Interpretations
The “Political Correctness Game.” Here’s how you play:
- identify a domain of human endeavor. It could be the wealth of people within a society. It could be the psychological well-being of individuals within a given organization. It could be the prowess of school children at a particular sport.
- You note the inevitable continuum of success. Some people are richer or happier than others. Some children are better at playing volleyball.
- You define those doing comparatively better as oppressors of those doing comparatively worse.
- Finally, you declare solidarity with the latter, and enmity for the former (now all-too-convenient targets for your resentment and hatred).
- You have now established your moral superiority, cost-free, and can trumpet it at will.
