Ahh, yes. The world does ply its fruits in a most unbalanced fashion, so let us all even out the ante and make everything square. And thus, let us abandon any aspiration or ambition to set for ourselves a fortuitious or comfortable life, for it is our solemn purpose in the world to toil and make effort for the charitable benefit of all others. It matters not whether you work hard or stay lax in your endeavours, for you will be compelled to give away what excess you haveâ until you stand at an equal footing with the lowest common who has been bolstered by your re-appropriated wealth. Choose to work hard, you will be reduced. Choose to not work at all, and you will be elevated by the hand of the state.
Be ambitious as you want. Dream as far as you want. Someone else will be here to tell you that those ambitions and dreams are not for you, and will tell you to give it up so that one in a wretched situation can exist in a slightly-less state of wretchedness.
But the wretchedness! What shall we do to dispel it? Shall we attack the conditions and factors which created the beleagured situation in the first place? Nay, we shall give handouts and alleviate the current state of suffering whlst making no conscious effort nor addressment at the forces that created this suffering. Deal with the pain of the nowâ and let our children deal with this exact same pain in the later...

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
