How the Right Invented Political Correctness

It's like they want to address us directly:

theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/30/political-correctness-how-the-right-invented-phantom-enemy-donald-trump

"As Trump prepares to enter the White House, many pundits have concluded that “political correctness” fuelled the populist backlash sweeping Europe and the US. The leaders of that backlash may say so. But the truth is the opposite: those leaders understood the power that anti-political-correctness has to rally a class of voters, largely white, who are disaffected with the status quo and resentful of shifting cultural and social norms. They were not reacting to the tyranny of political correctness, nor were they returning America to a previous phase of its history. They were not taking anything back. They were wielding anti-political-correctness as a weapon, using it to forge a new political landscape and a frightening future.

The opponents of political correctness always said they were crusaders against authoritarianism. In fact, anti-PC has paved the way for the populist authoritarianism now spreading everywhere. Trump is anti-political correctness gone mad."

How the right gave an appropriate name to an insidious political current that wanted to move in unmolested.

Oh the shame

Is there any british newspaper that isn't utter trash?

Its the guardian dude.... my older brother reads it daily and I avoid him like the plague now

Fucking insufferable libshits will not own up to anything.

fpbp

>populist authoritarianism
>populist anything
Can this meme die already? Leftists claiming they want what's good for the people and then using "populist" as an insult

Dont worry comrades. The pendulum is already is swinging back to the left.

Post communist society is just a question of time.

Everybody make sure you watch this. youtube.com/watch?v=04wyGK6k6HE

I don't need to read this article, sounds like its trying to say PC isn't real, lol at that dogshit. Bubbleboy author. Not worth my time. Let me guess though, white people be evil and racist? And Trump be Hitler?

nah fuck off back to gulag

I read this at work.
It's mental gymnastics at its finest.

They just refuse to accept that leftist political correctness exists, and contend instead that the right has nevertheless managed to ride an anti-PC reaction in spite of the fact that, by their own argument, there isn't anything to react against.

It's like the Platonic ideal of the strawman fallacy: refusing to acknowledge that your opponent has an argument at all, let alone a coherent one.

...

Thanks, will do.

bump for "holy fuck can we please just kill the left already"

the rightwing ones are shitty for other reasons

fpbp

Why? I am loyal to my ideology. What you said doesnt make sense.

>vague and ever-shifting nemesis
That's a great way to describe the liberals. Spot on.

>all campaign draw Trump as orange
>when you want to imply he's oppressing "minorities" draw him white as snow
Shit tier propaganda desu, step it up, Jews.

>The opponents of political correctness always said they were crusaders against authoritarianism. In fact, anti-PC has paved the way for the populist authoritarianism now spreading everywhere. Trump is anti-political correctness gone mad.

Yes, yes. "Political correctness" never existed. People are just reacting to something that doesn't exist. Even though there's a gigantic political swell and we're seeing the biggest political shift since WWII, rest assured this is prompted by absolutely nothing.

Don't listen to the people who are upset.
Don't listen to the voters who changed their stance.
Don't listen to new political movements.

They're all lying. FAKE NEWS. FAKE NEWS! Just listen to the media. We can explain everything.

You see, there's nothing wrong with the way things were. Just go back to the way you were. There's nothing to be upset about. Buy more newspapers. Watch more Daily Show. Do what you used to.

Just trust us. Would we lie to you? You used to trust us.

>implying you won't be sent to gulag for having interacted with nazis on the internet

>Trump is an evil genius

>Trump is a dangerous idiot

Pick one already left wing press!

i neve did :)

down with the populists, up with the optimates!

>theguardian

The paper that can't even push out half a mil back home.

Very important opinion here guys. Better listen up.

>daily record going up
whats their secret?

Maybe the Financial Times.

trump only spoke out about political correctness after the press kept shitting on him for saying shit like "illegal immigrants" and posting black crime stats on his twitter. now the press is turning around and pretending like trump wanted to make anti-political correctness a rallying cry from the start.

It's amazing how incredibly stupid and arrogant the leftists are.

They do nothing but project, they are totally incapable of any introspection or self-realization.

It would be sad if they weren't so god damn obnoxious.

The Spectator?

>vague
kek

>They do nothing but project, they are totally incapable of any introspection or self-realization.

That's what I enjoyed about this article so much. It's pretty long and yet there is not a shred of self-awareness.

Hearing people complain about 'politcal correctness' is fucking annoying though because it's essentially just bitching about where the O-window is. Our job is to push the O-window with memes, not just bitch about its current location

pc being hated = people become more rightwing

numbskull

>Political Correctness if FAKE
>The Alt-Right is REAL
The Left's psyche has been completely shattered. At some point, within 30 days of Trump being sworn in, you will see a Big Lib paper/blog write an article about how White Males are an oppressed minority that needs to be included in the Big Diversity Tent.

