Reply #114: origin of political correctness shown here

[provis99]

the term "political correctness" originated when some left-wing academics noticed that some of their radical colleagues were demanding everyone on the left think and speak according to a radical plan of correct political thinking. In effect, the attempt of some left-wing academics to critique the radicals fanaticism was being shouted down, leading to the creation of the phrase, "politically correct", which only much later was adopted by right wingers. Such examples of political correctness included lookism (noticing that another person was physically attractive), weightism (noticing someone weighed outside the healthy medium), and the like. It typically entailed radicals shouting at the leftists that they were as bad or worse than the right wingers, and had hidden prejudices because they didn't accept the radicals stances.

The attacks against ruggerson here are a prime example of the kind of demented radical political correctness that is practised against other liberals. Or maybe the critics are merely right wing trolls baiting ruggerson. You be the judge
