In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the
most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies
themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To
assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way
to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus
eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to
control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same
effect and is intended to.
