A few weeks ago, three friends on Facebook told me that they wished for my death.
One of them I didn’t really know. He freaked out when I calmly suggested there were viable treatment options for those with Covid. He responded: “Stay out of my life!! I hope you get Covid and die!”
The other two friends were people I knew in college 45 years ago, one was my freshman year roommate, and the other guy introduced me to my first wife. He suggested that I prove Darwin’s theory and perish from the virus, the other just basically said I deserved what was coming as a selfish unvaccinated science-denier.
Covid’s willing executioners....
As we all know, Facebook is the place of no inhibition. However, that said, I do believe it is a grave concern that human beings can be manipulated into this dark manner of thinking and feeling.
The operative word here is “manipulate.”
I do have faith, that for the most part, human beings have evolved from a cave mentality when confronting “other” in the culture. In cave days our psychology was programmed for survival, and it didn’t take much coercion to view members from another tribe that wandered into territory that was not their own to be immediately met with suspicion and fear.
Today, many thousands of years later, I think it takes a bit of manipulation to view “other” as fatally dangerous—but not much coercion, so it seems.
In this regard it appears we have lost any scintilla of common sense. How can a government (or more likely an even higher organization of authority) convince the masses so easily that the unvaccinated are the mortal enemy with not a whiff of science in the argument?....

The people you ask about are demonstrating just how much fear they live in due the governmental propaganda campaign, assisted by the press and the medical establishment. They have Stockholm Syndrome.
Toddy Hayden, the author of the article, may not have friends since he can't differentiate between acquaintances and friends.
I doubt this is the first time his acquaintances have shown their Totalitarian desires but Todd previously thought the enemies they referred to were other people, not him.
No, Todd, those people who hate others so much hate you too because the root cause is that they hate themselves. Todd, you're not going to change them. They're only going to change if THEY start growing up.
As for how many can become part of a Mass Psychosis, here's a great video A Killing Of The Mind by Academy of Ideas:

Studies have shown if a group of people is treated as an underclass, the majority of those in the other class begin to hate the underclass. That’s exactly what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany.
In times of catastrophic national strife, there are two types of people. Those who are willing to give their lives to save others, and those who are willing to take innocent lives, to save their own. The latter, permitted, aided, and tolerated Death Camps and Genocide.
A lot of the hostility comes from the realization that they have been led into something that may be harmful to them and they can’t now opt out so they have to force everyone else to get the shots to justify their own foolishness. JUSTIFY ME, Dammit!
I’m glad we’re beginning to look at this question, because I’ve been wondering this for some time. I’ve seen normally sedate, docile people become absolutely rabid “executioners” over COVID. Never seen anything like it.
I agree with that. I add that I don't think it's taking much training. These people are full of hate for everyone that does not parrot the party line.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I saw a very telling meme the other day. It said something like:
"If you ever wondered how you who have acted in 1930s Germany, look at how you have acted the last year and a half. That will tell you the answer"
Mass hysteria is how everyone ran after the polio vaccine, more than likely not needed, other sources of that disease. Read Moth in the Iron Lung. But gov. didn’t care about science back then and also didn’t have all the information before making decisions based upon mass hysteria. No to this vaccine/therapy experiment
Bingo. We have a winner!
