Stop Firing the Innocent
The United States (and perhaps other countries?) decent into mob "justice" has been breathtaking. Many people I've known for over half my life and known to be fairly reasonable people now routinely repost "make this person famous" posts pointing out a variety of behaviors deemed unacceptable without any evidence other than what's posted in an image. If you question the evidence or whether shaming someone as punishment is an appropriate response you're instantly vilified.<p>I have little doubt that I could pick a stranger at random, create a social media post with some baseless accusations and fabricated screenshots and get it shared extensively.<p>I really hope our society can find a way out of this, but I honestly don't see it.
