But when will the dictatorship of political correctness end? Years pass, governments change, the people rise up. But from Hollywood to Sanremo, from TV to literary prizes, from news events to history adapted to the present, domination continues regardless of life, of truth and reality. The script repeats itself, to infinity.
Nausea has been creeping in for some time towards that suffocating cloud, sometimes parody takes the place of canon. Many deplore it, il politically correct, even his agents, those who administer his sacraments every day; and this is the sign of aging, creak, it fossilizes. But in the end, domination remains and the real mystery at this point is the absence of alternatives: the anger is there but there are never different options. Yet just look for them. In cinema, for example, at least three Oscar-worthy films were released this year: Cold war arrived from the east, but it touched on the theme of communism, albeit only briefly. The usual great film by Clint Eastwood has arrived from the States, The courier (in the past Clint was even awarded, but now the Oscars are pure black-homo-racial catechesis). And a great film has come out in Italy that we have already written about, The first King, on the founding of Rome. But the Oscars only go to black people, racism-nazism-negritude, more homosexual and me-too. And we fall back into political correctness.
But what is Political Correctness?, Let's try to give it a precise definition and content. To begin with, political correctness is the claim to tell others how they should be, what they have to say, how they should behave. It therefore presupposes a point of superiority on the part of the judge.
Political correctness is then an ideological lens that alters the vision of men, ideas and things according to an undisputed and indisputable prejudice, assumed a priori as the door to truth, of good and progress. It arises from the belief that everything that comes from the past is false and outdated. The reality, nature, the family, the story, civilization as you have known it so far, lived and named, they are wrong, must be redefined and corrected. This is how political correctness was born, this orthopedic brace applied to the mind and life. Political correctness is moralism in the absence of morality, ethical racism in the absence of ethics, clerical bigotry in the absence of religion. Political correctness is the rococo of the revolution, like the residual rest of the coffee. Failing to change the world, the words are changed. Politically correct language is boiled vocabulary seasoned with humanitarian mustard. It's also oicophobia, say Roger Scruton, it is rejection of the house, primacy of the stranger and the foreigner over the local and the compatriot. E, In the end, it's reductionism: the variety of the world and its problems is reduced to an obsession with two or three themes.
Where political correctness is born? The first answer is in America, global laboratory of the future and world capital of the Empire of signs. Robert Hughes' essay is famous (an australian, moreover), The culture of whining (Adelphi), on progressive bigotry. Before him Tom Wolfe reported already in 1970 l’artefice del politically correct, he radical chic. An important text on the progressive vice is “The Closing of the American Mind” by Allan Bloom. And we could mention others. But the matrix of political correctness does not end in the States. Something like this has spread across northern Europe, in the Scandinavian social democracies, elected for decades as a progressive model of emancipation. Sweden is his true homeland, claims Jonathan Friedman in Politically Correct (ed.Meltemi). The author was touched closely, because his wife, researcher, she was accused of racism just because she documented, data in hand and rigorous analysis, that in Sweden multiculturalism and the immigration reception policy have been a failure.
Ma il P.C. it was not born in a place but in an era: was born on the ashes of '68, it becomes the adult catechism of those who were iconoclasts as children. After having tried the hypocrisy of the Christian-bourgeois and authoritarian-patriotic language, the ex-sixty-eighters adopted that new hypocritical lexicon and that mannerist etiquette. From respectability to respectability.
Political correctness is born when the effect of Marxism ends, the idea of ​​revolution fades, the global references of communism are lost. The liberal and radical spirit flow back into the global progressive code. We move from the Collective Intellectual to the Collective Demented, the conformist with conditioned reflexes; the communist becomes placecommunist, judges by prefabricated stereotypes, rewrites history, the thoughts and feelings ad usum idiots. There is a rich literature that denounces political correctness: the latest is Politically Correct by Eugenio Capozzi (ed. Marsilio), who considers him the heir of all progressivism. To pass the politically correct censorship, the presence of at least one or more obligatory ingredients of each narrative is necessary, reportage o fiction: the black, the migrant, he rom, the homosexual, the feminist, the disabled person and the Jew. Always victims or heroes, however positive characters by definition in every story or plot.
The politically correct company manufactures serial prejudices, in freeze-dried doses; their application exempts us from reasoning, it saves the effort of critical judgment. And it gives those who use it a feeling of ethical well-being, a presumption of superiority over others. When we free ourselves from this hood, from this ideological-mafia dome? And here the problem shifts to the other field: the absence of alternatives, the failure to develop strategies, cultures and languages, silence and resignation. After the rejection, the project is urgent.
