There are certain people that enjoy the feeling of righteous indignation at finding "offenses" and "calling out" other people on them. This allows them to feel morally superior and as if they contribute something to the society. So instead of writing code or positively contribute in some other ways, they play the Red Guard and police other's speech. I've read several articles of people coming off this dangerous drug and realizing, post-factum, that this was exactly what and exactly why they were doing it, but too many people are still doing it anyway.

It never did. The Red Guards don't care.
