Here’s How The Looters Got Away With It

Prosecutors in Manhattan and the Bronx have recently liberated hundreds of
justice-involved youths who faced potential legal consequences for their
participation last year in mostly peaceful protests aimed at dismantling
systems of oppression. If you don’t speak “woke” — the new name for the same
old scourge of political correctness — all that piffle means the city let
looters off the hook. Meanwhile, prosecutors are preparing to hold
insurrectionists and traitors accountable for their attemptedcoup d’état at the
Capitol on January 6 — or, in English, the feds are throwing the book at
trespassers in horn helmets who made a mess of Nancy Pelosi’s desk and stole
her lectern.


The power of political correctness lies not merely in what leftists insist we
cannot say but also what they make us say instead. Polite societies use
euphemisms. We refer to old women as “women of a certain age.” We mourn those
who have “passed away” rather than those who died. In prior ages, ladies went
to “powder their nose” and still use the “bathroom” or the “restroom” rather
than the toilet. Those euphemisms soften harsh realities, but they don’t
contradict them. The old woman is indeed a woman of a certain age. The poetical
“passing away” describes the spiritual fact of death. Women may indeed powder
their noses after they’ve done whatever else they would do in rooms that often
include a bath and in which anyone might rest.
