Why being political correct sucks

I want a virus that turns all the pages on the internet green and red if you are colour blind, positions all relevant content under the dots of your Diabetic Retinopathy, flashes to trigger a epileptic seizures, disables elevators, morphes ramps into stairs, walls into mirror to show you your own ugly selfishness and societies queer understanding of equality and political correctness!

Why? Because our society is not about inclusion or equal opportunities, it is about selfishness (link secondlife), it is about making a point, about following items to the point no matter whether they are needed, wanted or reasonable, it is all about wanting and doing because you have the right to…

You don’t agree?
Some examples for the thick ones:
- Years ago I was working for a major (American) investment company, creating an image video. Brief “video to communicate the enterprise as global, multicultural, society-interfacing and responsible… yadayadayada”. Ok so we go shooting video in the city: business people (we thought about having a good ethical cross-section! Oh yes we did) commuting, shopping, city life, people in parks, fountains, trees, and hey, children playing – school-children in uniforms (a sign of future, growth, life…) No. So Wrong.
Impossible were told.
How could we?!
A sign of paedophilia. Pornographic! We were told by top management.
Exucse me?
Out of question, such footage.
Now is this the managers’ fault, or of the society in general? Not sure, but does it matter? Or who actually IS society?

- travelling on the train the other day and being told off as I wanted to secure my bike to the specifically designed bike space: sorry not before 830!
?
Well the association of disable people is writing letters to the train operator apparently complaining that they cannot pass through the train.
Let me tell you: in one year, I have not seen a single person with a walking disability on that train. So? There could be one. Right, but that is the point! Everything within reason!
The point I a making is that this is excessive, if one were there I would happily remove my bike. Apart from the fact that what if he travelled after 830 I could give him the finger?
And that the space between the seats is much less than the space between the walls and my cycle, so come on, fuck off, that is opression of the masses by a noisy minority and we are so politically correct not to be allowed to even mention it. My arse! Or is it actually not the minority? Are theses so-called disableds possibly embarrassed by what some non-minority moralists do in their name? I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle.

- Ahh, while talking about accessibility. Website accessibility: one of my favourites. Instead of forcing the minority to adopt better tools the majority is asked to accept reduction of benefits to accommodate those that might not use the services anyway. Makes no sense? Get me right, accessibility is great. But within reason, please

- Working currently in another company where Project Managers handle multimillion dollar projects and a billion dollar IT budge, but are not allowed to decide how to walk stairs, or whether to put a lid on their coffee cups. Lids on coffee cups? Oh, you could spill your coffee and burn someone to death.
Oh yeah, an employee died falling down stairs because she didn’t hold the handrail. Supposedly. Right!
Fucking hell, I would love to die that way, just for the freedom of making my own decision. This is not about dangers someone couldn’t foresee. This is about intrusion into personal freedom! Cant you see what you are loosing? Or maybe you never wanted freedom on the first place?
I cant believe it, this global energy supplier actually published a multi page (statistical) report on employees’ stair-walking behaviour. Can you believe it? Someone is charged with checking up on how employees walk stairs up and down and then write a report on it? Honestly East-Germany history comes to mind…


Now where is this coming from?
It is a very bad mix of fear and greed, selfishness, fear and jealousy and schadenfreude:
Fear and greed: people suing companies, individuals governments because they can. And those entities are being afraid of it so they make rules. Rules we want because we are so afraid that those terrible things – which we supposedly can not deal with or avoid – will happen. The same fuckers however complain about increasing cost of insurances and taxes. Curse on both your houses! That is the American and their Poodles for you…
Selfishness, because people don’t seem to care about freedom (their own and that of their fellow citizens) they only seem to be interested in their own advantage no matter what the cost or impact, not realizing others will do the same, and all will be regimented strongly in the end.
Most of all, and worst: fear and jealousy that someone else would dare to do something you cant do because you don’t have the courage to. You want to takte thje risk and therefore no-one else should be allowed to either.
Prohibit pornography and ambling, because you cant take your eyes away from those latex clad tits and pussies, because you cant control loosing money at Poker, be honest, admit that you need protection, and you alone don’t claim altruism.
And a German one: Schadenfreude: yeah right, find a fault in someone else and denigrate her. That seems to be the major fun for people in general Fucking swot.

Or is it that we just love rules, regulations and control? The infamous freedom of the slave, the total freedom of not to have to make a decision? you know your Orwell
So let me tell you, you weak, scared, jealous people out there, not all of us are like that, leave us alone!!! And to those who are impartial: the restrictions will be worth than then benefits, so fucking start acting…
