It isn't behavior anymore. It's political opinions. Usually mainstream ones. Often witch-hunt style - i.e. the victim didn't even hold the opinion attributed to them by the mob.

This isn't a good norm.

Empowering groups with money is a behavior.

What opinion was attributed to Luckey that he didn't seem to hold or support?

I don't think he was talking about Luckey for the attributed opinion bit.

I've seen a lot of social media that's based on a misinterpretation of a Twitter comment, and people screaming for them to be fired for some kind of prejudice that never actually existed. It quickly got to the point that I no longer trust the general public to be right about anything that involves social media. Even cursory sanity checks fail.
