"So, how do we—the new resistance—fight back against an authoritarian Left that has embedded itself at the top of our major institutions? How do we stop an authoritarian Left dedicated to revolutionary aggression, top-down censorship, and anti-conventionalism?

We reverse the process begun by the authoritarian Left so long ago: we refuse to allow the authoritarian Left to silence us; we end the renormalization of our institutions and return them back to actual normalcy; and we pry open the doors they have welded shut.

The first step in unraveling authoritarian leftist dominance of our institutions is our refusal to abide by their rules. The authoritarian Left engaged in a three-step process directed toward cudgeling Americans into supporting their agenda. First, they relied on the Cordiality Principle—the principle that Americans ought to be cordial, and thus inoffensive—to make Americans uncomfortable about dissenting from prevailing social views of the New Ruling Class. Next, they made the argument that to speak up against the New Ruling Class amounted to a form of violence. Finally, they argued that failure to echo the New Ruling Class was itself a form of harm—“Silence is violence.”

We must reject each one of these steps, in reverse order.

First, we must reject the imbecilic notion that “silence is violence.” It isn’t. At all. Too often, it’s insanity. When it comes to children, the principle translates with simple response: ignoring bad behavior should not be allowed. That’s a tough principle for parents to learn (I know; I’ve had to practice). But it’s precisely our attention that often gives radicals their power. Imagine if, instead of rushing to respond to the pseudo-urgent needs of the latest establishment media-driven mob, we simply shrugged and moved on. Their power would be gone. We don’t have to engage. And we certainly don’t have to echo.

Second, we must firmly reject the notion that speech is violence. Dissent isn’t violence, disagreement isn’t harm. That’s because politics isn’t an identity; it isn’t a denial of someone’s identity to disagree with them. We know this in our everyday personal relationships—we disagree with those we love most of all, on a regular basis. They don’t feel that we’re “denying their humanity” or “doing them violence.” They understand that if they wish to be treated as adults, they ought to subject their views to the scrutiny of others. Anyone who utters the phrase “speech is violence” should be immediately discounted as a serious human being.

Third, and most carefully, we must deny the conflation of cordiality and inoffensiveness implicit in the Cordiality Principle. To be cordial does not mean to be inoffensive. As I’m fond of saying, “Facts don’t care about our feelings.” That doesn’t mean that we should be deliberately rude. It does mean, however, that we shouldn’t allow others’ subjective interpretations of our viewpoints to rule our minds. We cannot grant others an emotional veto over our perspectives. To oppose same-sex marriage, for example, should not be considered prima facie offensive; one can make a perfectly plausible argument preferring traditional marriage without hating those who oppose it. To go silent in the face of important societal issues out of fear that you might offend is just a recipe for emotional blackmail.

In rejecting the Cordiality Principle, we need not give cover to those who deliberately offend. To be politically incorrect means to say that which requires saying, not to be a generic, run-of-the-mill jerk. There’s a difference between making an argument against same-sex marriage and calling someone an ugly name. In fact, conflating the two grants the authoritarian Left enormous power: it allows them to argue that nonliberal points of view ought to be quashed in order to prevent terrible behavior. Fighting political correctness requires a willingness to speak truth and the brains to speak the truth cogent, clear, and objectively decent language.

When we fight back in this way, we win. We win because bravery draws followers; we win because honesty without vile behavior draws admirers. Once again, this isn’t an issue of Left versus Right. It’s an issue of upholding values clear: a pluralistic democracy. Values that should be held in common across the political spectrum, and in direct opposition to the authoritarian Left."
