The Twisted Motives Behind Political Correctness

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Brandon Smith of Alt-Market.com,

As I have confessed in the past, in my early years I found myself active in the Democratic Party and the general liberal methodology. I had no understanding of the concept of the false left/right paradigm. I had no inkling of the dangers of globalism and central banking. I had no concept of decentralization or non-participation. I had never even heard of libertarianism. I knew only that George W. Bush was a criminal (and I was right), but the problem went far deeper than the GOP. I was astoundingly ignorant of the bigger picture.

However, what I did have going for me was an almost violent sense of nonconformity. I hated collectivists, yet I found myself surrounded by them while working within the leftist culture. It was the insanity of self-proclaimed “liberals” that taught me the true nature of the facade of politics. When I realized that the Democrats were essentially the same corrupt entity as the neoconservatives, everything in my life changed.

One aspect of liberalism with which I am now very familiar is political correctness. I didn’t understand it at the time, not until I stepped outside the cultism of it and looked in from a wiser place. It always bothered me, but I couldn’t quite grasp why until later. Then, it hit me like a revelation. Political correctness was not a political ideology. No, it was a religion, a full-fledged spiritual con, a New Age ghetto of frothing mishmash that is sociological voodoo. And the leftists were eating it up like steak night at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

These people were rationally retarded. Every idea they proposed they merely parroted from books and articles they had read. They were like malfunctioning automatons trapped in a cycle of discontented social criticism. Their desperation to invent meaning in the midst of their irrelevant lives made me feel ill. If they could not find a legitimate cause to champion, they would create one out of thin air and defend it relentlessly, regardless of how shallow it truly was.

When I outline my analysis of economic destabilization within the United States or I write about the rise of the police state, I am driven by a fundamental sense of concrete concern. There are indeed real problems in the world, swirling in a storm of obvious factual conflicts. But the warriors of the PC culture don’t see any of it. Rather, they fantasize about injustices that don’t exist, trespasses that are ultimately fictional. They imagine themselves champions of some greater purpose that, in the end, doesn’t matter.

Recently, I read a news story about a “transgendered teen” in Maine. When the boy was in the fifth grade, he decided to dress as a girl and demanded to use the girl’s bathroom at his public school, despite having the biological apparatus of a male. This story was international news, folks! Why? I can’t say, except that the mainstream media have made a point to focus on “gender optional” issues as if they represent some kind of civil rights uprising.

The issue perfectly illustrates the disturbing nature of politically correct culture.

Teachers at the school did not deny the student the use of restroom facilities. In fact, they allowed him to use the teacher’s bathrooms to avoid any confusion. The Maine Supreme Judicial Court, on the other hand, had other ideas. It ruled that the school’s refusal to allow the boy to use the girl’s facilities constituted a violation of the State’s anti-discrimination law. The ruling has been heralded as a massive victory for the politically correct narrative.

Now, let me make one thing clear: I could not care less about this boy’s sexual orientation (if he even has one). I do think the very idea that a fifth-grader at about the age of 10 is sexually conscious enough to develop a sense of gender dissuasion is absurd. Children who haven’t even experienced puberty yet, proclaiming they are transgendered? Utter nonsense. I find it far more likely that the student’s PC-obsessed parents influenced him to come to such a decision despite his naivety.

That said, a person’s sexual proclivities are not my concern. In fact, I have no interest whatsoever in the infatuations of any individual. That is a personal matter. I do not judge such people on their attractions. I do, though, judge people on how they handle their infatuations. What happens when someone wears his sexuality on his shoulder like a fashion accessory? Why is that even necessary? Is it not rather mentally backward for any person to base his public persona solely on his carnal compulsions? Do I dance around on the sidewalk bellowing to strangers how much I love the curves of women? Do I require a sociopolitical legal apparatus to vindicate my existence? Do I feel the need to shame gay people into publicly embracing my straight man’s libido? No, I do not.

The PC culture demands that we, as individuals, openly accept the sexual orientations of anyone and everyone; otherwise, we are labeled prejudiced monsters. It is not enough that we object in a logical manner. No, we must fall to our knees and thank the stars for the very existence of gender chameleons.

In the end, the psychological gender position of any particular person does not overrule his biological features. A child with a penis is a boy. Period. He will never be a girl. Ever. Not without surgical aid. And even then, he will never have the ability to give birth, which is the very hallmark of femininity. (Sorry, feminists, but that’s how it goes.) A boy, no matter his mental orientation, does not belong in a girl’s lavatory. The privacy rights of the girls outweigh the gender confusion of the boy. If I were a girl (why not play some gender games since everyone else is), I would beat the living hell out of any boy gallivanting in a dress in a bathroom I was using and make sure he never dared come back. And, by extension, if I were a rather mischievous boy with an aptitude as a peeping tom, why not dress up in a tutu in the hopes of getting a glimpse of the forbidden while being legally protected by the State?

The warped conflicts that arise, though, are not the creation of the child in question. A fifth-grader has no concept of gender rights or political correctness. This issue was a creation of the PC cult and its acolytes. These people don’t actually care about the children they involve in their legal dramas. They exploit them, with every intent to abandon them once they have chiseled their agenda into the gray matter of every American.

What truly motivates these people? Why do they do what they do? I think my experience with leftists makes me a well-positioned observer of the psychology of the culture. Here are the hidden thought processes I have witnessed while dealing directly with the PC army.

PC Elitism

One of the unfortunate side effects of religion is that proponents often use it as a means to feel superior to others. I have seen it in Christianity as much as I have seen it in any other belief system. It is the primary reason why I refuse to subscribe to organized and establishment-sanctioned spiritualism. Religion should be a personal experience first and foremost, not an easy way to fit in with the collective. Communing with others who share one’s beliefs should be secondary. Hypocritically, politically correct adherents often criticize Christians for their collectivist elitism while suffering from the same problem themselves.

PC culture allows participants to pretend as though they have some greater understanding of the world, an elevated knowledge of life that makes them superior to the uninitiated. It is important to understand that when a person pursues the methodology of zealotry, he doesn’t do it to make the world a better place; he does it to feel better about his place in the world.

