We have spent many years revolving around politically correct and we started to see some of his perverse effects, surely underestimated. One of those effects for which you need perspective, like to see the grass grow. has ended up becoming a kind of gilded cage for reality, between the bars from which radicalism escapes, especially that of the right. The center and the political left should be courageous when tackling complex issues as immigration, marginality, the problem of access to housing, the increase in the cost of life, security. They are complex problems, slow to solve, loaded with nuances, which make the extremes profitable by simplifying them. They contain a wide range of grays for which we no longer have attention spans. Neither patience nor desire, because we have become accustomed to the rhythm of the displacement of ‘posts’ in the social networks, action-reaction, and also because there are those who take the opportunity to take the shortcut of simple and binary solutions, the good guys against the bad guys. Of course, the cage of the politically correct and the necessary purpose of not stigmatize certain groups prevents pronouncing with the exact words some problems. For example, in terms of security or occupation. Or that it is a risky sport to say that someone who earns three thousand euros in Barcelona may have problems making ends meet. It should not be so risky, it is a piece of information that should give us the measure that things are becoming more difficult for more people, even those who earn a salary, which is bad news for those who were already in bad shape before.
