In my experience there is a close to 100 per cent correlation between the stated belief that society is suffering from a decline in "civility" and a willingness to proclaim that we are all being oppressed by "political correctness"....
But Australian lefties used it only in self-parody if at all (‘ideologically sound’ was the original phrase), until the right incorporated it into their jeering lexicon.
John: You might think people complaining about "political correctness" is boring, but the fact is that the left have increasingly tried to silence debate on certain topics under the guise of "tolerance" or "inclusiveness".
