The point of changing the language was initially to help people understand that someone is a person first, not a disability first, and getting rid of language that tends to be used pejoratively. Hence, for example, saying a "child with a mental impairment", rather than a "retarded child." I can agree with that. However, as Carlin points out, this impulse has gotten way out of hand and is now used to normalize increasingly abnormal conditions, as people become increasingly impaired by the chemical and nutritional assaults we undergo in modern life. Now (in an increasingly self-serving exercise no doubt promoted by Big Pharma, Big Ag, and their governmental puppets,) we are increasingly encouraged to consider the explosion of chronic and disabling conditions as nothing more than alternative ways to experience life. How dare we invalidate someone else's experience! We might hurt their feelings! Not only is this an exercise in fascist control over freedom of speech, it's become a tyrannical control tactic over what, and how, we think about our collective human situation.

lsjarvi You are so very correct when you say that "we are increasingly encouraged to consider the explosion of chronic and disabling conditions as nothing more than alternative ways to experience life" and the ramifications of that spiral off into many unseen paths and results. We cannot say these are good or bad until we have identified why the chronic and disabling conditions exists and who caused them, but identifying the culprit(s) is made all the more difficult because of political correctness.

One of the first steps towards obfuscation through language is the term 'antisemitism', which is an impossible condition for anyone to have unless they hate all Semitic languages and their sub groups [Link]. But people would actually have to look it up and political correctness awards them for being too lazy to realize they are being lied to and dragged down the path of gullibility and ignorance. It is a fools game.

Wow. I must really like the word "increasingly"

lsjarvi You have become increasingly aware of your increased use of 'increasingly'?

With all due respect to both of the above commenters : Take a trip to the middle East and tell all the engaged parties there that they are using politically incorrect methods to fight each other, see if it works out for you No offense meant.
