The [[blackpill]] tends to be politically incorrect, as it involves a dispassionate and objective understanding of the world even at the risk that some individuals or groups may become upset or disheartened by inconvenient or unflattering truths. Political correctness not only impacts the work of politicians, but it also forces scientists to either be less direct with their findings or completely avoid engaging in research on certain subjects.<ref>''The Evolutionary Origins and Biological Underpinnings of Cognitive Differences between the Sexes'', Roderick Kaine, Arktos, 2016</ref> | The [[blackpill]] tends to be politically incorrect, as it involves a dispassionate and objective understanding of the world even at the risk that some individuals or groups may become upset or disheartened by inconvenient or unflattering truths.

== PC and incels == | |||
Most, but not all, recent incel communities such as [[braincels]] have had a strong anti-PC stance as evidenced by their provocative [[meme]]s and satire. | |||
Political correctness and related policing of men's speech and behavior may aggravate [[shyness]] in [[shycel]]s and lead to increased [[approach anxiety]] and hence reduced [[reproductive success]]. | |||

PC likely results from bureaucracies maintaining or extending their power through enforcing already popular values by means of policed speech. E.g. political activists may be able to advance their careers through enforcing and [[virtue signaling]] these values, or they may be able to eliminate political opponents or engage in entryism. Similar dynamics are found in all authoritarian systems, regardless of the underlying system of values. | PC likely results from bureaucracies maintaining or extending their power through enforcing already popular values by means of policed speech.
