The term political correctness has fallen somewhat out of American slang, but it roughly means the same as woke does in current usage. The term isn't used as much today because its practice has become so normalized in Postmodern America that nobody calls attention to it as much as they once did.
This term originated during the Russian Revolution, but about 20-30 years ago was appropriated by US Neo-Liberals like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. What it essentially means is that any policy or activity that otherwise would violate the law or even commonly-accepted civilized behavior was excusable if it furthered the official social or political positions of the Democrat Party. Back then, Conservatives opposed Political Correctness. The New Right, however, has co-opted it---repackaged and relabelled it---and the terms based and red-pilled are basically their concomitants to Political Correctness.
Thus we heard President Trump (or whoever writes his speeches for him) state this weekend that “He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” which, of course, is Political Correctness by any definition of the term. Not only has the White House executed PC with a vengeance---doing things like illegally turning over entire databases to Elon Musk and giving Musk authority to purge anybody who might be investigating him or his WEF cronies---the Neocons have been freely issuing Presidential Pardons to other crooks on wholly political grounds. Among these worthy characters have been Ross Ulbricht---a folk-hero to the New Right who was jailed for money-laundering for drug pushers and human traffickers and was connected to at least six Opiod overdose deaths. Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, who had been a figure on Trump's old reality-TV show and was caught red-handed trying to sell a Senate seat also got a free pass. Former DC police officers Terrence Sutton and Andrew Zabavsky who murdered an immigrant by running over him at high speed, were also given a clean slate.
So yesterday, we read that Log Cabin Republican and US Special Envoy Ric Grenell is pressuring the Romanian Government to release Andrew Tate---another hero to the Alt-RINOs---presumably so that Tate can come to America and be a role model for young men.
There are many people who legitimately are victims of the Legal Establishment, like the J6 protesters, but in general hardly any others are on the table. Justice isn't the objective of the New Right, Political Correctness is. Freeing or tolerating people like Tate and the others mentioned are designed to appeal to a demographic who sees them as heroes.
It must be remembered that the demographic of whom the New Right seeks support is not the Conservative of the mid-to-late 20th Century. These aren't people who studied issues and policies in University Libraries and watched Firing Line or read the National Review. The demographic that the New Right appeals to is the type who admire thugs like Andrew Tate.
We're talking about a demographic that sits in front of a screen with an orange hat on backwards and a marijuana joint hanging from his mouth and anything-but-a-Bud-Light in his hand. He looks upon people like Vox Day and Bronze Age Pervert as great thinkers and people like Ben Shapiro and Dennis Prager as superior intellects; and believes that productions like the Left Behind series convey deep philosophical truths. By default, anything or anybody that the Democrats don't like must be an outstanding exemplar of real Americanism so far as they're concerned. They're firmly convinced that if it weren't for those Commie Libtards they too could be a Manly Alpha Leader like Elon Musk and have billions in the bank and hot tradmoms like Ashley St. Clair dispersing their superior genes all across the Fruited Plain.
It seems that every time the New Right hits the bottom of the cultural barrel, they manage to find a trap-door and drop down another level. Anybody who believes at this point that we're going Make America Great Again by pandering to this kind of trash is deceiving themselves.
Friedrich von Hayek once noted that "Few are ready to recognize that the rise of Fascism and Naziism was not a reaction against the socialist trends of the preceding periods, but was their natural outgrowth." That's really part of the Cultural Dynamic going on here, as well as the political one. Politically, the New Right is really just an extension of the New Left, on the macro level of things.
On the Cultural Level, the arrogance and stupidity of the New Left left many Americans disenfranchised and alienated. Thus many otherwise reasonable and well-meaning Americans---assisted by considerable propaganda from the Controlled Opposition Media---mistakenly identify with the permanent element of society's lowest common denominator. The error here is that the permanent underclass will always run with the herd and rally around a perceived strongman and value the superficial over core values and principles which they don't---and can't---comprehend. We can't allow ourselves, regardless of our circumstances, to fall into this error and imagine that Trash Culture has some sort of intrinsic native common sense. It hasn't. This is the same element of society that made up the French sans-colottes, the Russian Bolsheviks, and the Nazi Brownshirts and they won't behave any differently empowered by the American New Right.
What we as Conservatives need to do is start calling this kind of Political Correctness out and exposing it for what it is. The Reactionary Left is still the Left; and Trash Culture is still Trash Culture.
