It has no specific meaning, there has been opposition to the word 'bigot' yet this has a set definition, a criterion, if you make a statement that is by definition bigoted then stand by that and own it... don't cry nonsense words.
PC or politically correct is for me a term that infers something was legislated for and passed into law, if you are politically correct you are acting within the remit of the law...is this not a civil duty, so to go against this would this not be an act of civil disobedience?
'PC supporters, by behaving in a manner in common with those they deride, have done no favours for the minority groups they proport to defend'
What does this mean?... We will attack minority groups even though it is against the law and if you object then you are just making things worse?.... I don't understand, is this another way of saying 'put up and shut up? be complacent? compliant?
I am not 'PC' I am a free thinker, it is a tool of social control to attach labels to things to create folk devils, such as PC , SJW these can then be used to group individuals together who are totally unconnected to make it easier to rail against them.
Those who oppose the mistreatment of any minority group are not to blame for the rise of authoritarianism more those who allowed themselves to be manipulated into thinking that this was a right and proper thing to do on a civil, legal and human level. My feeling is that those against those who aren't is more than likely to do with guilt... they know deep down that it's wrong but it makes them feel bad to be constantly reminded of it. Hence the blanket terms and derision.

In brief it means without PC and its attempted gagging of 'free speech' when not in keeping with it's own way of thinking, which has undermined its position with its hypocrisy, a backlash against the principles it claims to uphold would not have been the inevitable result.
It isn't so much about objecting but how people go about objecting. Effectively attempting to gag one type of free speech for another was always going to be a disaster.
Btw we are all free-thinkers but only some of us it seems want to be able to have the right to express free thought.
