Consider the implications of substituting \u201cpolitical incorrectness\u201d for \u201csin\u201d.<\/p>\n
Crime(political incorrectness()) is integral to the Public Cult of Progressivism.<\/p>\n
Accusations of \u201cpolitical incorrectness\u201d serve the same function as accusations of \u201csin\u201d in the now-supplanted Christian culture.\u00a0 They deter (political) resistance to Progressive structures of regulating virtue.<\/p>\n

Like \u201csin\u201d, \u201cpolitical incorrectness\u201d labels actual acts, persons or situations.\u00a0 \u201cSin\u201d is a Christian theological term.\u00a0 \u201cPolitical incorrectness\u201d stands for a wide variety of Progressive cryptotheological terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