The politically correct are so violent in the assertion of their ideals because they crave the subjugation of the mainstream and a recognition of their “rightness.” They don’t want people to “accept” their beliefs as tolerable. They want people to adore their beliefs as supreme. They want every man, woman and child to reinforce their ideals without question.

The malfunction of this philosophy is that zealots are never finished. They must always find new ways to feel superior to others. So they continuously engineer new taboos and new sins, no matter how ridiculous, so that they can forever look down upon the laymen. Because of this, there will never be an end to PC law. It will go on forever, labeling numerous social interactions and stances as “aberrant” — never satiated and never satisfied.

PC Futurism

The young are always searching for ways to feel wiser than the old. This is just the natural way of things, at least in America. Now, I know from ample experience that age does not necessarily denote intelligence. I’ve met plenty of idiotic people who had decades of time to learn from their mistakes but didn’t. But the young, many of whom lack time and struggle, have a terrible tendency to either pretend that they have “seen it all.” Or they pretend that the very atmosphere of the day somehow gives them a greater insight than generations past. The reality is that most of them know very little of import. This attitude comes from a philosophy called “futurism” (popular with the Nazis and the Soviets), which holds that all the beliefs and discoveries of the past mean nothing compared to the beliefs and discoveries of the present. This ideology is alluring to the young, because it gives them a way to feel intellectually dominant over older and more “ignorant” people who are “behind the times.”

Political correctness is basically an appendage of futurism. By labeling elders as social bigots and products of a barbaric era who don’t understand the “lingo” of the PC elite, liberalism draws in and collectivizes the fledgling left. Younger generations are given a cultural avenue toward high priesthood, a right of passage usually reserved for the aged. They get to skip ahead past all the trials and tribulations of life and announce their deep awareness of the so-called greater good.

The values of forefathers past become archaic scrawlings of racist and prejudiced cavemen who could never appreciate the “brilliance” of today’s academia. The inherent freedoms of natural law that have existed since time began are nothing more than obstacles to them, standing in the way of a new and better world where they have somehow outsmarted human instinct and centuries of history.

PC Collectivism

The very foundation of political correctness is solidified in a desire for the perpetual reinforcement of one’s worldview. PC people need every other person around them to sing the praises of their pure virtues. If I happen to disagree with the idea of gender bending, for instance, as some kind of socially persecuted subculture that needs overt government protection, then I am, of course, labeled a hateful Neanderthal. If I stand in opposition to the concept of victim group status in general, in which the state demands that designated “minorities” be given special treatment regardless of the status of the individual, then I become a racist political fossil ignorant of the bigger picture. You see, if you disagree with PC culture in any way (even if that way is rational), you cannot win. To refute political correctness is to refute the god of the New Age; and to refute their god, even with concrete logic, is blasphemy.

This kind of blind faith in political correctness lends itself entirely to collectivism. The average person begins to think that without a viable appreciation of the philosophy, he may be left out or cast aside. Most people do not know how to function without the approval of others. Therefore, even if a father happens to have a healthy skepticism over the idea of a make-up wearing fifth-grade boy waltzing into his daughter’s school bathroom, he is likely to keep his mouth shut, because to speak out would be a risk to his position within the group, or the community.

PC Control

The prevalence of PC philosophy is not subtle. I have always found it interesting that political correctness seems to consistently support the demands of the state. Our system smothers children with it in public school, our workplaces are rife with the propaganda for fear of lawsuits and colleges are veritable breeding grounds for the PC oligarchy. Politically correct culture goes out of its way to constantly test others to make sure they are also true believers. This is exactly what is going on in the following interview with Jerry Seinfeld, who, to his credit, dashes the nonsense to the ground.

 

The truth is some discrimination is healthy, and some discord is needed for a society to remain balanced. As long as we don’t allow our disagreements to end in the physical harm of others, then those disagreements are our natural-born right. If you are a racist (this goes for non-whites as well), that’s fine. Just don’t act out your racism in a violent way around me, or I will have to put you down permanently. If you have a distaste of homosexuality (or asexuality, as seems popular nowadays), then whatever, I don’t care. You shouldn’t have to have organizations like GLAAD (formerly the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) in your face attempting to force you to put on a smile for gaydom, coordinate man-on-man heavy-petting protests in your favorite restaurant (Chick-fil-A) while you’re trying to eat a damn sandwich, push boys into the girl’s bathroom, or trying to shut down your favorite TV shows because the stars happen to share your views (“Duck Dynasty”).

Now, PC proponents will argue that the very existence of bigotry does harm to society as a whole, and it must be educated out of individuals. Frankly, I see that kind of utopian fascism as a far greater threat to society as a whole than bigotry ever will be.

Look at where we are today because of the PC nightmare! We have a Nation on the verge of industrial and economic collapse, partly because companies are forced by law or persuaded by government subsidies to hire people with victim group status, even if they are unqualified, while ignoring highly qualified people who just happen to have lighter skin. We have children not even old enough to discover their own inherent character being clinically diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” by a psychiatric community of quacks, which conjured most PC terminology out of thin air. We have boys who are told that they are stunted for acting out their natural male impulses and girls who are told that true femininity is weakness and that they should act more masculine. We have a mainstream culture that coddles and infantilizes young adults, young girls who think promiscuity is the key to womanhood and that motherhood is disgusting (which I find rather ironic), and young men who have no testicular fortitude and no clue how to take charge of their own lives.

The American family unit has been completely destroyed. We have women who are ashamed to set aside careers to raise children because feminism frowns upon “breeders” who bring down the whole gender. We have men who abandon their children and refuse to take responsibility. And we have a weak-minded population addicted to collective affirmation and unwilling to think outside the box for fear of being shunned and shamed. Honestly, I can’t see a single redeeming quality to political correctness other than the fact that those people who espouse it do so loudly and obnoxiously, making it easier for me to identify and avoid them or to take special note of them as an obvious zombie threat in an America swiftly declining into mundane oblivion.

Yes, all well and good.  However, your stint with the liberal, PC crowd helped to build a leviathan against which we must all now fight. 

Good on you for your awakening.  How about a straight up apology for helping to put us in our current situation?

