À propos de cet audio

“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?

In Speechless, number one nationally best-selling author and political commentator Michael Knowles masterfully traces the history and effects of political correctness from the early 20th 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.

I really loved book and the narrator. He breaks down concepts in a concise manner. This is a rare book which provides insight into lefts perspectives from a Conservative point of view.

Enlightening

Knowles pierces into the heart of our current liberal insanity and encourages us not to hold to leftist premises.

Great Book!

Most people probably feel alienated by today's political debates, feeling that it has been hijacked by the extremes on both ends of the spectrum. Michael Knowles's excellent book explains a great deal of how this happens, and what might be done about it.

Unfortunately, the book is unlikely to be read by many on the Left, or Left-of-Center, but I think it would be extremely valuable for them too. One important takeaway from Speechless is that, apart from the usual Left-vs-Right dynamic, there is a greater fight between those who want to defend and improve modern Western society, and those who want to undermine it and tear it down. And if your goal is to destroy (perhaps under the illusion that you can create something better), you don't have a problem taking a wrecking ball to debate rules as well. Knowles shines a light on how this is done, and demonstrates the consequences. He also argues convincingly that some defenses are not just ineffective, but end up being used against you.

A political survival guide for decent people

Read this, as a reminder to what is really going on. To what end, one might ask? It remains to be seen. Interesting times.

Great listen!
