correcting politics of semantics

the brand politically correct was created to minimize the efforts of the civil rights movement and identity politics. it is a reasonable arguement (as most are) from the position of freedom. the civil rights movement began as an attempt to correct savage inequalities, has in many minds morphed into codifying politeness. it is interesting to consider the nature of the complaints.

i think i might run a series of truly lame posts just in service of posting everyday. i wonder how common a strategy this is?

  1. The brand politically correct was an effort to popularize the academic understanding of the power of language-hegemony. Didn't you read books back in the 20th. c?