Not really weak, considering he points out that all groups can fall into the fascism of zealotry, and lays out the PC version of zealotry pretty thoroughly.  I thought the article was more balanced than anyhing else I've read on political correctness.  If you have a stronger example, why don't you post it.

I'm proud to say that I am one such person, joined the Libertarian Party while I was still in high school (although no longer a member since it became co-opted by the Neocons), and have NEVER voted for any Republican or Democratic political candidate (when I did vote, which is now in the past).

Good for you.  Most of us were not lucky enough to be exposed to libertarianism when we were young.  It's a bit silly though to hold it against someone for waking up "later" than we personally deem acceptable.  Authors like Smith and others at Zero Hedge educate more people per article per day than all of us combined over a lifetime.  They don't need to apologize to anyone for anything.

The pendulumn will swing Brandon, the PC didn't even exist when I was a child, and perhaps its all you have ever known, but all is cyclic.

When the pendulumn swings it will be 180 degrees to today's bullshit.

I think this PC stuff is especially hard on the likes of Brandon cuz he never knew good times,

Shit when I was a kid it was all good, lots of the girls pulled trains every night and nobody ever called it rape,

We got fucked up and stoned every fucking day, ... and nobody gave a shit, everybodys older brother had tons of heroin, coke, and you name it and they never even saw it missing.

Best of all we all had a our DAISY BB-GUN power rifles and we killed everything that moved. Shit we even carried our BB-GUNS to school like real men on our bikes and nobody gave a fucking shit. :)

I pity the likes of Brandon that have never even lived freedom.

I knew freedom as a child, and now I'm still living it, because I escaped the USA long ago.

Political correctness is the metastatic cancer of liberty that first appears to be a case of Affluenza, but when finally diagnosed as the mortal foe that it is, may be too late to cure. Its victim is the truth, an essential ingredient to freedom.

Discard and repudiate it in any form you find it, and speak truth to power at every opportunity.

Good article, but the author forgot probably the penultimate form of political correctness: criticizing/making fun of/questioning Jews.

Seth MacFarland learned this a while back when he brought up the gool ol' "Jews run Hollywood". Make any joke or mention about Jews and BOOM you're under the microscope of every watchful eye in the room. Even conservatives, supposedly against political correctness, will be some of the first people to immediately smack you down for making any disparaging or joking comment about Jews.

Now I will say that not all Jews are evil. In reality, it's only a handful of banksters/1%ers that insidiously warp the system in their favor. But you can't help but consider that there are some serious PC issues when it comes to Jews.

So the reason the traditional nuclear family structure in America has become undone is because of generic PC and not because society has encouraged people to pursue their own personal goals especially women and technically has allowed us to control our biological imperatives especially pregnancy & sex?  Amazing how the most basic ironies are lost on Brendan.  

His turds are more polished now but a polished turd is a still a turd.

You want to go back to a traditional nuclear family - you have to ban no-fault divorce laws federally which got adopted like wild fire after CA enacted it in '69 and outlawing all birth control medications. Those two things are the reasons that divorce rates soared in the 70s from a relatively low level even in the late 60s.  It wasn't welfare payments.  It certainly was 'PC culture' 

It was laws that were adopted to allow greater personal freedoms for individuals by making divorce readily possible for the first-time in American history and medication that allowed for the first time for woman to have sex and not get pregnant/control when they got pregnant.

It's pretty obvious that if you live FAR from the USA, you can see why the USA failed its children and fucked, them drugged them, and destroyed their future.

*

It goes back to PARENTS take care a child, and child cares for his parents, not the gubmint.

It goes back to granny & grandpa do daycare and NOT the gubmint

It goes back to strangers don't  take watch your children,

It goes  back children are loved 24/7 until they have to start working at 12-14 years of age :) or continue higher education ... but loved all the time, so they want to have loving familys themselves.

*

So american PEOPLE fuck and make baby's but nobody can care for the baby's while they slave at shitty jobs, in 90% of the world the woman/man takes the kid to work with them, if they don't have family to care for them.

*

Most important is kids are taught when young, we take care of you now, you take care of us later,

The entire human eco-system in the USA is-was destroyed by the CORPORATE WELFARE STATE, and STATISM.

Fascists don't want normal happy familys they want miserable fuckheads who will become mercenary soldiers.

Where are you getting this information?  Hitler pulled children form their parents and placed them in camps for indoctrination.  Exterminated Jews, the handicapped and mentally retarded.  Placed children on the front lines at then end of the war when there were no adult males left to fight.  Sounds like a real family man.  What?  Was he misunderstood?

Another 'libertarian' who wants to control when people have children, what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedroom, and degrade single parents.  Despise social conservatives in general because they want to regulate other people's lifestyle and social behaviors through legislation even when their opinion is the minority opinion in society.

Kinder, Kuche, Kirche ("children, kitchen, church") was a policy widely advocated by the Nazi State.  Nazi gov't enacted a law in '33 that gave a loan to financial contributions for couples that got married and allowed couple to accrue payments through the birth of each child up to 4 children. 

Hitler constantly argued that for the German woman her “world is her husband, her family, her children, and her home" starting in '34 and a numbe of other policies and recognitions were created for mothers as homemakers and mothers throught out the 30s.

There is a huge issue about the lack of ability to speak and disseminate alterate viewpoints in the public sphere but that is largely due to the consolidation of media corporations (there will only be 6 if Time Warner and Comcast merge) and the increasing corporatization of public views.  

If the worst casualty of PC culture is that people aren't socially allowed to use the word 'KIKE' and 'N@GGER' in public anyway that is a ridiculous argument to make about returning to less of a PC culture.

Sure. I'm half Italian.  'Wop' 'Dago' 'Guido' etc.  The only thing that has changed is that people just don't say it in public anymore and Italians have generally been in the US in large numbers for more than a century now and have been culturally assimiliated and accepted.

Political correctness is odious in large part because it suborns double standards.

Apropos of that...

Why Isn’t There a European-American Legislative Caucus in the California Legislature?

Because double-standards. Note that this new Caucus really regards advocating for a foreign government, and is ethnically based - by a group which not only has wildly disproportionate power relative to their numbers, they enjoy such power-privilege, that merely discussing this power is forbidden in major media and even in comment sections across the United States - the land of "free speech."

