I been looking for historical psychological parallels for the cultish behaviour by Antifa/BLM and their fellow travellers and I think I have found it in the Salem witch trials. As in Salem there is ideological in-group/out-group social bifurcation reaching hysterical levels, stoked by sociopathic in-group influencers. Also, as in Salem, the ‘cult’ is overwhelmingly driven by emotionally unrestrained women and effete males. Personally, I think using the ‘Salem Syndrome’ moniker will trigger and at times red pill those it is applied to.

What about the Spanish Inquisition?
And you may be right -- there are even witch hunts.
Thing is, some of these people are actual witches. Yes, at the highest levels, we have coven-going, satan-worshiping, child-sacrificing witches.
I kid you not.
Microsoft did that commercial with the spirit-cooking witch -- people complained so loudly they took it down. That was a couple of months ago.
That's just one example.
There are many more if you care to dig.
The Inquisiiiition, here we go!
The Inquisition, what a show!
We bet you’re wiiiiiiishing that we’d go away!
There are many examples however most have a slither of ideological justification. What is happening in the US is psychotic. It is what happens when the anima/animus archetypes switch places and are unrestrained. The further this dislocation the greater the reaction when the natural order restores itself. They won’t win this argument. They are literally digging their own graves.
Toss the witch in the water!
If she sinks and drowns she’s not a witch!
If she’s floats she’s a witch, burn her at the stake!
Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?
GEOTUS used term “witch hunt” a lot, just not about antifags
