Do we really need political correctness?

[el22]

I mean, if something is false, the worst thing you can do to it, is to show its falseness.
Saying that it is politically incorrect can’t make it more dismissible than its falsity itself.
If, on the other hand, something is not false, than it should not be censured.

It might not be very wise to say it all-the-time/in-the-face-of-anyone, but at the very least it should be on the table, and maybe time after time we might want to remind ourselves why it is not very wise to use it more frequently.

I think we don’t really need such a general-purpose term/policy which can (and has) be hijacked to be applied at arbitrary things.

What do you think about this?

Confession:
Yesterday, when a new user in her message implied about the non-political-correctness (of some content) of this forum (in a good sense, however), I became aware that not only I was not aware about it, but I don’t really have such a thing as a politically-correctness-sensor incorporated in me.

So, following the wisdom that “safety is numbers”, I thought I better try to convert as much as I can in my religion, than being attacked time after time as being politically incorrect.

No we don't need it.

[The Lawspeaker]

No.. we don't need it as it undermines the constitution, our own national character and the political and social discourse. It institutionalises hypocrisy.

We don't; Jews and immigrant minorities need it as a shield to pull off their schemes. In the long run it artificiality weakens ethnic bonds and cultural interests of the majority while enhancing those of the minority.

And if you would take that shield away.. they are without any protection and we can take back our country.

What some people consider correct, others consider false. In the case of "politics", there is no such thing as correct, because politics is mostly a matter of opinions and beliefs. Politics rarely deals with science or fact.

No, and Stefan brought up a good point with the Jews. Jews do control public-opinion. There is a new kind of political-correctness as it seems, 'anti-Islamification' in other words. A lot of right-wing (crypto-Nationalist politicians) are railing against Islamic immigration YET they are only serving their Jewish masters. They have a tow-line where any non-White immigrant can be integrated yet they are also against Nationalist parties such as the Jobbik for being too "extreme"... maybe because their party leaders have named the Jew. This is dangerous, as is any form of political-correctness but this shows how much detrimental influence Jews do have over public-opinion even if it includes steering Nationalists to support Zionist political-parties.

Ever since 1945 the entire Western world has gone bust.. But we must remember the term "racism" was created by Jew Leon Trotsky in 1917 as a term to undermine and smear traditionalists and those who love their own people and do not accept non-Whte immigrants / invaders.

I know very few people in real life who actually are politically correct behind closed doors.. most of them pretend to be that way in public or simply keep their mouths shut, but if you were in private with them and ask their opinion on something, that's when you find out how they really feel.

I believe in respect, not political correctness. But the one aspect of political correctness that drives me up the wall is the "self esteem" movement, as some call it.. that you cannot tell people when they are a failure and need to try harder. This is the same principle that makes us have to tell everyone they are special and beautiful in their own way, even when it's not true (i.e. when we have to tell fat people "beauty comes in all shapes and sizes").

[Sikeliot]

And now they also have a name for calling people out for slutty behavior.. "slut shaming". As if the biggest amount of shame brought onto slutty individuals is not done by themselves with their behavior.

[arcticwolf]

No. It distorts reality and institutionalizes stupidity.
