Example:
Religious fundamentalist: Damn those hippies and those queers, with their drugs and buttsecks; they're the reason for everything wrong in this country!! We didn't have problems like this back in my day when everyone listened to God and followed his morality!!!
Rationalist: No, back in your day you had unfair labor practices and sweat shops to contend with. The root of most of our problems are rooted in poverty and ignorance. If we regulated drug sales gangs would dissolve for lack of income. The revenue generated by drug sales and gay weddings could provide quality education and health care for everyone.

A serious mental illness characterized by someone thinking that their opinions are solid fact and are intrinsically true. People with OMS tend to be very closed minded, who can't think for themselves, and often resort to the easiest line of thinking possible so that their tiny little brains can comprehend it.
Unfortunately, OMS is almost untreatable. The syndrome starts developing in childhood from sources such as but not limited to: family, culture, religion, and politics. If the idea of morality being subjective isn't instilled in childhood, then OMS is likely to develop in adolescence and solidify in adulthood. By adulthood, the damage has already been done, and the person can no longer comprehend a world where they aren't right.
You can help stop the spread of OMS by understanding that morality is subjective, and not one culture, political belief, philosophical implication, or idea of the world, is intrinsically correct. A wall being the color red is objectively true, but red being the best color for that wall is subjective. You may also learn how to stop the spread of misinformation, which often caters to people with OMS.
Examples of people likely to be suffering from OMS:
-Religious people
-Old people
-Political radicals
-People who lack higher level education
-The majority of American Republicans
