Political correctness (abbreviated PC) means censorship (often self censorship) of language, [science](science.md), [art](art.md) and facts according to the [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) gospel. It is extremely harmful to society as it not only puts people and science under heavy control and censorship, but also creates a great conflict between its proponents and those who value truth, freedom of art, science and communication. Political correctness is mainly a political tool that allows elimination (so called [cancelling](cancel_culture.md)) and discrediting opposition of pseudoleftist political movements and parties.
Political correctness goes strictly against [free speech](free_speech.md), it tries to force people "to behave" and be afraid of words and talking, it creates conflict, divides the society and also TEACHES people to be offended by language -- i.e. even if a specific word wouldn't normally be used or seen in a hostile way (e.g. the *master branch* in git repositories), political correctness establishes that NOW IT IS OFFENSIVE and specific minorities SHOULD take offense, even if they normally wouldn't, supporting [offended culture](offended_culture.md) and [fight culture](fight_culture.md). I.e. political correctness can be called [cancer](cancer.md) of society.
The idea itself is not only dangerous but pretty stupid, it is a [bullshit](bullshit.md) [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) idea that says we should forcefully restrain from using language they define as "[offensive](offended_culture.md)" to certain selected groups of people. For example the [SJW](sjw.md) gospel declared that in the realm of technology the word *[blackbox](blackbox.md)* is "offensive" to [black people](nigger.md) and as such should be [censored](censorship.md) and replaced with another term (one they would call more "inclusive"), anyone who refuses to conform will be [cancelled](cancel_culture.md). Indeed this is probably the peak of retardedness.
