This isn't an oopsie. It's a stupid person, or mentally ill person. Who hangs out only with equally stupid or equally mentally ill person. They repeat stuff like this to each other, do the whole woke / big brained thing on it, then do it 1000 times more on similar topics until they work themselves up into a frothy furor about it.

Then they talk to a normal person and see the normal person shun them, and realize they can't do it with 99% of the population... but they can find others online who they can share their lunatic opinions with. The Internet has been great for bringing together the crazies in a way that never existed.