 

Cute.

Right.  Which is a neat trick.

I do understand and agree as to "white" identity, actually, as it is artificial - I do appreciate those arguments and I have no interest in "white identity".

But not as to a particular European ethnicity.  For example, the right of the Swedes to keep Sweden Swedish should not be subject to debate, and can not seriously be deemed 'racist'  - yet this notion has been very successfully advanced throughout Europe.  Often, frankly, by people whose "homeland" lay far outside that particular nation state.  Barbara Spectre being one example, and Alan Shatter another, among a great many from the same group, which denies to European nations what it demands for itself.  Worse... it demands an "exclusive right" to certain land while also happily claiming a right to live in Europe or other nations, as they choose.

Now I'm not Irish or Swedish, but see the same people from the same tribe doing the same thing in a number of countries in a way that certainly suggests a worldview if not necessarily a coordinated international effort.

I simply reject as absurd the notion that pointing out what is abject irrationality and hypocrisy is "hate" or that speaking, factually, about disproportionate group power is only when applied to a certain group.

It's bullshit, no matter how the people who follow Godwin's law are too stupid or hypocritical to realize that it is bullshit.

 

Although, I suppose it's a losing battle.  People are too goddamned dumb to simply think about language, logic, and power.

The problem you have is simply the substantial evidence that Bolshevism was disproportionately Jewish in a vast land where they were a tiny minority... 

Secondly, when presented when such evidence, what you will do is merely dismiss them as "anti-semitic".  That is, true statements regarding disproportionate power is smeared as anti-semitic.

 You simply assume a priori that Churchill to Catholic and Orthodox priests, to Russian writers sent to the Gulag were all just lying out of hate - which is a great way to never actually consider any evidence to the contrary of your existing position.

 

What's the point of discussing history with someone whose only interest is in whitewashing it?

I don't hate you, pal. Not even close.  I'm just tired of the bullshit and double standards.

i read most of everything you posted trader1 (took a couple hours)...all compelling, detailed and thoughtful arguments; and, up until a short time ago, i bacially agreed.  now i see clearly that yesterday's 'progressives' are today's tyrants.  and inasmuch as the main thrust of all arguments presented in the links is that their opponent's positions are myopic and their evidence is drawn from too limited a time/data set, i would politely submit that the same argument can be made against the progressives.  likewise, progressives have consummately confused the distinction between 'freedom from' and 'freedom to'.

moreover, conceding that neo-reationary's (whatsoever that newest of labels may specifically mean) obvious and identifiable flaw is its tendency to frequent and bloody resolutions of tensions and imbalances amongst its competing factions; i'd say that a greater flaw lies in progressiveness's profound misappraisal of the human condition it seeks to stabilize, which is endemically inimical to stabilization.  in that, the germ of its ultimate and catastrophic failure is sown into its mission, ethos and philosophy (more properly, theology).  in other words, instead of the traditional spats and feuds that function to stabilize the progress of man over the long sweep of millenniums, progressivism is packing the powder-keg so tightly (within so narrow a time frame (relatively speaking)) that a grotesque and frightfully terrific explosion of all the the tensions suppressed beneath the pressure-cooker of 'fairness' will blow everything we value to oblivion.

i don't think that an ideological program stilted on the advent of an ephemeral petro-economy (which is slipping fast down the dangerous side of diminishing returns) is sustainable, worthy of what's noble in mankind nor justified by dubious statistics.  for example, the pieces you cite go on endlessly about the flattened murder rate, and they at the same time forget to factor the astounding increase in prison population (that's just one omitted influence; or, should i say, nullifying element).

if we are sniffing at the blossom of progressivism in full-bloom, i turn my nose away; i not only reject it, i'd like to chop it down, dig up its roots and burn the whole stinking, sickly and suffocating vine.

i guess a world of total deceit; targeted assignations; blighted liberty; wholesale and absolute invasion of privacy; industrialized prisons; institutionalized theft; thuggish authority (at every goddam level...from the fuckin DMV to the presidency and everywhere in-between); subduction of your will and opinions; fear and divisiveness masquerading as politics...on & on & on & on...is worth the exchange, so that, well, some savages in some godforesaken shit hole can munch doritos, stitch together your gaments, produce goods at slave labor wages for the architects of this progressive agenda, erode strong societies to advantage these self-same savages such that they may 'vote' with the impress of their thumb-print, send their sons to our shores (such that they may form insular communities bent on avenging all we've done to keep their home village suppressed in squalor...of course, it was all our fault from the beginning).  and then, all the while, inculcate all in a morass of inverted nonsense.  well, to my mind, progress ceased being progress somewhere in the early sixties.  

since then we've had some great music and have to it marched in a befuddled parade towards a looming precipice.

i don't necessarily want something old; i want something better...no matter what form it may assume.  progress is not some vague and protean concept; it must contain within it some meaningful import to those who 'should' benefit from it...not the arbitrary assignations of a bunch of think-tankers and policy-wonks peddling a new religion/morality.  may they rot in hell. 

when 'progressives' cease in their efforts to destroy the very societies that afford them the luxury to pontificate and luxuriate in their masturbatory dogmas, i may come to again respect them...till then, game on -- and it's zero-sum (again, i learned my lesson).

i'm not angry (though i often come-off that way) simply resolved,

You might be interested in the parasitic alien energy creatures known as Archons (Nag Hammadi texts) or Flyers (Carlos Castaneda).  Read the first link.  It's a short but terrifying glimpse down the rabbit hole:

http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/09/carlos-castaneda-the-predat...

http://www.freetheearthlings.com/

Also check out the book Wetiko, in which Paul Levy describes a sentient mind virus of contagious evil which is turning the whole world into its petri dish.

I think we are witnessing the emergence of a higher-order mind.  Evil has long since reached a critical mass of interconnectedness and become sentient.  This parasitic overmind's neurotransmitters are dollars, bullets, child abuse, tears... whenever one act of evil or violence inspires another, that is one of its synapses firing.  Whenever a new institution is created in a smoky backroom deal, that is the birth of a new neuron.  Its bastion is the financial system but it has seeped out into the culture.  A tentacle in every brain.  The infestation is so bad that most people now see evil as good and good as evil.  The average sheep has Stockholm Syndrome.

