      I believe the point is that you can’t trust mobs to police justice in society as the meme suggests.

        “Mobs” is a loaded word. This isn’t vigilante justice. This is how social systems work.

        Sorry, I thought this was “lefty memes,” not “bootlicker memes.” My mistake.

          This is how social systems work.

          Forcing minorities off transportation/out of businesses/etc. was also how racist social systems work. Sure, society has improved enough that it is currently more likely to have bad actors be the ones being excluded now, but history shows that socially enforced norms can be used for good and evil.
