A dead giveaway of mob-mind is aggressive, hostile interrogation of your statements with an unstated presumption of speaking for legitimate authority. The mob member unconsciously borrows a sense of moral authority from the crowd by virtue of 100% compliance.

Once you believe 70% is less “pure” than 100% you unconsciously assume you have a right to play cop. It’s the confidence of knowing there are more pitchforks on your side. How to respond.

a) My usual response: ignore. Block/mute if aggressive b) Directly push back: For example “Who died and made you mayor of woke town?” (generally not worth it) c) Go on offensive. Challenge them to explain why they’re NOT zombies (really not worth it 99% of the time, walk away)
