While both the left and the right have their own forms of ideological conformity, the term "political correctness" is associated with left ideological conformity. There is a reason that ideological purges and struggle sessions throughout history are associated with the left. I realize that "political correctness" is a loaded term, but I agree with its connotations and I'm not interested in feigning neutrality.

As for Scott, I cannot comment on that particular case, but him as a leader of NRx wouldn't make sense anyway because he isn't right-leaning enough.
