DariusLikewise posted:"political correctness" is literally just a buzzword so all of this is just absolute bullshit lol quote:One obvious question is what people mean by “political correctness.” In the extended interviews and focus groups, participants made clear that they were concerned about their day-to-day ability to express themselves: They worry that a lack of familiarity with a topic, or an unthinking word choice, could lead to serious social sanctions for them. But since the survey question did not define political correctness for respondents, we cannot be sure what, exactly, the 80 percent of Americans who regard it as a problem have in mind. That's some quality research there Lou.

(At least glance at pages 5-15 before dismissing it as some single question about "political correctness" feelies)

I bet a huge percentage of Americans are super concerned about a "war on christmas" or "antifa violence" and the number varies depending on the specific evening you ask them and whether those items were featured on their favourite cable news stations

either political correctness is a multi-generational plague that has affected academia and segments of north american population over the course of the last 50 years, from when buckley complained about the GI Bill allowing uncouth soldiers into the university, to the rebelliousness of youth in the 1960s concerning civil rights and anti-war positions, to the 1980s when radicals sought to push institutions to divest from South Africa, to the vague sense of liberal PC consensus that was stifling thought in the 1990s, to the vicious attacks on free speech by woke SJWs today, or it's a useful phrase conservatives use as a short hand to advocate for tradition and continuity in their society and blames a bunch of 18 year olds for society's ills

By the standards of the 1990s every single poster in this thread, including James Baud, is bleeding heart PC wacko. Turns out people are afraid of transgressing unknown and ill defined social mores based on their vague concept of a phrase that's been weaponized for expressly that purpose. loving shocking.

Suspicious posted:ah, the old "I don't care about (thing), therefore nobody could possibility care about (thing) except as a ruse" It can go a lot of ways. There's also "I have come to my position through reason, so all other beliefs are either pathological or conspiracy," and "since your beliefs are just political conspiracy, my beliefs are entitled to be held on par with yours irrespective of how I articulate or defend them." infernal machines posted:if you think about it the real oppression is censuring me for wanting to subjugate and dehumanize women and minority groups It's only oppression if it deviates from the natural order. If you're some lobster-and-ant-obsessed lunatic, then the government spending its resources to put "them" in "their place" isn't oppressive because it isn't infringing upon the natural order. A project of equality is, however, since it disrupts the natural order of your goony fedora-wearing rear end being intrinsically superior to all women and/or people of colour.

the PC criticism would be a lot more coherent if it wasn't both a radical upheaval of social norms and decency that threatens to throw society into disarray and a choking moral order that roots out all wrongthink and enforces its hegemony. one or the other people. just choose one.

(At least glance at pages 5-15 before dismissing it as some single question about "political correctness" feelies) judging by the notes in the study they sat people down in a room and asked them how they felt about "political correctness" without ever defining what it meant. If you go by the responses they got from the statements they picked to represent each "tribe" everyone of them has a different idea of how "political correctness" is ruining their lives. Its quite literally a bogeyman phrase people are using to complain about change in society.
