from Dave Rubin’s book Don’t Burn This Book
In the 1980s, we laughed at the stupid, new, Politically Correct language. We’re not laughing anymore. Would we have laughed had we known the Communist origin of the term “political correctness” and its purpose to control thought as well as language?
In his article “The Historical Origin of ‘Political Correctness,'” Jon Militimore explains the forced cultural sameness, as explicitly approved by the Communist Party, silences and controls. Adhering to politically correct speech means limiting oneself to politically correct thought, the OPPOSITE of embracing diversity.
Think for yourself
Leftist slogans and campaigns shackle words and ideas. They threaten physical, professional, and social harm for straying from the pack and writing your own story. Does that sound like the right side to choose? The good guys?
“And if we don’t say something, then we’ll get what we deserve, which is something far, far worse than what we’ve got now.”
Dave Rubin in Don’t Burn This Book
Say something. Politely waiting for the angry hippos to settle down is not working.
