Toxic Anxiety 

Toxic anxiety occurs when an overwhelming base level of fearfulness towards the everyday world and ones limited control over it result in negative antisocial behavior and feeling strongly that you are a victim or a champion of victims. Toxic anxiety leads to extreme

nihilism, self victimization, bigotry, racisim and hatred toward those that have better circumstances the individual does as well as identity crises such as gender dysphagia.

Toxic anxiety is extremely prevalent in the woke and activist communities.
I ran into a group of feminist protestors on my way to work. They started screaming at me saying I was part of the patriarchy as a white male and that I should urinate sitting down. Their toxic anxiety towards men was to much to handle so I just walked through them letting out a juicy meat fart I had been saving since lunch. I could hear them all gagging as I walked away.
