Absolutely fucking disgusting how these supposed journalists, experts, and public figures are acting. It's just insane to see how they're all 100% in lockstep. This whole movement is totally mind blowing, every single day I can't understand how it's transformed so many people into this.

Or maybe this is just how people have always been?

A lot of it is fear. Beyond Twitter and signaling, there isn't any kind of central committee or anything. The lockstep-ness is social contagion, and a very real fear that they, themselves, will be in Jesse's position tomorrow (or worse!) if they don't toe the line. Some people are more cognizant of it than others, but if you corner half of these people in a small room, they'd voice at least a little dissent.

Tbh I think they've always been like this; social media just baits them into doing it in public.

When people get up on the ledge, there are (and always have been) ghouls who shout "Jump." (However, the people who start these suicide memes are even more despicable.)

I am always asking myself if IтАЩm the crazy one. Am I the one who doesnтАЩt get it?

What brings me back to believing in my own sanity is the pictures of what greedy plastic surgeons do to sad kids.
