What's a thought pattern that's way too common and damaging to society?

Well I'm not one to laugh when I go into a room full of people and upset everyone. But you do you I guess.

To my understanding "woke mind virus" is far different than the things you described. What you described are common misinformation given to people in lower economic backgrounds to sow discourse among the working class . To me the "woke mind virus" is more of an understanding of how systemic racism and sexism in many laws have kept many people intentionally in poverty.

In short, you're like, using the words wrong around here bruv.

    I suppose I was a bit pedantic about it, what I really mean is that people take things far too personal and it's a bit ridiculous to me. Perhaps I should not have said it was hilarious it was more of an expression of absurdity to me.

    English is not my language. I do my best. I contribute, I write in english to do better learning. I still think if you look at some of the replies on Lemmy an to my comment above. People don't have open minds. Quick to ridicule and cast out. Most people seem to have the view of theirs and only theirs. Everyone opposing is bad. That is not good for anyone and the world.

    Yeah there seems to be a lot of closed mindedness everywhere. And I think people were always quick to ridicule and cast out. At least that's what my dad's music says at least. πŸ˜…

    I guess we've had different experiences. I don't think most people I meet feel like it's their way only. Except for a few notable exceptions πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ. I do think that a lot of people feel and think the opposing "side" is bad.

    But at the same time I don't really blame people for being that way. The stakes are seem to be getting higher.

    One example that comes to mind is in my country. The highest level of government overturned a law that protected the bodily autonomy of women a few years ago. In my country if you have a uterus in some places, the local governments can imprison, and even put you to death if your pregnancy goes a way the government doesn't like. I have not heard of anyone being executed yet though. Only imprisoned.

    Essentially one half of our species trying to subjugate the other half. Oh and by the way, it's been that for a really long time. Down with the Patriarchy. ♀️

    Or just the other day; A person in one of the most powerful positions of our species threatened to wipe out an entire civilization.

    I agree that almost all of the conflict and suffering our species places on ourselves is a waste of time, hampering us, and is bad. But for some people it is a fight for survival. And I suspect those people most likely won't be open-minded with "only a little genocide!".

    I spent way too much time writing this so I probably won't respond. I'm going to play some Foxhole. Good luck in the trials ahead for our species in the coming years, stranger. Don't forget Trans Rights Are Human Rights. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ
