You hit the nail on the head here. Of course you're right, but what's scaring me is that people no longer seem to care about the difference. It took about 2 seconds between one neighbour saying 'Look at them, no respect' about a household which failed to clap the NHS, to another saying 'I bet they're hoarders'. There is absolutely no connection between the two things, but we seem to be turning into a dystopian society where merely to be 'different' is to be the enemy. It's a kind of 'you're either with us or against us' writ large.

I think what they're really bothered by is the existence of independent thought - and that is really frightening.
