Yes, the people in the elites are seeking to use hypersensitization to force people into using the language that they want people to use. They are also making us normalized towards many kinds of violence too. Basically political correctness is in a way cultural genocide. If you haven't seen it, I suggest you read this shower thought of mine involving language:

I generally agree.

They are also making us normalized towards many kinds of violence too.

I went to Germany and went on this castle tour, the guide was talking about how Germany was such a militaristic culture in the late 1890s that the Christmas trees even had tiny silver cannons as ornaments. It's a small detail, but thousands of cultural details like that add up and normalize things like war in the minds of the people living that culture.

It's really fascinating and subtle.
