Are you a thin skinned ninny ?

[TestMangler]

A long time ago, back in my early contracting days, I had the pleasure of working with this proper 'saffer', complete with Dutch diamond mine heritage.

On his first day, there was a team of us sitting having lunch and one girl was fascinated to hear first hand from this bloke, what South Africa was like. He preceded to explain and then went on to describe the family home, saying that his family had a lot of dogs. This girl asked if his family bred dogs, to which he replied, "No, it was to keep the f*****g n*****s out of the grounds". Cue an onslaught of food being coughed/spat all over the table. Some in righteous indignation, some of it in amazed hilarity.

Still makes me laugh, just thinking about it.

It is interesting that PC is deemed a reaction. Reading your words it is more like a punishment that we are all taking for the minority of racists and bigots that you describe. Like punishing the whole class for the behaviour of one individual.

So instead of engaging with the people with the attitudes that should change, the left get hold of a cause and exploit it in order to impose the sanctity of their views upon everyone else. They then hold the platform and dictate the narrative to the point where any dissent (such as laughing at humorless prats like you) is made out to be a sign of racist or homophobic behaviour.

Just like climate change. If someone denies that the client is changing then they may be fairly called a "denier". But the left have hijacked climate change to again impose their will on the rest of us. Thus they have extended "denier" to include anyone that questions not just the facts but the prognosis and narrative of their argument - which of course is to pour more money into "green activities, climate change research - not problem solving, as the last thing they want is for the problem to disappear and last but not least capitalism bashing which by proxy means removing our freedoms.

You are seemingly unable to construct a cogent line of argument without resorting to flights of paranoid fancy. Why?

Wasn't it "nig-nog"?

Terrible programme though - not because of the racial slurs, but because it was just a terrible programme

Yes it was and yes it was.

You will now be branded a racist and made to confess and atone by a bunch of ugly, humourless lefties while we 'dictate the narrative'.

Or not.

There's only a few votes in, but it looks like the ninnies have it.

I might have to tone down my jokes a bit

Hang on a minute.. Ah there you go. 5 more votes.

Where did the term 'political correctness' even spring from ?

In my day, we called it 'Spazzy Poof Talk'.

TM you are such a Jooooeeeyyyyyyy

Being politically correct is just about having good manners.

Political Correctness is a technique for placing a received opinion beyond any discussion or argument, by enginering the language (so that expressing a counter view is difficult), gagging the opposition, and using fear based techniques to prevent debate from taking place. In PC culture, only one view is available, legitimate or allowable, and dominates all. The punishments for having any counter view are severe.

Sometimes people think that Political Correctness is their friend. Perhaps because it is used to promote a view they agree with. Political correctness is nobody's friend. Not left, not right, nobody.

I have made the point about exploiting a situation to impose control on people it is how religions work, it is how the the climate change "movement" works, it is how the Green party work and it is how political correctness works. Jeremy Clarkson takes the p*ss out of these people and he ridicules the sanctity of their "beliefs. This is why people like you despise him and why people like me like him.

HTH.
