The Daily Mail's 'Mind Doctor', the psychiatrist Dr. Max, has come up with a fancy term for the lefties who post hatred on anti-social meeja sites: Festinger's deindividualization theory in operation. Put directly, that's plain, old-fashioned mob rule. People who know better feel free to behave vilely and release their inner nutter as part of a mob.
Also in the Mail was a 2-page article about Labour's campaign of fake news, hate postings on anti-social meeja and downright fabrications during the election. But naturally, all right-thinking people know the Mail made it up, right?
Help! I've been Festingerized!
