I have seen some insane collective actions done that no single person would have tolerated.
This sounds like a collective decision disaster on “the road to Abilene”. It is also known as a “false consensus” or “Abilene Paradox”
It is pushed by the media, which feeds the false consensus.

“Abilene Paradox”
Haven’t seen that one in a while but I used it in a graduate course on consulting techniques and processes over a decade ago. I think the video is hilarious because it makes people see human foibles played out only to realize they may have been part of that very thing at one time.
