Speechless
Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds | Michael Knowles
1 post | 2 read
"'Political correctness' has taken politeness and turned it into a weapon of censorship and intimidation. In the workplace, on social media, and even at the dinner table, Americans are confronted daily with a laundry list of words they're 'not allowed' to say--and that list is updated constantly and without warning. How did so absurd a concept become so dangerous--and come to dominate our public discourse over the last quarter-century? [This book]...traces the history and effects of political correctness from the early twentieth century to the present, revealing its insidious roots, exposing the power-hungry language architects behind its ever-growing control, and examining what this concerted manipulation of speech means for the future of American culture, politics, and minds"--Publisher.

4.5 Stars • There is so much valuable information presented in this book that I need to read it again (and yet again) just to help it all sink in. Brilliantly presented.

"Speechless" by Michael Knowles argues that political correctness is a form of censorship that controls thought, undermining free speech and traditional values. ⬇️

suvata Knowles criticizes the idea that all speech should be equally protected, arguing it has led to the promotion of progressive ideologies over conservative values. He advocates for a return to standards that uphold traditional morals, challenging the cultural shift towards what he sees as moral relativism. 4mo
