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.

During a market correction, the psychic prison to which those normally on the 'outside' are sentenced. The farther stock prices fall, the smaller, darker and colder their corner offices appear, and the more desperately helpless they feel.
Watching stock prices plunge, for reasons beyond anyone's control, the new prisoner confronted his fear of being forced to live like all the other poor inmates, locked in the market correctional facility for life, his one-percenter's luxuries a fading dream of the golden past.
