Political correctness isn't about taste or decency, it's about control through pseudo-offense, imaginary "victims," and "microaggressions." This is manipulative

Political correctness isn't about taste or decency, it's about control through pseudo-offense, imaginary "victims," and "microaggressions." This is manipulative browbeating by implicitly threatening people's standing in society by telling them what to think, what words are "correct" now, and what topics they can't talk about anymore, even as jokes. Oh and now, let's retroactively rehash the past, tell people how horrible they were in the present, and punish them too. Keep looking for people to punish, excoriate, banish, and crucify until there's no one left. After all, no crime is too small to not earn the instant death penalty.
George Carlin (RIP), Bill Maher, Jerry Seinfeld... sadly, I think they lost the war because there weren't and aren't enough comedians with enormous lower-middle orbs (female orbs run a little higher) to stand up or manspread against the tides of Karens, booers (that's not "boogers," although that would work too), shouters, and the rest of the heckler safety-pin brigade mob.
