The decline of coercive sanctimony. (Devine).(political ideologies)
THE TIDE is running out on political correctness from the Left. Whether there is a new tide building from the Right is open to question. Mark Latham, Labor's inheritor from Paul Keating of the "vision thing", says there is. But I've long believed that a better term for political correctness in its Australian form is coercive sanctimony.
Coercion is not unknown to the Right in modem times, but mostly it has been exercised with a surly consciousness of sin. I don't believe the Right has indulged in exaggerated displays of holiness, nor donned the cloak of untrammelled virtue, since the Crusades. When it comes to sanctimony, the Left has had a near monopoly.
