Here is a thread containing 10 Clues the Eliminative Lust of Mobbing is Present.

I invite you to comment with evidence from the past 4 years you feel applies.

(Report any abuse).

(Administrative Mobbing at the University of Toronto, Westhues, 2004)
1. The target is a popular

A high-achieving person and solid performer. Popularity of the television show Survivor illustrates this – when a possible winner would be voted off the island because their skills and prowess made them ‘a threat’. Image
2. Lack of due process

Sophisticated eliminators make a show of appearing scrupulously fair, but vigilant outsiders can usually see through it. Image
3. Odd timing

Taking someone by surprise is a tactic of war, not respectful coexistence. Things unexpected, unannounced reduce the odds of the target mounting a successful defense. Image
4. Resistance to external review

Impassioned excluders want nothing more than that the higher authority and outside agencies stay out of the matter. “We can handle this ourselves.” Image
5. Secrecy

Eliminators prefer to keep their proceedings confidential, cloaked. Against this, Justice Louis Brandeis offered the sage advice that sunlight is the best disinfectant. Image
6. Unanimity

The loss of diverse opinion is a compelling indication the eliminative fury has been unleashed. When all agree on the need to put someone down, when they all demand it. Image
7. Fuzzy charges

Real or imagined sins are added up to necessitate the target’s ouster. Image
8. Prior marginalization

Evidence of the target being marginalized, ostracized, and treated with contempt before the offenses cited as grounds for formal expulsion and humiliation. Image
9. Impassioned rhetoric

The more fervent and overwrought the language used against the target, the less likely is the basis for exclusion anything but a collective will to destroy. Preposterous, paranoid, crazy, or even a ‘difficult person’ are all used to great effect. Image
10. Back-biting

Malicious gossip and whispering campaigns behind a person’s back are common attributes of elimination processes. The usual foundation of formal sanctions is the circulation of rumors and stories to discredit the target. “Did you hear what she did last week?” Image

We all agree that Trump’s GOP and MAGA faithful are swooning in some ‘mass hysteria’.
It is growing in velocity, to our collective peril. We’ve seen it before: Germany, Cambodia, Rwanda. We know it travels quickly. We know it feeds on lies and laughs at suffering.
We know it leads to genocide, if unchecked. I know it intimately, but I know it as Mobbing Syndrome.
I was a Bystander and Target in a Workplace Mobbing. I was rapidly injured by it, just by being near it; by being unable to stop it.

In only 8 weeks, I had hypertensive crises and rollicking PTSD. It nearly killed me. Mobbing Syndrome is an incubator for suicide. Worse.

Whence this Evil Glee?

A weaponized Industrial Disease made a Murderous Juggernaut
(And why the MAGA don’t see it)

A contagious disease has knowingly been unleashed upon America.
It is thinly disguised but the evidence is there, and there is more coming. It’s called Mobbing Syndrome.

Now, I’m not saying the last 4 years of near-daily assaults on decency, truth, reason, and precedent resembles Mobbing Syndrome.

I’m saying it is EXACTLY that.
I first saw Mobbing Syndrome 3 years ago at my work.

I’d never heard of it.

Mobbing is found in animal behaviour; crows often do it.  When a crow detects a threat to their nest, be it a snake or owl, they rally other crows for help.

I just had an epiphany.

@icewolf610 Remember this?

I’ve seen this, and had it happen to me. This sudden narcolepsy will be indicative of the change in those brain centers.

This is the physical manifestation of the underutilization of glucose in those lobes. That’s not all.
This has implications relating to problems with vision. They don’t believe what they see. You can show them stark, irrefutable evidence but they cannot process it at all.

Blindly following is right.

Let me tell you a story..

I worked with a MAGA.
If he hadn’t been..
we would’ve been good friends. In his clear moments he was a good guy.

When Trump betrayed the Kurds to Erdogan and his murderous ISIS-like proxies, I showed him a video of those brave allies being beheaded by these savages.

His response? Some parroted bullshit about China..

A contagious disease has knowingly been unleashed upon America. Indeed, it was loosed upon the world.
It is thinly disguised but the evidence is there, and there is more coming. It’s called Mobbing Syndrome.

@Jcadvamlier @MaryLTrump This is a teachable moment.

Neither Baldwin nor I believe nor say, that genocides are a Whites Only condition; however, like water fountains in Selma, Whites have taken a long cool drink from these waters, historically.

Aztecs wanted Empire, and built schools to spread their..
@Jcadvamlier @MaryLTrump culture as they dominated others in their path.

Europeans considered Indigenous Americans to be primitives; they didn’t recognize that they had a thriving culture because they did not value it. They thought they’d found these peoples in a state that resembled the biblical Eden.
@Jcadvamlier @MaryLTrump (ab origine, Latin: from the original) They wouldn’t know that the Mohawk had once conquered more territory than the Romans.

History wasn’t studied then; only gold and arable land had value. Plunder.

Smallpox and other disease would decimate the populations of both Americas.
