- umvi 6y ago> Mob justice only exists because regular justice is not effective against sexual harassment. I challenge this assertion. I think mob justice would still exist even if we had omniscient judges who could administer perfect justice in every scenario. Mob justice is intoxicating. Mob justice is exhilarating. Mob justice can make you feel "a part of something" or "making history". Cancel culture extends far beyond sexual harassment. Mob justice is not about justice for most of the people in the mob. It's about wielding power over your peers. It's about squashing your ideological opponents from a position of faux righteousness.
