A large part of the problems with bandwagon behaviour is the growth of inflated language and most terms of vocal abuse. It spreads like wildfire when the culprits lack any personal ideas and rely on the impetus from social media sources for their education. Words that once were factual definitions of particular movements, worthy and less so, that degenerated into disrepute become devalued and adopted by petty revolutionaries.

Take the word that gobby woman in the news seems so fond of, the 'F' word, Fascist. She uses it as a foul swearword designed to enrage and to provoke a violent reaction.

The word means the crushing of opposition by secret police through civil militia. She apparently fails to recognise her freedom to demonstrate her views in violent manner by using the term in the attempted crushing of dissent in the presence of substantial numbers of Police! The very thing to which she ignorantly and violently objects!

Some of these ignoramuses actually seek public office. Heaven help us. I sometimes wish they would remember you don't quench a fire with more heat. You need calm water.