>If we send everyone to a gulag, we won't have any more inequality!
:^)

'pc' doesn't exist. It's just a list of shit that's acceptable to say. If everyone was right-wing then we would have invent a new list if shit that's acceptable. Railing against PC doesn't make anyone more right-wing, PC disappears as we shift the discourse with memes

you know its sad when the best liberals can do is try to paint their opposition as liberals

its like they know they have become cancerous fuck holes but wont stop being cancerous fuck holes

>Cultural and social norms are shifting to make it so you can't say certain things anymore

Libcucks are such overdramatic faggots.

The difference between something being widely socially acceptable and something being politically correct is that the latter has implicit threats (social, economic, political, physical) in it. And a significant difference here between the left and the right is we will report people commiting actual crimes; the left will try to get people fired, jailed, socially shamed, and so on for things like not actively supporting feminism / Black Lives Matter or saying your name is Hugh Mungus.

Fucking hell I am struggling just to get past the first paragraph. This is just nuts. Liberalism is a hell of a drug.

The yellow bar going up after 2009 is the Evening Standard, it started going up when a Russian bought it and turned it into a freesheet.

(((Weigel)))

Didn't the left create the "alt-right" as the boogeyman?

Not as far as I can tell

go back to /r/socialism, fucking shill

>FAKE NEWS! We need tight control over news sites!
>BIGOTRY! We need to control social media!
>What? No, no one is trying to stop you from saying anything.

That's true in a way but it's also a globalist paper

I can't imagine being a right-wing media outlet works very well in the UK when everytime you put out an article about muslims or immigrants, the cops come knocking at your door for hate speech.

Typical lefty semantics argument bullshit to confuse people and make them prime fodder for forcing their ideology on.

People were getting sick of political correctness before Obama even sat his first term.

Their delusion has become so severe they are now denying all reality.

Trumps persuasion level is amazing.

The torygraph?

kek trips of truth

He broke them.

Now they have his permission to die.

>the Guardian
Stop that.

...

It's actually quite nice to watch them grasp for straws and deny the obvious.
Means that they can never again win because they don't even understand why they lost in the first place.

Do socialists and communists alike ever consider that if you give enormous government power to rebel group or group that is "seizing the means of production" that said group will naturally use that power to become an overbearing totalitarian regime and that there's nothing you can do to stop that?

fpbp

the only way forward for a paper with a moddy or right-of-centre spin is if they publish ridiculous-to-the-point-of-acknowledged-satire leftist posts to show how ridiculous the left really is these days.

Plausibile deniability + satire =/= no knock at the door by PC billy clubs and their local council backers

>guardian

>Implying Trump isn't Populares with his fix employment get people a job rhetoric

How do we avoid the same trap?
I don't want to one day become such a faggot like them.
If I am not capable of introspection and realizing when I am wrong I want someone to shoot me.

Maybe I am doing it already. Fuck me.
The idea that I might have the same brainwashing used on me honestly scares me.

All the meltdown we've witnessed since Trump's victory can be classified as mass hysteria. What's interesting is the global scale, though.

The truth is that these imbeciles actually believe their ideology is an objective fact and thus everyone else must be wrong.

It's a faux sense of righteousness fulled by an equally frail sense of superiority.

>'pc' doesn't exist.

The Spectator is pretty damn dank.

>The article was headlined “‘Alt-right’ online poison nearly turned me into a racist”. The explanatory subtitle continues ‘It started with Sam Harris, moved on to Milo Yiannopoulos and almost led to full-scale Islamophobia. If it can happen to a lifelong liberal, it could happen to anyone.’ The author of this piece is…. ‘Anonymous’. Who knows why. Perhaps the author reflected that one day they would grow up. Or perhaps they are one of those ‘composite characters’ left-wing journalists plead when they’re caught making stuff up. Or maybe the piece was authored by someone at the Guardian who wanted to hide their face. At any rate, at the end of the article we are assured that ‘The author was not paid a fee for this piece’, which is slightly more than the normal going rate for freelancers at the Guardian these days.

The Guardian defends political correctness (weird that they'd defend a phantom like this):

The fact that you actually question yourself means you are probably safe.

Lefties depend heavily on unquestioningly following their dogmas. The moment they doubt any of it, the whole house of cards collapses onto itself.

We had one lefty author as the perfect example of it
>keeps shilling for lefty shit most of his life
>among other things, stuff like "guns kill people"
>Nice happens
>his kids are not afraid of Trucks
>after some digging he finds out that it's because they concluded from stuff like "guns kill people" that obviously it must have been the truck who killed all those people, not the Islamists driving it
>realization what he has done kicks in
>writes one final blogpost, then kills himself

> Hey follow my politics or I'll call you racist and get you fired.
> lawl dumb right-wingers. Theres nothing crack down on your free speech.
Really makes ya think.

Really makes you think

>Invented
>Mao literally codified the term into law

>Make a boogeyman
>Claim said boogeyman is repsonsible for creating a boogeyman that is now real
Yeah I'm sure this tactic will work. No flaws there. These retards have dirtied left-wing politics so badly.

Faggot

We already went past doubling down. Maybe even tripling down. How much further can they go?

