Those that have gravitated to the communist positions of power in China and those working the local police are loving this authority. It gives them a sense of purpose that they are providing benefit to society and there oversight is needed for the greater good, individuals cant be trusted to do what's in there best interest or the collectives best interest.

Same thing happening here, Many Governors and other politicians feeling important with there various orders while the Facebook foot soldiers ensure compliance, who cares if it makes sense, they feel important. Then people/politicians that disagree get in line regardless of facts, they dont want the shaming, the purpose gets lost and the bureaucracy becomes the only important thing.

We are literally letting criminals out of jail but putting these guys in jail.
