Political correctness

  • Language of wokeism
  • Politically correct speech
  • Enforcing non-offensive speech
  • Incorrect speech
  • Language hygiene

Nature

Political correctness is speaking without offense.  The message being conveyed is that you don’t have a right to express yourself if certain people or groups don’t like or agree with what you are saying.

Claim

Because it is impossible to speak without the risk of offending someone, and we are guaranteed a right to free speech, offending someone is a fundamental right. Here are other fundamental rights on the path toward learning and understanding: 

  • Making mistakes
  • Misspeaking
  • Being wrong
  • Changing one’s mind
  • Learning from others
  • Hearing what someone has to say
  • Reading what someone has to write
  • Making up one’s mind
  • Having an opinion that differs from the crowd

At stake here is nothing less than the future of whether we live in a closed or open society.
