Here is the first part of the post.
Individual(s)
Those who are mature, emotionally stable individuals, with clear self-image of identity, who respect themselves and others, do not have much difficulties with being PC and are not easy to offend.
But those who have unresolved issues about any part of identity are suffering more in relationships with others and can make others suffer.
I was warned at work because I said to a pupil that he does not know most of the material that we were learning during school year and cannot have wanted mark. That made this person and his parents angry, how could I say something like that, and declared it discrimination. Not to mention that any of them did.t know to explain what that word means and how to apply it in the given situation. They just did not want to face the fact that their kid did not learn almost anything. Sorry guys, if you are offended by feedback that your knowledge about something is poor, start learning instead of blaming someone else.
This is just one of many every day examples where PC becomes a spinning tool, up to the point where you are no longer able to tell the truth or your opinion because someone is going to be offended.
Many people are walking on eggshells trying to avoid inconvenience or conflicts with others, up to the point of measuring every word. So, this way, instead of having most people in the middle of statistic distribution, which is the best, seems like we have majority in two opposites: those who are against PC and those who are overusing it in order to provoke/reach socially desirable behavior.
None of it is good, not for the individuals nor the society.
But change is hard; it requires energy, time and ability to overcome fears and step out of the comfort zone.
And that is why so many individuals shutting their eyes and go with the flow.
On the other hand, creators of the “this is good/bad” narrative are keeping their eyes shut but for the sake of their benefit; they do not have to walk on eggshells, their game is spinning and blurring, they can smoothly reverse aggressor into victim. Not all of them, of course, there are many who sincerely believe in the cause.
Hand in hand with PC comes CC
Cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support to someone (person or company) after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive. Than usually opens the door for (online) shaming. Fertile soil for all kinds of violence, but that is whole another story. The important thing is that CC makes many people feel insecure and make them apologizing for just having a different opinion.
I very well understand that it is much easier to say to someone that is an idiot or stupid or ignorant or creep... when we are angry and frustrated about something with that person. So many people argue that PS is some sort of censorship just because is against this sort of labeling.
It is a censorship but not because it forbids to say whatever, whenever, however, you want but because it supports spinning, blurring and fogging of data up to the point when what you wanted to say loses its point, not makes sense any more.
Conclusion
PS is a good tool if is properly used and that depends on us.
Discrimination will continue to exist no matter words we use.
People will continue taking out their personal frustrations by joining CC and shaming.
People will continue to be offended with whatever they decide they don.t like.
That one is up to them. What is up to us is to be assertive, that is, say what we want but in a respectful way.
If they don.t get it and continue to insist, well...bzzzz 😂
Open your eyes and be reasonable PC ;D
