The Ten Antitheses of Political Correctness

From the Gates of Vienna blog:

The Ten Antitheses of Political Correctness

1.
Materialism is not about matter, but about suppressing ideas.
2.
Communism is not about common wealth, but about depriving people of any personal possessions.
3.
Socialism is not about society, but about depriving people of the means of production.
4.
Human rights are not personal rights, but collective obligations.
5.
Tolerance is not about mutual respect, but about the prohibition of opinions.
6.
Multiculturalism is not about cultures, but about the repudiation of nationhood.
7.
Energy policy is not about the distribution of energy, but about cutting off energy supplies.
8.
Health care is not about health, but about control of our consumption.
9.
Family planning is not about families, but about abortions.
10.
Self-loathing is not about repentance, but about depriving others of their moral foundation.
