The definition of hysteria itself explains the first couple of examples in the article. That’s as far as I got.

We see this on the FR quite often. Patriot Act, etc. And now the last two weeks.

The term ‘hysteria’ derives from the Greek word ‘hystera’ meaning ‘uterus,’

We have at least a half-dozen male Russian hysterics who would benefit greatly from a hysterectomy.

Wearing masks that don’t work and shaming those that don’t wear them is an example of mass hysteria. Shunning and shaming those that don’t want and refuse to get the experimental Covid vaccine (actually gene therapy, not a vaccine) is another example of mass hysteria. For the last 2 years we have been living with mass hysteria; too many of our fellow human beings are afflicted with it.

It is interesting to watch. The defense and support over the years of Bush, Lindsey Graham, McCain, WMD in Iraq, Patriot Act, Mitt Romney, Drudge...etc etc and all the freepers who were attacked for daring to have a different opinion.
