The Health Harms of Political Correctness By James Reed
We hear heaps from the establishment that racism has ill-health effects. Yes, maybe, but what about the ill-health generated by the mania of political correctness, for any mania can cause harm.

“A recent poll found that Political Correctness is extremely unpopular in America, even amongst moderates and independents, which got me thinking on the subject. There exists an old quote from a famed British psychiatrist by the name of Anthony Daniels regarding Political Correctness. It is the best quote I know of on the subject, and I have been mulling it over for some time, considering its meaning and its implications. The quote reads:
Political Correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better.
When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed.
A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine Political Correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.
In this way, Political Correctness can be seen not only as a form of narrative control and truth suppression, but as a type of relentless bullying. Speech codes and persistent propaganda no one is even allowed to object to (like diversity worship or the fictions we constantly hear about human equality), reinforce society’s sense of powerlessness. If you can get people to assent to obvious lies, or better yet to repeat them, or better still to absorb them, which is to say to lie to themselves, there is virtually nothing you can’t make them do. You have broken the seal, as drinkers say.
It is as if you have forced a man to murder an innocent, or to rape his own sister. You have destroyed a bit of his soul, you have forced him to surrender, to submit, to choose pragmatism over rectitude, to abandon his reason for the sake of social or professional survival. Once a man has lost his sense of shame, of pride, of agency, of integrity, once he must abandon his own conscience and put on a performance for all the world to see just so that he’ll be socially accepted, he’s a sheep being led to slaughter at that point. He has been subjugated completely. His heart is a gaping wound. He has been warped and debased to his core, to his essence.
We must see Political Correctness then as a very intense form of psychological and spiritual warfare. The goal of it is not just to censor ideas and words and keep people in the dark. The ultimate goal is to destroy the subject’s sense of right, and the subject’s sense of shame, and most importantly, the subject’s will to resist, to live a life of authenticity, of honor, of virtue. Once these dams are broken, vice flows effortlessly downhill for the individual, and for societies living in the shadow of these dams, known colloquially as principle, conscience, probity, integrity, honor and civic virtue--- the things that uphold human civilization.
If people aren’t even willing to stand up and rebuff the most glaring of falsehoods, what will they stand up to? They will go along with most anything at that point. People conditioned to wear a mask every day of their lives, to present to the world a perfectly false self, to celebrate things no decent or sensible person could or would celebrate, have already assented to the intolerable.
When the most unthinkable atrocities arrive, they will be more than ready to tolerate them. They have had ample practice tolerating the unthinkable already. They have already assented many times to denying the reality right before their very eyes, and to countenancing what they know in their hearts to be pure evil.
If we understand Political Correctness this way, we must understand Political Correctness to not only be an assault on the truth, which it is of course, but as the main front of a war on human liberty itself, on free minds, on free peoples, on free nations. Political Correctness paves the way for the army of horribles behind it, by turning madness into gospel, meekness into fashion, and surrender into habit.
Vanquished, demoralized peoples do not fight back, they do not rise up and deliver themselves from Marxist tyranny. They applaud rather than cringe (as all people of sound mind would do) when their overlords trot out, on national television, an 11 year old drag queen dressed up in the attire of a street hooker. They do nothing when told that 9 year old boys are perfectly capable of deciding to start physically transitioning into girls via powerful, permanently mind-altering and body-altering pharmaceuticals. They play along when Cultural Marxist oligarchs and media personalities tell us that flooding the country with criminals and imbeciles from the third world will lead to moral and social progress.
They remain silent when they are told that East Asians and whites are the real racists for not wanting to be systematically racially discriminated against in hiring and university admissions countrywide. Because who would assent to absurdity is half-way to atrocity already. He has sacrificed a piece of his soul for security, but will not receive it. The universe never has and never will reward such a bargain.”
The woke environment will also undermine law enforcement, so that things like this will be new normal, especially now when police across the US are resigning in droves, since the Left have declared war on policing, championing criminals, the new proletariat, heroes of the revolution, comrade!
“I found twenty-five instances of interracial violence resulting in the deaths of thirty-five victims reported in the calendar month of March 2021. All but two of the victims were white and only one of the killers was white. Victims include the elderly, children, white female Significant Others (this is definitely a Thing), law enforcement officers and totally random passers-by.
Among interracial suspected and known homicides reported in March 2021, the most spectacular actually was an Immigrant Mass Murder:

The incident occurred February 16, 2021 and was reported March 4, 2021.

I am occasionally criticized for not reporting white-on-black homicides. Let the record show that, in March, I found just one (1):
- Elizabeth Sullivan, age 37, fatally stabbed in San Diego, California.
Convicted and sentenced to 16 years to life in prison for the murder of his wife is Matthew Sullivan, 36.
Reports say the convict stabbed his wife, cleaned the crime scene, then stored her body in a freezer before dumping her into San Diego Bay.
Note that in this case, the victim was black, and the convicted killer was white.
The crime occurred in 2014. Matthew Sullivan was arrested in 2018 and sentenced March 12, 2021.
[California Navy veteran who killed and froze wife, then dumped body in bay, sentenced, by Frank Miles, Fox News, March 14 2021]
Of course, my focus is black-on-white homicides, to make up for the fact that it is increasingly covered up by the Main Stream Media, although I do note white-on-black homicides when I see them. But the fact is that there just aren’t very many.
According to information provided by the FBI, there were a total of 3,315 white victims of homicides in 2018, the most recent year available. 514 of the offenders were black, sometimes of course with multiple victims. There were 2,925 black homicide victims. 234 of the offenders were white. [FBI: Crime in the U.S. 2018 • Tables • Expanded Homicide Data Table 6]”
Of those 234 “white” offenders, an estimated 59 of them were really mestizos whom the FBI habitually mislabels as “white.” After removing them, we are left with 175 white-on-black murders.
Thus black-to-white per capita rate ratio for the perpetration of interracial murder was 13.2—blacks were 13.2 times more likely to kill whites than vice versa.
Mass shootings tell a similar story. According to mass-shootings.info, there were 610 mass shootings in the USA in 2020. Nearly all were ignored by the Regime Media, because (a) the shooters were black, and (b) marksmanship lowered the death toll. In 149 of the cases, a suspect was identified.
- 73 percent of mass shooting were [allegedly] committed by blacks.
- 14 percent by whites
- 14 percent by Latinos
- 0 percent by East Asians.”
Looks Like Whites will be rioting and burning America down again, all due to the White Lives Splatter Movement!
