Sad world we live in nowadays. We must not be proud of our flag, we must not believe in a higher and positive spirituality (whatever the form or the name), we must not have an opinion, and definitelly not make a stand for what we believe in, however right it is. We are being turned into drones.

You're painting a misleading and ridiculous picture.
On the barest grounds, political correctness means being mindful of the words we use so as not to cause needless offence.
Obviously you can pick out extreme cases of people being stupid and call the whole endeavor ridiculous. That's fair enough.
But when you say that "we can't believe in a higher spirituality" you're talking absolute rubbish. Same goes for the rest of the world you describe.
