They fell prey to one of the classic blunders. The first is this: Never get involved in a land war in Asia, and the second is: never chat with an AI when privacy is on the line!

If you told me that, I would tell you to fuck right off with this dehumanizing garbage. "Mind viruses" are analogies, and analogies are never perfect representations of what they're trying to convey.
Oh, it's this fucking bullshit again. Therefore memes are a mechanism of cultural evolution? No, that's not how evolution or memes work; that's putting the cart before the horse. Ever wonder where the concept of the "woke mind virus" came from? It's this right here. The ideas in this article are the originating source.
So thanks a lot, you pseudoscientistific and pseudopsychological dimwits. Your hot garbage ideas helped prop up a bunch of fascists, whose bread and butter is lies and half-truths. I hope you're embarrassed every time you hear someone mention the phrase "mind virus," but I doubt you have the presence of mind to realize what you've done.
Gesturing at imaginary diseases is not how you enact an anarchist vision. The facts of reality are sufficient, and pseudoscience like this only hinders that effort.
