wake up. Political correctness controls the narrative by shaming and suppressing. It forces upon us the “one true” ideological orthodoxy. It eliminates decent and makes people lie and self-censor their words. Stand up. We must allow others to speak and voice their thoughts. Some might be stupid, so let’s expose their faults. Some might be outrageous, so let’s pause and defuse. Some might be hurtful and mean so let’s self-reflect and steel ourselves. Speak up. Political correctness leads to sameness contrary to the individualism it pretends to protect. It is a road into slavery. First the slavery of your mind and later slavery of your body.

Open dialog and discourse instead of laws and restrictions which put chains around words.
