Shari,
Aldous Huxley used to say, “If you want to solve your problems, learn a new way seeing”.
It is a heroic thing to attempt to throw off a governmentally established religion. Accordingly, BWs phrase, “Political Correctness is a Religion” is not a slogan.
There has never been a governmentally sponsored religion more widely and globally established than the religion of Political Correctness.
The fingers of PC’s scope are panoramic, yet also concentrate right down to the microscopic, a flow tide of awesomely subtle influences, deliberately propagated, multi-faceted and robust, legally, ideologically, and spiritually. Political Correctness is as thoroughgoing an established religion as there ever was in all of history.
Popes, Pastors, and Imams should eat their hearts out, there is not an “official religion” recognized today that even remotely compares to the influence and scope of the world’s premiere established religion of Political Correctness (established by almost every government in every country on earth).
Yet this religion is vulnerable, as enormous, pervasive, and well-supported as it is.
The knowledge of one man can take it down.
Words are first and foremost lies. Yet true words, properly arranged and chosen, coming from even one man, can change everything. This is the contradiction of Wordism.
The trick is to convey this unsettling knowledge, to convey its truth. That is the work of “poets” (”poets” in the broad sense of a persons skilled in the arts of influence).
The “poet’s” job is to make accessible what otherwise would not be accessible. And important knowledge does get conveyed. It finds ways to make itself accessible. Its very importance drives it. Persons skilled in the arts of influence find it. Steadily but surely it makes its way into the culture.
That is what BUGS is really about, enlightenment for “poets”, seeding the culture. That is why physical (racial) separation doesn’t matter. Separation is a tactic that is beside the point.
The point is taking down the established religion of Political Correctness, a heroic undertaking.
In that we save our race.

Thank you Dave, I am perceiving this to be a false religion, more and more, and how wide spread it is. I don’t see so clearly how to bring it down, but I intend to keep trying.
Every follower has a serious responsibility to PAY ATTENTION to just what and who they follow. It’s not just leaders who have all the responsibility.

One interesting aspect of humanity, is that everyone is immersed in EXACTLY the same universe, with the same rules, the same physics, the same physical phenomenon. Yet there are wildly different, and contradictory views as to the nature of reality.
One would think, two people, with more or less the same senses, witnessing the same phenomenon would come to a similar conclusion.
Not so.
The way the brain is wired to interpret the input it recieves makes all the difference.
How you think determines what you see.
