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. 🏳️‍⚧️

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.

Nice free fertilizer. What a thoughtful person.

Admittedly, I don’t know much about Iran. I’ve heard they have a lot of mountains so land invasions would be a nightmare. Also there was that one time…reagan sold missiles to Iran to pay for a war in South. Thanks american dad. 👍

That’s a lot of broad observations in one paragraphs. 😅

I’ve heard there’s an uptick in videos of, and in general, men feeling bad. I don’t use many social media platforms so I couldn’t confirm it.

I don’t think I’ve seen any uptick in young men finding confidence. I think maybe the opposite problem is happening. Young men are gaining confidence and finding their “manliness” in really questionable habits and ideals.

I don’t know about the rest of the world but yeah in the US/Oregon the job market does not seem very happy right now.

I think dating has become hard for everyone. Men and Women. And everyone else too. 🏳️‍🌈

I have a lack of hope for the future but I’m just one person.

I use to feel physically unwell but I got a bunch of drugs from Oregon Health Plan.
