common sense

something most people don't have.
more of the world doesn't have common sense,
than people in the world that do have it.
it's something that should explain itself.
obviously.

common sense only tells you that you should know what common sense is.

common sense

bunch of bullshit, used to support all sorts of bullshit, bigotry and hate (anti-gay, anti-black rights, women's rights over history). It deals with social skills (know when to talk, when to shut up, how to have fun (but not act like a fool), how to walk, how to talk, etc. Just bullshit.