I think the Illuminati are aware of this meta-entity.  They call it Lucifer.  Don't let the name scare you.  There is actually nothing supernatural about it.

Or maybe the Illuminati have been hived by the Greys?  This article is a bit out there but worth a read if you are interested in the subject.  I suspect you are, because you hit the nail on the head.

Excellent article on a very revealing topic -- revealing because it makes clear the sinister bullying that is at the heart of the PC leftist.  It is about power under the guise of decency, just as public health is about power under the guise of compassion, and gun control and the police state are about power under the guise of public safety.  The common element is the power over the individual, the ultimate, insane goal is the utter anihilation of individuality which is the essence of totalitarianism.

" In the end, the psychological gender position of any particular person does not overrule his biological features. A child with a penis is a boy. Period. He will never be a girl. "

Uuuh ... just one point. Some people are REALLY "malformed" . 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex

 

And I perceive "political correctness" as 2 different tendencies which easily mix :

1) the result of scientific knowledge, that forces us to abandon those prejudice/stereotypes to which we tend to cling to, maybe because they are very useful in maintaining categories/order/cohesion in a primate society. In this respect we all tend to have problems, at a moment or another (depending on our prejudice), with "political correctness" .

2) the result of some hypocrisy that tends to be expressed by people who don't want to admit some facts as they are, and who know in their own mind that they lie. In this respect it seems that we all tend to be, at a moment or another, "politically correct" .

Well, for example, when you look at this link :    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex  ,

you realize that, instead of what the author of the article wrote :  " A child with a penis is a boy. Period. He will never be a girl. " , you will have to admit that the reality may be slightly more complex, and you will have to modulate the way you express and position yourself .

Hermaphrodites are not that biologically common, and have little to nothing to do with the point of the article.  The example given was a "transgendered" boy, and few transgenders are legitimate hermaphrodites, until they get cosmetic surgery done, and even then, a transgender male who gets his machinery removed is still basically just a male with a fake vagina.  He'll never have the chemical/biological markers of a woman, only hormone pills.  He'll never be able to give birth to a child.  He'll never be fully feminized.  He will never be an actual woman.

Possible, I' m not sure the author made a distinction though.

 

" .... few transgenders are legitimate hermaphrodites, until they get cosmetic surgery done, and even then, a transgender male who gets his machinery removed is still basically just a male with a fake vagina. "

I don't know. But reading this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_hermaphrodite

I tend to come to the conclusion that some hermaphrodite really don't seem to have a definite gender. They are apparently very few, of course.

Anyway, my point was to express the fact that I perceive scientific discoveries as possibly an incentive to some form of "political correctness" .

Perhaps in the case of hermaphrodites, though I think that's a bit of a stretch.  Such situations are not going to be the cause of the majority of the conflict over PC statism.  One or two biological anomalies do not vindicate the philosophy itself.

You are probably right . But, I have to tell you that the first time I learned about hermaphrodites, during a tv broadcast, I was really troubled, even though I knew they were only a tiny minority. I can really say that my view of how "life/nature" can operate was altered, one way or another. No matter how rarely that kind of phenomenon tends to happen.

Bravo!

take a bow, Brandon!

i'm going to be very candid for a moment.

not only did my thinking track along a trajectory similar to mr. Smith's, i believe i've gone a step further.  you see, i came here toting a like-minded (re. ambivalent) attitude with respect to 'homosexuality'; thinking, earnestly, that 'they' simply sought tolerance and acceptance...the facts couldn't be further from the truth.

before i elaborate, i'd like to take a moment and diagnose the queer in a generalized fashion; since it seems that some have taken it upon themselves to do the same for janus -- only, in a very specific way (and i very much like to toy with that impulse).  anyway, homosexuality is perhaps the most emotionally mangling of all common psychoses.  it is an inversion and negation of the individual's relationship to the world around him/her; it is fundamentally self-destructive, misanthropic and, at its innermost, homicidal.  its inner conflict is absolute; and this manifests itself in emotional and sexual attractions to that which it both desires to kill and is driven to indulge. 

now, the Apostle Paul had this to say on the subject in his epistle to the romans (seems Paul knocked his shin up against the machinations of one or two faggots in ole rome):

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

my point is, one cannot think of these people as benign get-along-charlies; they are on the fuckin warpath.  they want scalps.  they want your children.  they want our government.  they want media.  they want churches.  they want every last single thing...and, for the most part, they have it.  you people have absolutely no idea the degree to which the homosexual has permeated every level of authority in the western hemisphere.  they are messianic in their crusade; and they will stop at nothing.  they have no families to tend to.  they are typically very wealthy and well connected.  they are legion.  and they are on a mission.

what, pray tell, is this mission.

to convert the whole world into their caliphate of fagdom....that's what.

you see, they are irrevocably conflicted; and they believe, like zealots of every order, that if they subdue the whole world, and have fisting, anal-beading and sado-mascichism taught to every ten year old, they will at long last come to some inner-resolution, and finally show the world that it was they and not them that had the problem.  then maybe they won't feel the desperate pangs of crippling shame, doubt and self-loathing.  

then, maybe then, they will themselves believe that what they do isn't somehow revolting, vile, disgusting, perverse...it's just so goddam nasty!...and tragically destructive (to all involved). 

but, amoica, ring dem national cathedral bells for sanctioned sodomy!  you should be so fuckin proud.  first gay president!  and no chic-a-filet in boston! 

and so i return now to my point.  it seems to me that these people aren't fit for tolerance.  i've learned to think of MY interest as it relates to MY 'group' (thank you for the lesson, amorica...i believe i got it); and so i must, and especially for their, but mostly my, own good, force these virus-loaded creatures back into the closet...face or ass first -- i don't really care.

