Enforcement of political correctness really amounts to the theft of our voices. PC creates a climate of fear that causes a lot of folks to remain silent, or to parrot back the PC line. This in turn feeds the illusion of public opinion approval. The dictators are under the spotlights, center stage, promoting their lies. They are completely invested in their own power, so they use others — behind the curtain — to comply with their agendas. In the process they either squash or co-opt the talents and thoughts of others. Watch this classic clip from the 1952 movie Singing in the Rain to see something of a metaphor for this sort of PC bullying.
