- Corporate anything.
- Lack of free media / news sources.
- Discourse-shaping in media.
- Lack of transparency in the government.
- Denying human rights.
- Lack of universal healthcare.
- Lack of universal education that includes university.
- Diminishing quality of education.
- War.
- Censorship.
- Any kind of abuse, particularly of children.
- Lack of complete and thorough sex ed in school. Teaching abstinence doesn't work.
- Social conservatism.
- Lack of body-positivity / body-policing. (Stop equating "fat" as "lazy," stop making people feel like they have to "take care of themselves," stop thinking that gaining / losing weight is a choice / is easy for everyone just because you could do it.)
- Lack of sex-positivity. (Stop saying the word "slut" / slut-shaming, particularly when you simply mean somebody is showing interest in someone else's monogamous partner, because that's not a "slut," as there is nothing wrong with "sluts;" that's an inconsiderate asshole.)
- Xenophobia. ("Feeling like I'm in Mexico when I go to the Wal-Mart," "Brazilian tourists at Disney World," and hating that there's a Spanish-language option, really? Particularly coming from someone claiming to hate both racism and ignorance. Also, pretending to speak a language you don't speak by making nonsense noises with your mouth? Offensive much?)
- Racism. This is a bit different than xenophobia.
- Lack of gender positivity.
- Lack of sexuality positivity.
- People who can't keep an open enough mind to discuss things, esp if they disagree with me politically.
- Apathy borne of ignorance.
- Apathy borne of disillusionment.
- People that don't think about others and aren't courteous to fellow human beings, so they do obnoxious, selfish things, like people who are obnoxious drivers, or people that don't put the toilet paper on after they finish, and so on.

- The need for guardian consent for minors to get sexual health things, including information, testing, birth control, and abortion.
- Lack of mental illness positivity, like, people being really insensitive about mental illness.
- Jokes about / casual usage of: Rape, abuse, mental illness, fat / skinny people, body hair, genitalia that look ~weird, bodies in general.
- Stereotypes / people that hate on whole groups of people / people that hate on whole areas, states, countries, nationalities, continents, or ethnicities. The hate is always based on some ridiculous, ignorant misconception.
- Misogyny of any kind, particularly internalized misogyny, like, "I'm not like other, more shallow, more annoying, more inept girls because..." and calling each other "bitch" or "cunt," like, can you possibly choose another word? English is full of synonyms that don't have misogynistic implications.
- Over-zealous parents that push their kids too hard.
- Bad parents in general.
- Driving under the influence. Of anything. Including lack of sleep.
- For-profit educational institutions.
