People are trying to avoid the downside of social interaction.

Try writing a politically incorrect comment here and see instant refutation followed by downvotes.

People are not good at coming up with morally correct statements in a realtime situation, they don't want to be shunned by saying something unpopular. It's better to giveup on your own terms then be ostracized by a group.

They avoid interactions.

I have never seen a problem with being politically incorrect (I certainly have never tried to be PC and have made plenty of "offensive-sounding" arguments). Just do not be inflammatory, make the most offensive statements if you wish, and stop complaining when you get "instant refutation". Be honest in your arguments, do not try to defend yourself behind cries of "political correctness".