i advocate this for two reasons: 1) i'm sick of them.  the gay-cool factor is way-past played.  i haven't heard anything worth listening to from a queer-bait in so long i can't remember.  i see them, and i can just feel the moralizing sanctimony start to do its nauseating majik.  2) the only thing for which i value a faggot is his/her creativity.  before they became so main-stream, much of what they produced was of estimable merit...now, now that it's a non-stop homo-pageant on every channel all the fuckin time, well, wierdos, you're more boring, banal and pedantic than 'full house'.  go back to the closet where you belong...and call me when you've managed to muster something worth sharing.

faggots, listen to janus and listen real good: the New Age will have no tolerance for that which is elementally caustic, cursedly malignant, deplorably distasteful, universally unacceptable and, on top of all that, hostile to that which gives it life to begin with.  you bettah check yo'self, bitches.

i look forward to the debate, panty-waists...it's hard to drown-out a down-home baritone with sissified screechin.  but i'm sure you'll try, you petulant bunch a sodomites.

tides are turning (and, filthy psychos, you've been set-up from the beginning...how'd ya like dem apples?)

p.s. come after any of my sons again, and i won't be so nice about things.

i sure as shit know you won't make an argument that doesn't involve squealing, carping and emotive hand-wringing.

i'm speaking from real experience; and i'm honest when i say that i came into the experiment unbiased...now i am biased.

i shudder to think what would've happened to, say, a community in georgia or alabama had, for example, a family of two-mommies/two-daddies moved in, caused no trouble whatsoever, never made a peep, only worked and tended to their affairs and then, well, let's image one of their adopted children had been brutalized the way my son had for, say, making a disparaging comment about, say, christianity.

can you imagine the marches, laws, national media...it would be a fuckin cause du jour.

I'm more about busty Japanese girls in the 21-27 range, if I'm being honest.  I let one finger my cornhole once, but it didn't do much for me and I kept thinking about the traces of shit on her finger after.  Vagino-phallic compressions and undulations seem to fit the bill - but that's me.  If yours involve the curious thumb of some able seamen, then you are to have at it, forthwith.

I think the movie 'shaw shank redemption' pretty much nails it in the ASS.

Rumsfeld, and CHENEY didn't fuck men in the ass cuz they were GAY, they did it becaue they're sociopathics psychopaths'.

Gay sex is really about love and relationships, but this shit that OBAMA, BUSH, and HILLARY are into is about sadistic fucking control

I ain't speakin' of Ukraine or Venezuela just now, although that shit is fucked up, it seems to me that they are just fighting to achieve a different tyranny.

I just wanted to say that I 'knew' you on first encounter.  Although it is unlikely that we have physically met, it was the turn of phrase, the geographic reference, and the absoluteness of your irreverance to 'accepted norms' and your abiding knowledge of the word that identified you, unmistakably, as a friend.

Some think J Edgar Hoover kept a list of HOMO's in the USA an HOMO porn for law enforcement reasons, but we in the know, know that J Edgar Hoover was the biggest FUDGE-PACKER in world history, and the reason he tracked and had an NSA database on fudge packers going back to the 1930's was that it was really his black-book.

Essentially if you were in the 'book' and Hoover wanted to fuck you in the ass he had your file and that was  a done deal, ... so Hoover data'base was really his 'black-book'.

Now doesn anybody here today not believe that the NSA,TSA, DHS, and FBI aren't doing the same thing? Its always been been about fucking men in the ass,

GW bush was about anal sex, Obama was about anal sex, and HILLARY is about mysogny on males.

The best example I can think of is when white people flog themselves for saying the N-word and some blacks use it every other word. Double standard or what? I look at the word as meaning ignorant which could apply to anyone at various times.

I agree, drives me nuts that blacks can use the 'N' word but I can't especially around other black's, I find my self saying "This nigger and that", you know like in the movie tropic-thunder where downie jr, paints himself black and starts talking self-pity black shit and real blacks get pissed, ... but that's how it is,... strange as hell.

But then they can say HONKEY all day long and I can say HONKEY.

I prefer to hang out with real Africans of which I have many, and they have a country called NIGER, and the word NIGER doesn't mean, shit they're not conditioned to PC, its all about mind fucking. To an African man the 'N' word doesnt' mean shit, I have NEVER met an AFRICAN man who was PC, don't fucking exist, they all fuck 5+ women a day.

just the other day, i'm sitting at my table -- innocent as you please -- enjoying my clam chowder, and this adjacent table of 'caffers' orders some 'crackers' to add to their 'white' chowder...oh shit! no you didn't! 

obviously, i couldn't just sit there and accept this affront to human decency, and so i erupted: "crackers?  did you just say CRACKERS?  you caffers!, i'll have you know you're talking to a cracker!"

and then i proceeded to show-off some of the kung-fu i've learned from various bruce lee movies...it went a lil something like this:

so you see, janus is always about stamping out racism wherever he finds it.

thank God some of us take this shit seriously.

Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know.

When people are in public we tolerate each other - regardless of what we might think.  Our opinions are our own, and we have every right to have them.

 

When people bring their private matters into public spaces and shove them in peoples faces, then they incite unwanted emotions - and disturb peoples ability to be tolerant.  Bringing private matters into public spaces and shoving it in peoples faces is repugnant in the least, and illegal in the extreme.

 

That is why their is a prohibition on nudity, masturbating in public, sex in public, shitting on the street and so on - also on that list should be poncing around shouting about how gay you are, and how much you love dick, or how much you love pussy for that matter, or how you are a minority and nobody has a right to dislike you, or preaching their religion, or god hates fags - or whatever other group they might personally despise (lets face it, God is usually just fiction to legitimise peoples intolerant natures).

 

People running a business should be able to hire who they like, serve who they like and sell what they like - govt has no business invading peoples private space, and people should not shove private matters into public spaces.

In my first year of university, very late 70's, one or two non-STEM classes in logic, rhetoric, sociology and all those 'soft science' non-science courses, the professors spewed some of the nonsense that is now commonplace. This was before gatekeeper mandatory classes such as womens and minority and diversity studies. Did not exist.

It was not constant then, just one or two stupid ideas and my bullshit detector (at the age of 18) pegged and wrapped the post of the right hand of the meter. My mind instantly saw the bullshit and my internal dialogue was:

"This is nonsense and here is why. Point 1, Point 2, Point 3,..."

