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.
