#language #war #cartoon #comic #humanrights

Insult Bloat IN THE '90s, IF SOMEONE FROM "THE LEFT" TRIED TO USE INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE, THEY WERE MOCKED AS "POLITICALLY CORRECT." ‘90s person: WE LIVE IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Man in bowtie: PC! THE TERM EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH "THE LEFT." Man: I SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE. Right winger: PC! WOKE! ENEMY WITHIN! THEN MANY IDEAS THAT HAD BEEN WIDELY ACCEPTED AS BASIC VALUES BECAME DEFINED AS "LEFT WING" AND THEREFORE "PC." Hegseth: "THE DUMB, POLITICALLY CORRECT WARS OF THE PAST... HAD RESTRICTIVE, MINIMALIST RULES OF ENGAGEMENT." FIRST PERSON TO EVER CALL IRAQ WAR "PC" NOW, EVERYTHING IS "PC" (OR "WOKE") EXCEPT FOR THE CHAOTIC WHIMS OF ULTRAVIOLENT MAN-BOYS. Iranian woman: PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! Young man in red hat: OH, STOP BEING SO YOU-KNOW-WHAT!