It's now gotten to the point that when I converse with recent University graduates ages 21-24, and certain topics are discussed, that I can bring the discussion to a logical realisation, I can see that they are 'getting the point' and then these kids reach The Wall - the point where the brainwashing tells them 'I cannot think this thought beyond this point' and their brains shut down and this is visible in their eyes. The cognitive dissonance and programming is readily visible as they tell themselves 'this thought is unacceptable'.

You can literally see it in their eyes.

I do what I can to enlighten them that most of their education was useless brainwashing and political nonsense designed to destroy their society, but they are young, they know everything, and the notion of Progress and 'the future is better than the past' means that they know better than I do, that their ideas are better than mine, that their education is better than mine.

or, quite possibly, it was around the time some thought it best to check the advance of the many scientologists...ooops, i mean religion-of-science-types...who kept proposing models, methods and programs based on our tenuous and tendentious understanding of science itself.

we had enough of that in the mid 19th...and we're still agonizing through the the collateral damage.

just because we have higgs boson ID'd; we can automatedly articulate molecules on a mass scale, isolate highly specific qualities of the same (nano shit), integrate that into another molecule so on and so forth; replicate full sequences of DNA (in less than a day)...all of this is no doubt amazing (and stupendously so); although, and all of this notwithstanding, we still do have something of a soul; and all of what we know reveals only the unsearchable breadth of what we can only grope about, as in a void.

is a religion of technology supposed to be our guiding beacon? 

and if the religion of science is to sublimate the soul into a matter of utility, separated into manageable components through 'psychology'; and technology is to further and forever insulate us against the natural environment in which we've adapted to thrive; from whence is mankind to draw his purpose for living and the basic satisfactions of life?

does a life lived to ninety (the last fifteen of which are in some institutionalized pharma-haze beneath the buzz of flourescents and the tending care of first generation immigrants) make for some measure of success in our charts and proofs of progress? 

does an iphone imbue any meaning to your life?

i suppose i should ask, what kind of 'tard' are you, buzzsaw?

i don't mean to be adversarial...but, i'm curious.

this is not to say that any/every technology is bad...they are all good if they further some aspect of humanity.  but as an end unto itself...well, i'm just not buying the materialist dialactic anymore; no matter how craftily it's repackaged.

The most dangerous ideas in the universe are the ones YOU actually believe in.

WHY ? Because those who don't like you, don't like what you have or what you stand for will use YOUR ideas against you by manipulating them.

Your only DEFENCE against this are a) Your VALUES - to know what is right and wrong and b) a CRITICAL mind capable anlysing and questioning what is happening, even when these ideas are your own.

Polical correctness is the process of a) stopping critical thinking through labelling - "your are racist, sexist, bigoted, statist, corporatist, pro-business, anti-business" etc to shut down discussion and b) The undermining of values - marriage, family, nation, society, consumption based on production, accountability and the democratic process itself.

No matter what you believe in, left or right, black or white, religion or no religion, male or female - if you lose your critical thinking and values to politcal correctness you have NO DEFENCE AGAINST MANIPULATION

I was raised on that shit, that said, some of my best friends and majority of my ex-wives are ex-lesbians, and most of my friends in my life have been gay,

Yawn.

Really?  PC is baaaad?  Who knew?  I guess 30 years of counter-arguments, jokes, insults, and insane examples from PJ O'Rourke, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, Carlin, Howard Stern, Cal Thomas, John Boy and Billy, Hollywood, and innumerable others weren't enough.  Good thing we had Smith here to tell us PC is stupid and it's still OK to feel hate in your heart. 

Waste of time.

It blows my mind that amount of idiots on here who agree that it is the emergence of the PC culture in America is the primary reason the American nuclear family has broke down.  Sadly I don't think this a fringe opinion either in society.

The article repeatedly uses straw man argumentation and an assumed ill-defined epithet (p.c.) to make false claims.

Women with children are in the workplace not because of feminist shaming, but because of the stagnation/decline of wages needed to support a family.

Laws banning discrimination based on race, religion, or sex are there for valid historical (and current) purpose. Affirmative action programs are different. Labeling those who defend government programs as "PC" hardly explains anything. No more than would labeling as "PC" those who defend military spending and deregulating banks.

etc. and etc.

But the main point I wish to make is that blaming the corruption, economic malaise, and the modern alienated individualized existence on "PC" ruining religion, family, and relations between employer/worker, the sexes, and races is wrongly identifying the source of the problems.

Any attempt to claim the solution to society's real ills is to get back to the imagined good old days and the imagined good old values when everyone knew their place is even more wrong-headed still.

Political correctness is intolerance. Socialism and Communism are throwbacks to the superstitions of primitive tribes. Never do they look for promise and progress for the rights of man or the freedom of the individual.

Rather they look to level and flatten it all back into the mud again.

As G.K. Chesterton said: “Socialism is…more dangerous than a pestilence, for in that at least the fittest would survive.”

The man who is intolerant of the views and values that other men hold sacred, who wants to “root up all the religion and civilization that made him and wash out all the common sense of ownership and honesty, would let his culture and his country be flattened out by savages from the ends of the earth.”

The United States was transformed into a nascent socialist state by the deliberate reversal of its social norms, by the creation of new norms that in effect forced it to abandon its old established norms.

Using relativism and political correctness, those who would effect socialism began to discredit all America's Christian and established norms until normality in America became the lowest common denominator of behavior.

The logic: "If norms are relative there are no norms.” Norms, then, would be decreed by the political power. By confining the individual and his self-interests, by politicizing all of society, it was the aim of the socialists to collectivize all individuals into the collectivist “common good.”

Dr. Clarence B. Carson wrote in The United States: A Bemused People (1978) in The Freeman, “The reason is not difficult to grasp. There is one norm that must be wiped out if the idea (of socialism) is to prevail. It is the norm that individuals can, do, and will pursue their self-interest.”

America's whole system of private property, of the family, even of her religion, were all buttressed and supported by the pursuit of self-interest by the individual. For collectivism to cut away this pursuit of self-interest, the whole structure of normality had to be replaced.

