Political Incorrectness --- UPDATED!!!

Theories of ideology are off the mark when they indicate that leftists are libertarian on social issues. Well, perhaps classical liberals are (recall my problem with the bastardization of the word "liberal"), but progressive leftists are totalitarian, and for our purposes here, I refer to all the recent controversy over AmPow's hotness blogging. Comrade Repsac3 has issues with it, surprise!
I agree with SEK's earlier post that it's a bad idea for a professor to even give the appearance of being a letch, and that regardless of legalities and first amendment freedoms, having posts/posters of hot chicks who're about the same age as your students doesn't present a professional appearance, and may make some of his female students uncomfortable. Legal or not, the phrase "a girl half his age..." seldom puts forth the appearance of decency and high moral values that many professions call for... ...even if it's just pictures on your blog.)
SEK is Scott Eric Kaufman, who has recently engaged in a big round of libel blogging (the legal ramifications of which are unresolved). But as an excellent primer on Repsac3's totalitarianism, see Classical Values, "Your lifestyle stems from a Communist plot to destroy America!":
Political correctness sucks bigtime. My biggest objection to it is that the focus on the proper language and rectifying "power imbalances" and shit like that gets in the way of reasonable communication, especially if you're white, because anything you say can be interpreted as having a white privilege male power racist sexist subtext. And subtexts suck, even though I have a lot of fun with them.

Yet reasonable people and people of good faith try to be polite, and they have always tried to be polite. Politeness existed long before political correctness was invented, and of course that supplies the foot in the door for petty tyrants who inject their leftist poison into dialogue.

It's powerful poison, too.
Poison? Sounds about right.

RTWT.

It goes off a bit from a hotness blogging perspective, but it's right on the control factor of cultural Marxist totalitarianism.


*******

UPDATE: RepmasterHateMasterSponsor has responded to this post by calling me stupid and lazy. So, to note, (1) I mainly like CV's idea of "poison," which perfectly refers to the obsessive hatred that eminates from American Nihilist. And (2) I think there's more need to unpack the requisites of cultural Marxism than we find at CV. For example:

Americans who like pot, porn, or unapproved sex are all victim of the sinister manipulations of Gramsci, Adorno, Marcuse, and Alinsky. Plus the evil, Darwin-inspired Alfred Kinsey, the sinister John Dewey (whose ideas about education have been responsible for every incompetent teacher since) and of course the ultimate precursor to Cultural Marxism -- the Satanic Charles Darwin himself!

The linchpin of Cultural Marxism is cultural determinism, the parent of identity politics and group solidarity. In its turn, cultural determinism was birthed by the Darwinian idea that man is but a soulless animal and therefore his identity is determined by for example, his skin color or his sexual and/or erotic preferences. This proposition rejects the concepts of the human spirit, individuality, free will, and morally informed conscience (paired with personal accountability and responsibility) because it emphatically denies the existence of the God of the Bible.
Everything that has followed these evil men is their creation, and we are all their victims. Never mind that homosexuality has been practiced since at least the Greeks, and pornography pre-dates Alfred Kinsey.

And never mind that sex, drugs, rock and roll are as American as apple pie and helped bring down the Soviet Union. The fact is that by introducing the meme of "Democracy! Sexy! Whiskey!" our American GIs were actually sinister dupes of the Frankfurt School plot -- which they foisted off onto innocent and naive Iraqis.
Fine, overall.

But obviously, if I'm being attacked as a juvenile offending "lech" for blogging Sports Illustrated models I hardly expect to criticize radical leftists for their libertarian proclivities on enjoying a bit of sexy hottness. And that's the thing. The end stage of Marxist thought is total control, as all history has shown, so this idea of a social libertarianism leading to a "cultural" Marxist program is not the whole story. Gays may not be necessarily Marxist, but as we saw in 2008 the most active groups leading the NoOnH8 agenda were overwhelming radical left-wing extremists. More recently, Toronto's Queers Against Israeli Apartheid is allied with the most implacable Jew-bashing leftist totalitarian commies, and it's not hard to notice that the same Middle Eastern regimes they work to prop up turn around and excute gays and lesbians with increasing frequency and abandon. That's totalitarian. So RepMasterHateCommissar is shooting blanks, and I've left a few comments at the post illustrating his freak-nozzle idiocy.

I hear you, Don: political correctness sucks ass. You keep posting as many pictures of teenaged girls as you want. I've got your back.

Oh, and everything you write has a white privilege male power racist sexist subtext (had to get that in there).

Right, JBW ...?

But check out more of Reppy's obsession. And my response ...

Wow, I'm way too "medicated" right now to delve too deeply into all of this but as far as the posting of young hotties goes I'm gonna have to agree with Don on that one. As long as he doesn't bring them into his workplace (it seems that he doesn't) and doesn't require his students to read his site outside of class (ditto) then I don't find non-nude photos of mostly celebrities inappropriate on a privately run, non-work related blog.

College kids have grown up with the Internet Reps, most of the pictures Don posts could be considered rather quaint by World Wide Web standards. Your suggestion not to post them is a valid one but it also makes you come off a bit stodgy.

On that note: you could stand to calm down a bit yourself, Don. If you give yourself a heart attack and cash out before I can win my $100 off of you in 2012 I'm gonna be pissed. I'm talking like Mel Gibson pissed, so crack a beer or read a bible or do whatever it is you right wing guys do to relax and try to unclench your freak nozzle.

Oh, and when I've called you a pentagenarian in the past you've never refutiated it. Are you going all Benjamin Button on us now or what?

You must learn to behave like a "proper" Conservative, Donald - you might upset somebody's narrow worldview!
