As is the case with many viruses, symptoms may vary, you can have one or more at the same time, and some are worse than others. The Woke Mind Virus is no different. Let us review.
1. You only read books written by those who call themselves “caring”, “for the people”, and “open-minded”.
2. Your favorite books are Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler and A People’s History of the United States by Howard Zinn. On your bedside table, you may also have a copy of Quotations from Chairman Mao colloquially referred to in the English-speaking world as the Little Red Book because of the color of its cover.
3. You leave TikTok because your freedom of speech was being taken away.
4. You immediately join Red Note, the CCP’s internal social media app for the Chinese living in China, and post complaints, griping freely about the government you lived under.
5. You are confused when your Red Note posts are blocked, and a warning issued by the CCP that you are breaking their rules.
6. You believe there are more than two genders (sexes).
7. You laugh at those who believe there are only two genders and accuse them of racism.
8. Your idea of equality is actually equity.
9. Believe all you’re told without doing research.
10. You trust “the science” without hesitation.
11. You respect the rights of others but only if they agree with you.
12. You embrace cooperation but only if the other person agrees with you.
13. You believe feelings are facts.
14. You care for the planet, but leave trash behind when you go to Burning Man.
15. Brush on forests floors means more to you than saving human lives.
16. You think Smokey the Bear is a shill for Republicans, Conservatives, and Libertarians.
17. You are unwilling to change your mind unless the information given you is approved by experts.
18. You approve of burning down cities when you don’t agree with the outcome of a court case.
19. You believe cheating is fine if it supports your cause.
20. You think Lawfare is perfectly fine to be deployed against those with whom you disagree.
21. Censorship is always right when your side does it.
22. To you, everybody who disagrees with you is Hitler or a Nazi or a racist or a homophobe, and so forth.
23. You think you know history.
24. You do not understand “If you fall for everything, you’ll stand for nothing.”
As you can see, those with the Woke Mind Virus symptoms can get very confused. However, the antidote to the WMV is quite simple:
Question everything and apply common sense.
