  I think it’s in the top 5:

  1. Capitalism

  2. Patriarchy

  3. Racism (I consider this tied with patriarchy tbh)

  4. Religion

  5. People who take two seats on public transit with no justification

    Religion is a rationale for other evils. It is in itself not evil.

    Patriarchy and racism (and many religions do that too) are all the same thing - chauvinism, the belief in the superiority of the own group. This also includes nationalism, homophobia, xenophobia and any other “I hate you because you are different”-isms

    So I’d go with:

    1. Chauvinism
    2. Capitalism (greed)
    3. People who blast music on speaker in public transit

      Wildly better list. One of the failings of liberal/left minded people in recent decades has been to become list makers. “We will stand up for the rights of women [pause for applause], blacks [pause for applause], the elderly [pause for applause], etc…” sounds real nice until someone listening says “what about me?” It’s a losing political strategy in a world where the words “All Americans” and “everyone” exist. At the absolute least, tag those words on the end.

      To be clear since this keeps coming up from people who like to put words in other people’s mouths then tell them those words are wrong, I am not saying laws can’t protect/benefit marginalized groups. This is about communication.
