How in the world did we get here? I remember reading this Accuracy in Academia item back in 2000 on “The Origins of Political Correctness” [a great trip through its history]. Now we have the voguish plague of Cancel Culture and Professor Dershowitz's "new McCarthyism" reminiscence of "Tail-gunner Joe" and his Commie Safari back in the early to mid 50's. This 2000 white paper by Bill Lind points out where I believe it started.

From the article:
"Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. "
I expected that, to draw socialism into the discussion.
Horsehocky!
Being polite to others is not being "PC."
Being sensitive to others is not being "PC."
Respecting the rights of others is not being "PC."
None of that has a damn thing to do with socialism. It has to do with living in a polite, diverse society.

I agree Being polite to others; Being sensitive and Respecting rights are good things. Political Correctness is not. It’s a practice with consequences for those who fail to fall into line. It totally lacks tolerance for expressed opinion or thought that isn’t an echo of the accuser’s ideology. Justice Gorsuch addresses very well the subject of civility in his book “A Republic If You Can Keep It”.
Civility: Yes, Political Correctness as described in Lind’s speech NO. The latest permutation of it “Cancel Culture” is a natural outgrowth of “PC”.

SPC Terry Page - I think every person's opinion about what is and what is not "PC" would differ.

MSG Stan Hutchison - I think either the spelled-out term or the acronym are just labels we use to describe a phenomena; a republic destroying poison as described in Bill Lind’s AIA Conference address “The Origins of Political Correctness”.
It’s something like the crime of homicide where, for example, one spouse poisons the other spouse; gradually over time. In the case at hand (as described by Lind); a 1930’s journey through our republic to the current day. Call it what you will – It’s poison.
