Attributes of Political Correctness:

PC seeks to control language and debate or discussion by controlling words. It is a form of thought control, whereby
certain people or groups try to use it to impose an ideological viewpoint that is, in effect, totalitarian. The more vitriolic
or angry the person or groups of people, the more they have been influenced, sometimes dominated, by PC thought
control. Both so called liberals and conservatives use it even though it isnt liberal or conservative. Orwells term
Newspeak is basically another word for PC. PC is sometimes used to describe things that arent PC, so In order to
understand PC it helps to know what it is.
Rather than using ideas or logic to win whatever debate they might be in or to make a person or groups of people
aware, open minds or seek truth; PC users use PC to try and stifle debate or win an argument or debate or to try and
turn whoever they can against whomever they are arguing or at odds with.
They might talk about truth and express that they only want people to know the truth, but have no interest in hearing
opposing points of view or factual truth. They do want to impose their ideology or their idea of truth or try and use PC to
make whoever theyre arguing or debating with out to be bad personally, at least to others who might hold similar PC
viewpoints or have an ideologically dogmatic mindset and they will use PC as a tool for doing so.

In Communist Russia under Stalin, this was taken to its ultimate conclusion and tens of millions of innocent
people were either forced into re-education camps or killed. Anyone who did not hold or express the same
rigid PC point of view was attacked, accused, vilified and often killed or imprisoned. Whole groups and classes
of people were killed or imprisoned without having even said or written anything but simply for being in the
wrong group or class.
Science is the methodology for the determination of the most probable. But, even in science PC thought has
crept in, especially mainstream science. Fortunately it is being challenged.
Quote: Among scientists, "correctness" (of procedures, results, or scientific claims) derives from the
factual truth of the matter or the soundness of the reasoning by which it can be deduced from observations
and first principles. When publication, teaching, and public funding of science is decided by peer
committees, academic standards, and elected or appointed boards, the allegation can arise that a work's
acceptability has been assessed "politically". Professor J. I. Katz applies the term PC to censure
characterized by emotional, rather than rational discourse.
