The woke mind virus is joyless https://t.co/iEHJ8csdjm
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 17, 2024
The woke mind virus works like this:
It convinces you that every person who is concerned about oppression at all is "woke" and their entire worldview is broken because they've been taken over by a "mind virus."
But this is an agency robbing mythos. Those long time readers will understand that an agency-robbing mythos is /r/sorceryofthespectacle anti-nihilism weaponry: "if you discover an agency-robbing mythos, strip it from your thoughts entirely."
Because you can't build a solid theory of human interaction positing that humans at large are mindless automatons, even if they so often are, because then you accentuate the effect of their mindlessness.
But because the idea acts on the person holding it, not the person the idea is targeted at, the real victim of the woke mind virus... is Elon Musk himself.
He is unable to see his ideological opposition as humans, thinking humans, feeling humans, with sincere and relevant concerns. This makes him broken.
The "woke mind virus" makes NPCs of those who believe in it.
Yes, woke people are often obnoxious, self-righteous, annoying. But underneath all of that, they often have a very important point, and if you can't listen to that important point because of your ideology, you're the one who got mindkilled by an idea.
At its extremes, the belief in the "woke mind virus" becomes woke derangement syndrome.
Symptoms of Woke Derangement Syndrome
A sincere belief that of the two political candidates, the one with better policy positions is a boomer without any self control
Inability to fathom the difference between a immigration policy that takes the challenges of humans arriving on our soil seriously and outright hysteria about pets getting eaten leading to bomb threats against hospitals and schools
Confusion around the notion that Trump repeats a lie necessitating violence and the return of that violence to Trump.
Let me be clear here: if Trump is shot he will have deserved it. I'm not saying I hope that happens because it would be a very violent time in our country just because we couldn't get our boomer out of the room, but at least the dead boomer will stop talking.
Trump lost the 2020 election and the fact that he is running for presidency while repeating his outright delusion that he did not lose is a crisis that Elon Musk is handling poorly.
Elon Musk has become a threat to himself and others. An neurodivergent without a grounding in humanity. Target him for memetic bombardment.

Sure, but after 2020 I laugh at anyone who would argue that modern American leftism is any less violent.
Not like this is new for American leftism, either. Think of the Weather Underground and their bombing campaign. Or the Black Panthers, whose top leadership was largely made up of murderers, r*pists, and extortionists.

It exists in many forms, obviously proven and undeniable. But to call it inherently violent, violent from the get-go, is just bad faith declaration. Most rightoids are just right-leaning centrists (VERY similar to left being left-leaning centrists) who want illegals booted out of their country and less DEI in their tv shows. So: xenophobic, racist, even bigoted, but not violent. Not every rightoid is a 2A nut in the same way every lefty isn't a
y groomer.
It's akin to saying "are you on our side or the violent side?" Bad, bad, bad. This discourse won't get you anywhere but a place more divided. Same with rightoids getting nowhere by claiming they're the peaceful side and the other one is inherently violent with destruction of property (muh antifa) etc. It's always blame, blame, blame. We do nothing wrong and they're the bad/ignorant/woke/violent side.

Elon has been getting increasingly obviously distressed with politics. I genuinely think
that hes r-slurred 
enough 
that he himself, as the owner 
of xitter, has fallen 
victim 
to his own social 
media 
platform's problems. Like all social 
media 
platforms the algorithm naturally tends to move people towards more extreme 
positions, and despite 
having total control 
over this algorithm he himself 
has fallen 
victim 
to it, getting more extreme 
in his politics, and more depressed 
in his personal life because obviously everything he sees online 
is endlessly negative 
because thats what social 
media 
feeds to you keep you using the websites

it reminds me of my country, how drivers can rub off of each other in terms of bad behaviour, via sheer osmosis of behaviour patterns
even 10 years ago, driving wasn't as bad, we used to joke that BMW drivers were the biggest buttholes, but that Taxi drivers had infected all of us to drive as bad as they, without regards to signals, robots, merging or passing one another
you get the feeling some people are willing to kill you if it means they can get get ahead of you in the traffic jam, or tailgate you so badly that it seems they are trying to ram you off of the road
at least once a month, i have to take a breath and force myself to stop driving like a mid city Gauteng province lunatic, that recklessly passing by a slow driver isn't worth the 15 seconds i win to get home earlier after work - it is subtle, everyone around me I am horrified to realize have become worse and worse behaved drivers in South AFrica, and the police don't inforce good driving.
I mean this in that driving bounces off of one another, and like osmosis, nobody is immune from influence of culture, both the serious and mundane
I believe with the proliferation of Social Media, the same principle applies, there is much horror and fear and dread in the world, and the fear that people you whose ideology you hate are getting power over you, it can change the way you view everything, both online and IRL, and make you into a worse version of yourself.
I am fortunate that my shithole nation forces me to touch grass in work and on the weekends, when we have little electricity and internet, and I have notice how you can corrupt yourself via social media, just as Musk had though nearly a decade of unrelenting constant online fearmongered himself into increasingly extreme positions - so as we bounce cultural behaviour between each other

The mongrel dogs of the Americas have long since dishonored their houses by allowing more !nwahs in from various countries including the small island nation of Haiti and Honduras, Guatemala, Colombia, and the entirety of the sub-Saharan continent.

It's not so much of a virus, it's more like a contagious mental derangement. Many leftists are smart, and most are well-intentioned. But just like, for example, it is possible to be very smart yet fall for the mental derangement of Christianity (see JRR Tolkien, for example), it is also possible to be very smart yet fall for the mental derangement of leftism.
Trump is more likely to promote policies that reduce street crime, which would be a huge win. Granted, the Republicans are also to blame for our crime problems because they are so pro 2nd Amendment. However, the reality is that there is no realistic way to get guns away from all of America's violent scumbags. There are too many guns. We have the state capacity to take away the guns, but realistically speaking there is no way to get from where we are now politically to a place like that. On the other hand, it is not much of a stretch to get from where we are now to a place where we use state capacity to do the much simpler thing of just giving cops authorization to be much more pro-active.
So as far as I am concerned, Trump does have better policy positions vs Harris.
Ok, so Trump is a chaotic liar. So fricking what? Why should I care? What I care about is what he would be likely to do if he gets office. The system effectively contains the negative effects of Trump's bizarre personality. On the other hand, the system amplifies the destructive aspects of leftism.

Yeah, Roe v Wade was overturned but it's not like abortions were banned nation-wide. Trump also didn't build a wall, he did not deport any large number of illegal immigrants, he did not start WW3, he did not become a dictator, he did not bring about a theocracy, etc. Not like he even wanted to do half of those things to begin with, anyway.
Roe v Wade being overturned is impactful but it's not even at all the result of Trump's eccentricities. Trump doesn't care about abortion, it's just that overturning Roe v Wade is something that Republicans had been working on for decades and they finally managed to do it because Trump won, but it is not the result of anything that has to do with Trump himself, really.

It was known for 50 years that Roe v Wade wouldn't stand up to scrutiny. RGB had been warning about this for decades, during which the Dems had many opportunities to pass actual federal abortion laws. They refused do this because once the law is settled Dems will lose 20% of the histrionic foid vote.
It was pure coincidence that at the time when Roe v Wade had finally moved through all the layers of the legal system to the Supreme Court Trump happened to be POTUS.
