Is the "woke mind virus" a euphemism or do people believe there's an actual virus? I could imagine something like that coming from people who make videos about chemtrails.

I don’t know if he started it, but I’ve heard Musk use that phrase so I’m sure it helps the deplorables feel like real galaxy brains for hating the right people.

I'm sure to almost all, it is a euphemism. Although I'd also bet there are some people in Florida and Alabama who believe it is a literal virus that is spreading like wildfire through college campuses.

Do you think the people who use language like that understand what viruses actually are, besides "something infectious"?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

No, to most of them viruses and bacteria are all just "germs". But considering how many people believe fluoride is for mind control I can easily imagine them believing the "Biden crime family" are literally spreading mind-control germs that turn people gay or atheist or make them love SoCiALiZm.

nope it's not a euphemism or nope they don't believe it's an actual virus?

They think trans people only exist because of propaganda.

[–] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

They don't think its a virus.
