Political Correctness

Acting with a degree of civility towards your fellow human beings; regarded as tyrannical suppression of free speech by conservatives who cannot bear to be respectful and considerate of women and minorities. Ironically, the term is wielded by hypersensitive right-wingers to smear and silence viewpoints that deviate even slightly from far-right ideology.

The term has become a convenient scapegoat for politicians to evade responsibility for their own failed policies and safeguard the status quo. By directing the people's anger away from the real sources of their problems and towards "political correctness", politicians successfully preclude genuine political discourse and actual problem-solving.
Person 1: Gays are disgusting disease-ridden sluts who should burn in hell.
Person 2: That's not nice.
Person 1: HELP!!! POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS SUPPRESSING MY FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!
