@HebrideanHecate People in this country have advocated for mob rule every time they have played the game that says it's ok when my team does it.

Every person who has laughed when people they don't like are attacked.
Every person who has called for people to be cancelled if they disagree with their views.
Every person who has agreed with and used hate speech laws.
Every person who has played the *no smoke without fire* game of using the court of public opinion.
Every person who has been quick to deploy the -ist and -phobe bombs to silence or discredit others.
Every person who has played the *guilt by association* card.
Every person who has used a thought-terminating cliche, slogan or mantra to be above the law.
Every person who has cheered for the capture of institutions by dangerous ideologies in the name of #progress with a side order of money and power.
Every person who has decided that people who don't go along with them deserve what they get.

These are very human traits. They are also very dangerous ones. Once we judge purity, nobody will ever be pure enough.
Beria was shot.
Robespierre was guillotined
Are these people really sure that they would be in favour of this if theirs was not the prevailing view?
