You're a BS artist. This notion that we have to choose between self-righteous PC culture and righwing identity politics is a false dichotomy.
Politics is not about morality, it's about power. Political correctness is nothing more than a modern incarnation of the holier than thou complex. PC people try to assert moral superiority and ideological purity as a means of jockeying for status.If you stop taking American culture and politics and face value and take a closer look at what people actually *do*, you might learn something and be taken seriously for once!

I had an experience today in line at the grocery store. The oriental girl behind's dumplings fell over the belt divider and mixed with my groceries. The clerk asked if they were mine and I said no and indicated they were the girl's. She said she should have known that. At first I thought she meant because it was Asian food and the girl was Asian. But the clerk didn't mean that. She then said, makes sense that all the dumplings belong to the same order.
Anyway I thought this is a good example of something that could be interpreted as racist, but isn't.

"Cultural Bolshevism, or in German Kulturbolschewismus,[1] was a term widely used during the Third Reich by critics who denounced modernism in the arts, particularly when seeking to discredit more nihilistic forms of expression. As many modernists embraced Marxism while rejecting traditional values, Cultural Bolshevism and the similarly pejorative term "Cultural Marxism" also took on political overtones. "
so why are you rabbiting nazi propoganda Jacoby?
What a disingenuous load of old trousers.
Cultural Marxism as a concept has a valid modern academic definition and application as I'm sure you're well aware.
"A 20th-century conspiracy theory regards the Frankfurt School as the origin of a contemporary movement in the political left to destroy western culture, referred to as "Cultural Marxism" by theory proponents. It advocates the idea that multiculturalism and political correctness are products of critical theory, which originated with the Frankfurt School. The theory is associated with American religious paleoconservatives such as William S. Lind, Pat Buchanan and Paul Weyrich, and has received support from the Free Congress Foundation."
Cultural marxism isn't about PC, it's just been latched onto by the american right and used to smear whoever they disagree with.

And you might want to distance yourselves from them because a lot of people think it's y'all.
I think the best term for it is regressive. That is what best describes it.

"Leftist sources often dismiss cultural Marxism not by using factual arguments but instead by labeling it a "conspiracy theory". This can be seen as a form of guilt by association instead of a factual argument. Also, Kevin MacDonald has rejected an overarching conspiracy similar to The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion (see the article Jewish group evolutionary strategy).
The Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt was/is no secret conspiracy group but open regarding its intents and had/has many similarities to modern think thanks/"policy institutes" which openly advocate certain ideas/ideologies and try to influence and shape public discourse, culture, and society."
Sound familiar?
But kudos for doubling down like a good little SJW. At least you're ideologically consistent.

how about this essay from Gary North(who wrote a book on Marx) on how it's not marxist at all http://www.garynorth.com/public/12623.cfm

whatever you're quoting from sounds biased, why should I argue that when you're obviously going to move the goalposts.
Here's a starter. Stop accusing people of whining. Just because you don't understand why someone is upset doesn't mean that their feelings are invalid.
Bullies love to accuse people of whining so some people are sensitive to being called whiners if they have been treated this way in the past. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt though and just trying to inform you that this upsets people and doesn't help the conversation along.

So basically whatever a**hole decided its something to just throw around in front of anything that, anyone might find distasteful is using the idea in an entirely overblown and inappropriate manner I think.
That is that it does mean originally but now people use it to mean someone will get butthurt when they read it, someone will find it offensive, etc. because they post something controversial or something that is political.

Just so we're clear here, you're claiming that your source is the authority because it wasn't written by someone ideologically opposed to your position?

I'm not sure Fugu even read beyond the title of that article, Gary North? Do you know who that is? Basically the jist of his article there is the Republicans focus too much on Marxists for destroying our culture when the real problem is secularism itself, North believes we should have Christian theocracy under Old Testament law. He wants to be a Christian version of Saudi Arabia stonings and all.
I'm not sure the point tho, cultural Marxism is distinct from the Marxist-Leninists in its world view because they believe that culture is the main reason that a proletarian revolution hadn't happened in the West which Marx predicted was inevitable. Cultural Marxists are who came up with Critical Theory and thus are the parents of everything that has branched off that.
