Censorship is un-American, and is the antithesis of Free Speech.
''By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.''
“Political correctness is America's newest form of intolerance, and it is especially pernicious because it comes disguised as tolerance. It presents itself as fairness, yet attempts to restrict and control people's language with strict codes and rigid rules. I'm not sure that's the way to fight discrimination. I'm not sure silencing people or forcing them to alter their speech is the best method for solving problems that go much deeper than speech.” George Carlin

Quite correct, and the Leftists have wanted Tucker Carlson fired for telling the truth on several occasions, including a currently running attempt over something he exposed a couple days ago.
I expect the Leftists to aim their cancel culture at George Carlin before too long.

Actually, Political Correctness is just old fashioned good manners and respect (or at least lack of bad manners and disrespect) expanded to historic out-groups. It means taking the wishes of the marginalized into account before making a decision about how to behave and how to run things.
To the historically privileged, even fairness and decency feels like oppression.

That is a good way of explaining the other side of the pancake, but I would much prefer knowing where a person is truly coming from, not the sugar coated version.

I live in leftist nirvana Seattle for over 25 years. I had the pleasure of seeing Carlin live a few years before he passed away. It was not surprising that perhaps 10% of the audience got up and left within 20 minutes of listening to Carlin. It was a thing of absolute beauty! I think even George enjoyed the intolerance and made a few quips about it during the show

Absolute horse manure. Political Correctness allows indecent and uncivilized behavior on the Left to go unchecked and allows mental illness to go unchallenged. It is a cancer on society, and those who promote it should be called out, and if possible, horse whipped.

I will go a step further and be intolerant of despicable and loathsome tyrants of the Leftist Mob. They have, through years of unchecked tyranny, caused irreparable damage to the US, and it is because of them that there will be increasing violence this fall and winter.
Political Correctness is one of their most dangerous and loathsome tools, as its goal is to hamstring the mind.

Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; either by the word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet.
Robert Charles Winthrop
Liberty is for those who choose to be controlled by a power within them.
The Leftists have chosen the Bayonet, and our country has crossed the line.
There is no going back.
It's certainly not PC to say that ALL Lives Matter these days even though the Left demands it with their "Equality for all" movements, saying ALL Lives Matter is Hate Speech.
We can't even say that black suspects need to stop fighting the Police and resisting arrest or we will be called a racist.
It is just common sense to follow the orders of the Police especially when they have their guns drawn on you but no we can't talk about that because those cops are all trigger happy racists just itching to blow away a black kid...
We can't talk about that because it is not PC.
The statues coming down. The renaming of anything that may be deemed offensive is all a bunch of PC knee jerk feel good nonsense.
