Political movements
and governments have always attempted to control public opinion using all means
available to herd the people from one disaster to another. They use whatever
emotional manipulation that works at the time.
Alphonse and Gaston - The
absurdity of excessive politeness was revealed in 1903 with the introduction of
Alphonse and Gaston. Alphonse and Gaston was an American comic strip by Frederick Burr Opper,
featuring a bumbling pair of Frenchmen with a penchant for politeness.
The World according to
Thumper – In 1942, Disney released “Bambi”, a story about an orphaned deer and
his friends. One of these friends was Thumper, who said: ”If you can’t say
anything nice, don’t say anything at all”. At the time, moms were trying to get
their kids to be polite, but it became the genesis for today’s version of
political correctness.
