Has political correctness gone mad?

I think most people on here know how I feel about PC already but what's your viewpoint?

Has PC gone too far?
Are people getting bored of walking on egg shells?
Has the race card been pulled one too many times?

Is PC killing comedy?

 

Its killing everything. Its an attempt to control, limit and ultimately regress language- the foundation of all human interaction; society; civilization itself.

Fortunately folks are beginning to understand that and reject it.

 

Comedy was highly censored before Lenny Bruce.

Not until the late 60's did public comedy get blue.

70s to the 90s saw lots of edgy comedy and the explosion of comedy concerts and clubs.

after 2000 the oversaturation of "comedy" led to a really crappy product. a lot of today's comedy just isn't funny.

Jerry Sinefeld was not all that funny back in the day, who gives a crap if he does not click with college kids. Why should college kids give a crap who Jerry S is?

I dont hear Kevin Hart complaining

 

Yes to all the above.
However, the bigger question is, who started all this PC nonsense and why?

To begin to answer that question you must study the American school systems going back as far as 1960s when PC was first introduced. In short, it's about a planned economy, and centrally based planning, both of which are socialist/communist concepts.

Listen carefully for just a few minutes beginning at the 53:00 mark.


That just scratches the surface on the origins & reasons of all this PC conditioning that begins in the public schools and continues in the liberally controlled universities, media, and entertainment industry.

Time to wake up America!

South Park is my thing, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Norm (Probably the funniest comedian ever), Jimmy Carr and finally Mike Judge who is a true genius.

King of the hill so underrated,
I watched family guy once and realised why Americans have to take so many harsh anti depressants.

****ing Manatees

 

This social media site censors and shapes your speech per PC.

 

Yeah feeling like it's become the twilight zone. So much so, I hear they're making a new study and calling it "Unhingedliberalogy."

 

I think it's sad that society had to adopt the PC culture. Has it gone too far? I think so, yes. Walking on eggshells doesn't allow people to think and speak freely.

But I also think it's sad that hate speech is something fiercely protected. No matter the direction from which it comes.

As for comedy, if it is intelligent, it doesn't need to worry about PC. Lazy comedians go for cheap laughs - and that's where the crap comes from. IMHO.

 

Without Kramer, the Soup Nazi, and Newman, Jerry would have been just another yuppie.

 

Listen up and I am only going to tell you this once.

PC was invented by the lying rhetoricians as code so they would not say anything that would hurt their chances of gaining power. It has no bearing to truth, it only counts for what is politically expedient to winning the popular vote.

The ignorant, bamboozled people want to be PC...even though they are not running for office.

Now, it take as a special kind of ******* that wants to control people and keep them under their thumb. A person that is hell-bent for power at any cost, one that is greedy and ego-maniacal. And that *******s name is a politician.

 

right wing conformist political correctness has and will always be a cancer in our society

 

Political correctness first started as just basic civility. It wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Don't use ******, ****, ****, etc. It morphed to where it was hard to express many political views.

I'm hearing the "Twilight Zone" comparison several times lately and from different people, including myself. What used to be bad is now considered good, up is now down and visa versa, etc., etc.. We who are still sane, enter the Twilight Zone! God help us.

 

From 2008 through 2016 nominal criticism of Barack Obama was intimated to be racist or hate-speech. The direction it comes from is the Left.

 

I got kicked off a site reminding people to vote. I said Republicans vote on Tuesday and Democrats vote on Wednesday. Some laughed but I was reported and gone. I mean if someone believed that, do you really want them to vote?

 

when has trump ever been politically correct?

 

Why do you ask?

 

cause I can and cause of the topic

 

Never, but nobody was talking about Trump. Do you like to interject him in every conversation?

 

The answer to that question is pretty much why he won the election.

 

if attacking gold star families and war hero's is why the right voted for Trump... sad!

 

American-style PC is morphing into the kind of sick, f*cked-up 'culture' made famous in Orwell's masterpiece, "1984". It is so glaringly obvious, I'm surprised more people aren't raising hell about it.

Ya know what's interesting...? Neither China nor Russia seem to be afflicted with it....

 

I think political correctness is actually not as bad as a very small group of hyper-liberal would have us believe. The problem is that small group is really loud and deeply entrenched in the media. I don't think too many average Americans are overly concerned about it or are actually just getting sick and tired of it...
