Social media users,
acting as a mob to inaugurate the tyranny of the masses
As of late, under
conditions of increasing distress caused by the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic,
social unrest was triggered on US soil by the death of George Floyd.
The world witnessed
chaos setting in during a week of protests, while the president elect babbled
about blame and ominous weapons using social media accounts which polarized the
country. Opinions are getting slammed in face of counterparts, instead of
expressed. Words are used as weapons of blaming and shaming. Sides are being
chosen and partisans throw everything at each other, including the kitchen
sink.
Amidst all this
nonsense, I caught a headline - Krist Novoselic Deactivates Twitter After Trump
Praise Backlash. (source)
I also
read the ex-Nirvana bass player's post. The was expressing an opinion. That's
it - opinion. As a result, he got charged by an army of users who not only
disagreed with him, but bashed him until he decided to terminate his social
media account.
This is
not an isolated incident. Whenever someone post opinions out/contrary to the
current trend, they get bashed in by other users trying to prove them wrong.
The tyranny of the masses is gaining momentum by the day.
We are witnessing the
tyranny of the majority on a global scale
Aren't
you outspoken against racism? We - the majority - know you are a racist.
Aren't
you outspoken for a clean environment? We - the majority - know you are a
scumbag who loves pollution.
Aren't
you outspoken against violence? We - the majority - know you deserve to be
punished.
The
louder you scream, the better. Reason is gone, the argumentation is obsolete.
If you
are not with us, you are against us. A new era has begun and we should
adapt quickly. This is the #currentsituation
