Political correctness comes with a funny little phenomenon in a form of constant [bullshit](bullshit.md) cycle of **banning old words that gained negative connotation and forcing newly invented clean-slate words** -- in the past when official medical terms such as *idiot*, *imbecile*, *moron*, *cretin* and *mongoloid* started to be seen as "offensive", a new, politically correct term *mental retardation* was invented to replace them -- of course, the term *retardation* later became seen as offensive too so they had to invent new terms, one of the newest ones seem to be *neurodivergency* -- this term will itself become highly offensive in about 10 to 20 years. At that time it will be extremely funny to browse the web archive and seeing people proudly proclaiming they are "neurodivergent" when at the time it will be seen as if they nowadays proclaimed they are a retarded idiot :D The term [autism](autism.md) currently seems to be going through the transition from politically correct to "offensive", the Internet already made the word "autistic" largely synonymous to "stupid". Giving in to these trends is not just harmful by giving approval to the idea of language control, it's also just plain stupid, just as following any kind of [fashion](fashion.md).
**Political correctness fuels racism** (racism in the true sense of the word, i.e. hatred between human races). Before political correctness there wasn't as much hatred between human races as there is today. Exploitation yes -- black people were exploited just like workers are exploited by bourgeoisie, but there wasn't really hatred, just as there isn't a hatred of your boss towards you or of as there is no hatred of the slaughterer towards the pig. Hate is a construct of political correctness that tries to start a [war](war.md) to which hatred is a prerequisite.
Yet another harmfulness of political correctness is by making people too focused on shallow words instead of focusing on real issues. It's not just the harsh punishments for saying certain banned words, even if they wouldn't do much actual damage, it is also the opposite -- inventing new words and offering them as "solutions" to issues. For example it's completely absurd how some very old people who have been outsiders for their whole lives because they're simply weird, shy, too stupid or smart, are suddenly offered a supposed comfort by being told: "you're not weird, you're just neurodivergent!" The guy is like "OH MY GOD, my whole life I have suffered, I thought I was just not good with people, but in fact I was just neurodivergent my whole life -- if only I knew back then!". The amount of stupidity is incredible.
Let us now compare how we, [LRS](lrs.md), approch the issue of "getting offended" versus how the pseudoleft does it. We start with the "problem": people are getting offended. What do we do?
