      Some people put way too much stock in “common sense” as some blanket assumption and insult to lob at anything and everything they don’t like.

      They internally define what they believe to be “common” and everything that deviates is outside of that. They use it to fuel their own sense of self satisfaction and smugness, while additionally fueling negativity and hatred for others.

      It fuels their toxicity and comes to define their view of everything, which is typically grossly oversimplified for their own needs.
