indiscriminate
This term describes a lack of selectivity, often carrying a negative connotation of recklessness or carelessness. It suggests a blind application of action where the actor fails to distinguish between what is valuable and what is harmful, or between a target and an innocent bystander. In a social or intellectual context, it refers to a lack of critical judgment. While "impartial" is usually positive, "indiscriminate" implies a dangerous or foolish inability to differentiate, such as in the case of indiscriminate violence or indiscriminate eating habits.
