"Political correctness," the tactful leftist-invented euphemism for suppression of dissenting views, pervades our culture. It, of course, is merely one term amid a sea of them, packaged with meaning, absorbing other, more proper expressions, connoting incompatible concepts (in the case of "political correctness", the ideas of multiculturalism and committing no offense) as one. Newspeak, in George Orwell's 1984, had been designed to alter the underlying linguistic devices employed by the masses, so that the latter would become unable to even conceive of thoughts contrary to establishment dogma. Precisely that purpose is served through terms invented by the leftist elites of today. While "political correctness" has been exposed as such a deceptive tool by numerous men of insight, others remain cloaked or still focused in the connotative directions intended by their malignant inventors. With the unmasking of "political correctness" emerged yet another substitute for "artificial equating of all cultures", the so-called "diversity". The meaning infused into this "ideal" is the co-existence of numerous "traditional" modes of life. (Where "traditional" has come to define a stale structure which does not permit any adjustments to its flaws and regards itself as a finished product. It possesses a positive shade of meaning in the eyes of modern academia.) It rejects as "unnatural" or "disruptive" elements of cultural diffusion as well as individual attempts to reform those practices harmful to themselves and antiprogressive in regard to a majority of their fellow men. As a matter of fact, to embrace "diversity" is to embrace an ethic which condemns variety in personal convictions and practices, negates the human ego's central role in the formulation of concepts and mechanisms, and attempts to coerce men into submitting in their entirety to a mode of behavior attributed to circumstantial aspects, as race, ethnicity, nationality, and place of upbringing.
