This is a fascinating case study into how paranoid and reactionary the modern left has become as a movement. It's always had a very conspicuous element of accusation and incrimination, but the sense of forward-thinking ascendancy has disappeared and this is all that's left.
Most interesting is that it's the same from top to bottom. Random independent blogs are launching inquisitions against health and wellness photos, and the British government is restricting free access to the internet and spending the most airtime demonising anyone alleged to be "sowing division".
In all cases the target is the same - an ill-defined silent army of ontologically evil societal saboteurs. It all speaks to a system that's becoming increasingly unstable and unsure of itself.