Here is an excerpt:

Monetary and Spending Policies to Achieve Control

That government power should be used to control and direct the economy was also established as a principle in the 1930s. Manipulation of the money supply was one of the earliest and main instruments of this control. Another major instrument is government spending and it is linked with taxation to direct economic action. Government has so long concerned itself with employment and unemployment that for most people it must appear as legitimate a government function as is the apprehending and punishing of criminals. All these ways of controlling and directing the economy have been steadily expanded and extended since that time.

The other major thrust to socialism came in the 1960s and has continued apace since. Although it, too, is political, the primary aim is not so much economic as social. This thrust is toward social transformation. It emerges as an effort to overturn the established norms as a means of changing the existing order. Legislation is mainly a framework only for this transformation.

Every norm is grist for the mill in this transformation. Indeed, it is not clear, in general, that overturning one norm is more important than another. Since all norms support the existing order, they must all be overturned or transformed. It hardly matters whether what is involved is sex, marriage, the family, the role and position of the husband, education, military authority, the authority of the President, ownership and control over property, or whatever. Every norm overturned weakens the authority of all norms.

In this sense, priority for destruction of norms may best be given to those most deeply entrenched. It is from this angle that the assault on sexual norms may be understood. Sexual norms have been long established, and would appear to be most difficult to alter. Indeed, many of the sexual norms are rooted in nature, and some of them have been surrounded by taboos. It is also the case that some of the most fundamental inequalities are sex related. It is reasonable to suppose that if the sexual norms could be destroyed, all other norms might fall in their wake.

The attack on sexual norms has been blatant in recent years. Male dominance and authority have been under consistent assault. The norm has been that the male is dominant in male-female relationships—that his opinion is deferred to, his decision final, and that he is the fiscally responsible partner in the household. This norm is supported by custom and tradition, and has been supported by religious authority. A portion, at least, of this norm has a natural basis. Normally, men are taller, heavier, and stronger than women. Women are the child-bearers by nature, and many of the skills and abilities which they have developed have been related to that role. The nuclear family, as monogamous marriage has been lately dubbed, is founded in the nature of parental responsibility, and-the desirable conditions of child bearing. The norms are threatened by what is called female liberation. Aggressive homosexuality threatens the whole concept of normality. If homosexuality is "normal" there are no norms in sexual relationships. The male dominance takes on only a symbolic, and entirely relative, significance. Parental responsibility has no foundation in homosexuality. The distinction between male and female is obliterated. Normal is cut loose from its foundation in nature. The whole framework of norms entailed in marriage, the family, property inheritance, loses its meaning when homosexuality is accepted as normal.

The Impact on Society: A Chaos of Relationships

The reversal of the norms has a devastating impact on society. Norms are to society what the fixed points of a compass are to navigation. It can be argued that norms are relative, that some of them are even arbitrary, which they may be. In a similar fashion, it can be argued that the directions on a compass are relative, as indeed they are in some senses. But it is absolutely essential to agree upon and accept them else charts become worthless, and no definite course can be plotted to go from one place to another. The functioning of society is equally dependent upon agreement upon and acceptance of a set of norms. Norms are the foundation of privileges, positions and functions within a society. When they are overturned, a chaos of relationships results. No one can any longer be sure what function he is to perform, or who has the right or authority to make any decision or perform any act.

Every body must have a head. Every household must have a head. Every undertaking involving two or more people must have someone who is in charge. Constructive activity depends upon each person knowing what he is to do. When the norms are overturned, constructive activity declines and debates and contests over authority ensue. Force tends to replace voluntary cooperation, and the strongest or most determined assert what is often enough entirely arbitrary authority.

That is what is happening in large in the United States. The norms may not have been overturned in many instances, but they have been so seriously questioned that their validity is in doubt, and there is no longer universal agreement upon and acceptance of them. Those who insist upon traditional male-female roles are denounced as "male chauvinist pigs." Those who are affronted by open homosexuality are accused of being intolerant. Those who exercise firmly the authority of their positions are charged with being dictatorial. Students would determine the content of their courses and formally evaluate their teachers. Prison inmates attempt to organize politically in order to run the prisons. Unions negotiate and enforce work rules.

What a man may do with and on his property is in such doubt that experts must be called upon to set matters right. The courts are burdened down with litigation as civil suits burgeon. Court cases are increasing in length and complexity, and no decision ever seems final as appeal follows upon appeal from whatever decision has been rendered. Interminable hearings precede all sorts of undertakings. Debates and contests over who has the right and authority to do what supersede the constructive activity by which it might be accomplished.

Rampant Confusion

The American people are bemused.

The word has two rather distinct meanings. It means "confused, muddled, stupefied" and it means "lost in thought" or "preoccupied." Americans have every reason to be confused. They have been repeatedly confronted and affronted by scandalous behavior that has gone unreproached.

They have witnessed in a span of little more than a decade (late 60s to mid-70s) the breakdown of social restraints as in the case of the public use of profanity and obscenities. They have seen the breakdown of the proprieties as they apply to female behavior.

On the day before four students were shot down by the National Guard at Kent State, teen-age girls roamed the campus making lascivious invitations to the guardsmen, shouting unprintable obscenities at them, and otherwise behaving like tramps. People have witnessed the loosening of all sorts of restraints and have felt powerless to do anything about it. The symbols of political authority—the military and the police—have been defied with impunity and subjected to verbal and physical assault.

Why would not people be confused?

And, whether lost in thought or not, the American people have been preoccupied. Better, they have increasingly occupied themselves with their own affairs and closed their eyes to what is going on with society. It is understandable that they should. The disintegration of society means that the individual can no longer rely on support in bringing reproach and discredit on those who flout the norms and proclaim their disdain for social prescription. The disintegration of society means, too, that the individual had best look to his own protection and well-being. But it also means that force will be brought to bear in more and more areas of life. The breakdown of authority is not the prelude to liberation, it is rather the precondition of the restoration of some sort of authority by the exercise of force.

Today that force evinces itself as government…the most obvious development…has been the disintegration of society and the decay of civilized behavior…”

…and in the place of that bell of liberty the iron fist of the State, the iron grip of the Socialists.
