Clearly I struck a nerve with everyone, which I find hilarious.
I’m not a MAGAT. I said that because it’s legitimate and true to some degree whether I agree with the words woke mind virus or not it was a means to explain the phenomenon.
Everyone has some sort of idea, intuition, theory, about literally everything now days in some crazy fashion, 5g world domination, implants in blood draws, wild things you see. The government, food, tech, tv shows. What I was speaking on loosely and fast just as a simple comment to OP was that there literally seems like a woke mind virus now days because its ingrained in everyone.
I only used woke mind virus because that’s what most people see on the news and hear about, so they understand loosely the context I speak about. Was more to get my point across, be active in this sub, and be relatable to OP. Again. Not a MAGAT so everyone commenting and being offended, while your entitled to feel how you feel my post was simply taken far out of context.
Edit: I think this post helps prove my point or atleast reaffirm what I was meaning. Everyone below was quick to lash out, downvote, with any sort of understanding or discussion. That in and of itself is part of the issue. People being so ingrained in their feelings and view that it inhibits productive discussion and behaviour.
you seem to be describing conspiracy theorists, or fantastical thinkers. “wokeism” is just a derogatory way fascists refer to queer people or leftists as if they were a conspiracy.
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. 😅
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 🇺🇸. 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. 🏳️⚧️
Nah, I guess it’s the right thing to try to engage in a productive discussion. Might sound stupid but lemmy is far smaller than traditional social media. It’s like a local tavern of social medias, and there’s isn’t an endless supply of trolls like there’s on other social medias. Besides having conversation with someone of opposing ideas is always welcomed.
Care to explain what you mean by that?
Sure.

Unfortunately, to a lot of people, this does relate to something personal.
And to demand perfect rationality of people in such situations, or those sympathizing with said people, doesn’t seem very… rational.
