#24 | What Happened to Having Your Own Bloody Opinion? The Digital Opinion Police Exposed

Right, I'm getting properly mental about something that's been driving me absolutely mental - digital mob justice destroying people for the heinous crime of thinking independently!

Karen from Twitter decides someone's opinion doesn't ALIGN with hers, and suddenly it's digital execution time. We teach kids T.H.I.N.K. (True, Helpful, Inspiring, Necessary, Kind) then throw it all out the window the moment someone thinks differently!

Here's what's driving me mental - an OPINION can never be wrong because it's a bloody opinion! From Latin "opinari" meaning "to choose to think" - it's literally about personal choice in thinking!

When did having personal thoughts become punishable by digital destruction? When did "I think differently" become grounds for career annihilation by keyboard warriors who've never met you?

These social media mobs are just medieval peasants with WiFi - storming Twitter mentions instead of castles, destroying people for the crime of independent thought while preaching tolerance and kindness. The hypocrisy is mental!

It's not about right or wrong anymore - it's about perfect ideological ALIGNMENT with whatever the mob decided is acceptable this week. Step outside the approved opinion box? Digital gallows time!

Challenge: Next time someone expresses a different opinion, try something revolutionary - disagree RESPECTFULLY. Practice human conversation instead of mob warfare.

Scottish wisdom from someone who believes independent thinking is a right, not a crime. Three minutes of common sense about basic human decency in the digital age.
