I hate group mentality sometimes

Yep, let's collectively weaken one person in in the hope that we each further cement our place in the group. If we make them the victim then it won't be us. That's how lacking in courage we are.

You’re not an idiot

And nowhere is it more evident than on social media, where anonymity make people feel safe to be mob bullies.

I hate it too.
Even when the person they are bashing is at fault.
One barbaric act does not justify group barbarism.

I understand when someone had a bad experience and got a chance to come forward with it but what I find stupid is when people "there there" the one who cries and want to fight someone without even learning what exactly happened first.

It seems to me that often certain similar personality types have clashes between each other and it's for the best to leave them tear each other's hair and stay away at safe distance.

Cliques rule this (and...most?) place(s), unfortunately.

When there's nobody in your corner.

You’re not the idiot by any means!! I totally agree with everything you say. “Let’s follow the herd.” That’s the mentality I get.

Run them over with your broom!

Very dumb. I think i missed something I am grateful for that.

So do I. Even when that one person has frequently been quite insulting and downright hateful to others, including me, the ganging up and bashing them bothers me sometimes. It especially does, when I'm even tempted to join in.

I hear ya

Like a church congregation?

Same ...not a fan of mob mentality either

I seem to have missed something, but yeah, it sucks

Did this just happen to you?

I feel that same way with politics. People nowdays can't think for themselves. I only do this hippiejoe because he's always "right"
