The Perfection of Political Correctness

Corruption of language

Uspjeh moje zajednice je i moj uspjeh, i obratno. Ako pružimo otpor svom okruženju, šanse da će se stanje popraviti su mnogo veće nego da nismo uradili ništa. Kao pripadnici tzv. globalnog prekarijata, naša budućnost je neizvjesna gdjegod se nalazili – tako da ta diplomica za koju trpite profesore debile ne garantuje savršen život ni u inostranstvu. Ali ono što garantuje bolji život na nastavi je organizovanje studenata u studentsku asocijaciju, ujedinjen bojkot podobnih predavača, generalno pravljenje havarije na Univerzitetu radi kvalitetnije nastave, te šutanje studentskih predstavnika-ulizica. Plate državnih službenika kapaju iz vaših novčanika (tj. novčanika naših roditelja, ups) i lijepo ih je povremeno na to podsjetiti. Njihov posao je da poboljšaju život zajednice, i ako to ne rade, a ne možemo da ih se riješimo, onda ne zaslužuju da posao rade u prijatnoj atmosferi. Oni nas ne štede, pa zašto bismo mi njih? Jezik je političan. U našim školama se jezik predaje na osnovu lingvistike iz 19-og stoljeća, koja propisuje jednu jedinu “ispravnu” verziju jezika, uprkos tome što je jezik živ, promjenljiv, i što u suštini ta isključivost/normativnost služi da odvoji “prave” obrazovane građane od seljaka. Jezik u institucijama služi za reproduciranje i opravdavanje trenutnog poretka. Ko određuje koja je to verzija jezika najtačnija? Ko predaje taj ispravni jezik? Kako se on zove? Šta je “dozvoljeno” reći u kulturnom društvu? Jezik kao sredstvo komunikacije omogućuje organizovanje najširih krugova društva oko istog problema, na osnovu njega se može formirati nacionalni identitet i država (takođe zastarjela ideja iz 19-og stoljeća) i ako se više ustručavamo misleći da li ćemo nešto ispravno reći nego kako se najbolje izraziti, držimo se jezičkih normi koje su uvedene u nastavni plan i program prije par godina, i ismijavamo druge zbog dijalekta, sistem je uspio, i na nas se sada mogu primiti sve druge njegove nelogičnosti. Korumpiranost na poziciji moći je izbor, kao što je izbor i otpor običnog čovjeka.
