#1: White supremacy (this includes racism)
#2: Poverty/Classism
#3: Media/advertising
#4: Feminism
#5: Environmental issues

I honestly thought #4 would be higher, but after much thought, although feminism is bad, there are many tings worse than it.
I was gonna say #1 - Ego, but a lot of the world problems stem from humans ego. I want to be more specific on more tangible things. Same could be said for lack of empathy.

If you're looking at the world in a macro view racism can't be number one.

Number one is environmental disturbances. Permafrosts are melting. Artic ice caps are in danger of melting and will raise sea levels.

Oceans will become warmer and fish will move hundreds of miles away to accommodate themselves.

Underground arsenic is one of the biggest issues if we aren't able to seal it before it makes it way on up here.

Add in the ozone layer, countries not reducing emissions and no solutions for landfills there is no present issue more drastic than the environment.

Most of your list is from being on the internet.

if you honestly think feminism is even in the top 100 you've spent too much time on the coli
This I honestly dont think media makes sense either considering the consumer has more power to filter bullshyt than ever. Environmental is number one though without a doubt because it will make virtually every major issue worse if we don't do something about it.

that's true, and i thought of that too. But I guess i'm looking more from an interpersonal level.

Your last sentence is absolutely ignorant and arrogant though seeing that you have no idea how the problems i've mentioned have affected me.

well you're pretty optimistic about the intelligence of the average person and their ability to discern between spoon fed lies and truth, aren't you?
Also, you don't believe that the media has major influence over society? both in a conscious AND subconscious way? Subconscious programming is the whole point of circumnavigating a persons filter.

I agree with almost all of this except the ozone. I thought it has actually been proven that the hole is smaller now?

Many people are not capable of filtering but it was a time when they didn't even have the option and I do believe people get better with this all the time. Yes it has an influence as information and disinformation always does i don't think this belongs in the top 5 though.

Since white supremacy is a direct cause of classism, how the media advertises, and feminism let's go with that

I should've been more specific in the OP. Then what would be the top #5 on an interpersonal level?

classism would probably still exist even without white supremacy. It would probably look differently though.

""I fixed the thread title to make it specific on an interpersonal level.

Feminism causes the distrust and disturbance of relations between the sexes to the point of less birth rates, incels causing school shootings, and the invention, advancement, and normalization of life-like sex dolls which would destroy humanity. I'd like to say i can see where this is going, but I could be wrong :yeshrug:

The ozone is actually healing so you are correct. The hole is over the artic and that's an issue by itself.

Believe it or not chloroform is still degrading the ozone layer. The number 1 offender is China,we would hope they regulate themselves on this but it's unlikely. The chloroform will delay projected recovery dates set by the UN.

As they fight for #1 in global dominance I can't see their use of chloroform decreasing.
