Problem with that is that one mob is given unhindered support for venting their spleen, whereas whereas the opposing mob is deplatformed, doxxed, etc. etc.
I don't even need to say which side is which, do I? We all know.
- helen___keller 6y agoSure, I mean it's basically tautological, but the populist mob enforces the popular opinion. I'm sure someone's gonna chew me out for this opinion, but even though i disagree with "mob justice" on principle at the same time i DO feel good when I see mob justice taken on someone who, in my gut, I feel really deserves it. I acknowledge that feeling is the problem. I'm aware of that. For a probably not-too-controversial example, I hate Scientology. And way back when, Anonymous/4chan took on Scientology, and maybe didn't completely take it down but certainly made a good effort. And I cheered the whole way, because I hate Scientology. But I don't agree with mob justice. I don't know, it's a contradiction logically but that's definitely a thing.
