It occurred to me recently how regularly "witch-hunts" occur in history. I used to think of them as anomalies, but given their almost clockwork nature (Catholics vs heretics, Soviets vs kulaks, Nazis vs jews, Hutus vs tutsis, now Corporate Globalists vs unvaxxed), there appears to be an element deeply embedded in human nature which expresses on a periodic basis. I'm not talking about the people pulling the strings, either, although they clearly start and stoke these events. More important than them is the readiness of populations periodically to label some group "the out" and attack them with incredible cruelty. The current insanity is the latest iteration, but this form of insanity is perhaps among the most "predictable" manifestations of human society ever to exist. It's beyond obvious that we are firmly into our 21st century version of this cycle now.