There's no such thing as political correctness

>Typical lefty semantics argument bullshit

Arguing semantics is an even bigger red flag for a lefty than their lingo.
They are, at least subconsciously, aware that their argument doesn't hold water, so instead of dealing with the actual argument of the other side - which would be tricky because it could be logically conclusive - they just attack the way in which the argument is presented.

Actually, that is pretty much what PC is trying to achieve, too. They try to limit your vocabulary and acceptable arguments to such a degree that you simply cannot present your point of view anymore without violating some conversational rule they made up, at which point they can just drop out and avoid being BTFO because clearly you are a racist and not worth debating.

they don't know how to bail out, so they'll just keep going

Leftism/communism is a window into the mind of the jew. It is anti-rational and anti-order and beauty, in other words satanic. Trying to analyze it will only lead to frustration and rage for a European with an ordered mind but it's seductive for the lower races aND women. The only way to effectively fight it is through mockery and force.

Rational argument has no real effect against these (((people))) because it's primarily a spiritual battle.

Ben Garrison described it the best

I'm not sure how they ever thought wording every statement like an insufferable cunt would do would win them the game in the long run.

All you need is to accidentally target the less indoctrinated part of your own target audience with that derisive drivel once and you lost them.

>the Left has no self-awareness
Wrong. This piece is purposeful manipulation, not just ignorance. The Left very rarely operates in good faith, so it's safe to assume villainy rather than stupidity.

>how do we avoid the same trap
You'll always have someone around here who will call you a faggot if you start acting like a faggot. That's how you avoid the same problem.

It's because the left is obsessed with success. Everything has to play out exactly how they imagined, there is no place for making a wrong decision. Your resume has to be completely flawless.

Ironically that just ends with them fucking up at every turn because they are too afraid of failing to even take the chances as they prevent themselves.

And they are also incapable of admitting when they fucked up, they always either dindu nuthin or it was totally a force outside of their control that led to the defeat.

>Trump has also continued to cry PC in response to criticism. When an interviewer from Politico asked a Trump transition team member why Trump was appointing so many lobbyists and political insiders, despite having pledged to “drain the swamp” of them, the source said that “one of the most refreshing parts of … the whole Trump style is that he does not care about political correctness.” Apparently it would have been politically correct to hold him to his campaign promises.

DON'T MAKE TRUMP DO WHAT HE SAYS

YOU WILL BE ACTING LIKE A LIBERAL POLITICALLY CORRECT BITCH IF YOU MAKE TRUMP FOLLOW HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES

MAKING TRUMP FOLLOW HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES IS BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT YOU LIBERAL SJW SHITLORD

TRUMP IS ALLOWED TO LIE TO ALL YOU FUCKS AND GET AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE TO QUESTION HIM IS TO BE A FAGGOT SJW PC FUCKER

>Holy fucking shit Sup Forums got so played

Any article about this? Or at least a translation of his final blog post?

This woman is fucking retarded. The true behind the increase in popularity of economic populist (the left may call them nazis movements or demagogue movements) is that the larger sector of society in the western world hasn't been benefited at all from the last 30/40 years of free trade on a world wide scale, they have seen their wages lose purchasing power year after year, they have seen manufacturing die, they have lost their jobs, etc etc and what did they get? The change to buy electronics from companies that are pocking most of the profit from them by making those products in China or Taiwan or somewhere where there are no labor laws.

Liberal elites like this retard, don't like to remember that free trades have completely destroyed the middle class, even when they destroyed the middle class in the fucking cities and now even the "degree" jobs are lacking since more and more people are pushed towards getting a degree to get a job. But yeah Trump victory is about political correctness or whatever, fucking idiots.

>Pendulum swinging back left

It has swung left for 70 odd years, user. Batten down the hatches.

>disaffected with the status quo and resentful of shifting cultural and social norms. They were not reacting to the tyranny of political correctness, nor were they returning America to a previous phase of its history. They were not taking anything back. They were wielding anti-political-correctness as a weapon, using it to forge a new political landscape and a frightening future.

The couldn't be more wrong. I want the left to believe this, badly.

I don't remember his name, so it would take a long ass time to find anything about it since the media obviously didn't mention his motivation, that only became apparent when you read the blogpost. So I would have to scour every article mentioning the words "author" and "suicide"

It didn't say much more than my greentext anyway.

What's even more astounding is that these modern progressives want to institute heavy socialist policies that will end up bankrupting the very middle class that needs those jobs to pay for it, causing a cascading effect that will basically give the very elites they criticize massive amounts of power.

They are the very establishment they criticized before, and are to high on their own pride to admit it.

Bitching about political correctness is in it self a way to move the overton window to the right. Bitching about bitching about PC is useless and probably commie as well :DD

>The couldn't be more wrong. I want the left to believe this, badly.

Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself.

Dude, you have the right to free speech and the government has the right to punish you for it. :^)

Douglas Murray is pretty based. I was reading that article only yesterday. He is always destroying Muslims on Islam.
