(Civilian) Social Commandeering (AKA Social Hijacking)
A phenomenon where individuals, under the guise of social righteousness, attempt to seize control of someone's work, career, or reputation. These groups believe their moral or social agendas should take precedence and use social pressure to enforce this belief. On the internet, they often target artists, podcasters, or other creators, demanding that they endorse specific agendas or censor certain content. This practice forces creators to speak with a voice other than their own, undermining their original goals and leading to severe repercussions, such as public shaming or career damage, if resisted. This can be seen as a form of reverse 'Virtue Signaling,' where the pressure to conform is imposed externally rather than expressed personally.

"After releasing a new virtual art exhibition, the host faced Social Commandeering when a vocal group demanded the removal of an artist they found controversial." "Wow, even here people are so risk averse!"

Tammy logged onto her Facebook to read the social news coverage on a concert that she was unable to attend. She read comments, saw pictures, and watched some of the concert on video which was recorded on a smartphone. She felt happy because she finished her term paper and still felt as if she was actually at the concert.

Play on the word 'social media', with the term referring to the onslaught of psychological illnesses exacerbated by the era of smart technology and social media, including but not limited to: narcissim, anxiety, ADHD, entitlement, cyber bullying and malicious trolling, confirmation bias, toxic positivity, dopamine disorders, FOMO, communal stupidity (wanna eat a tide pod?), as well as faking disorders for views/likes.
Some people may find themselves actively avoiding the use of social media because they feel vulnerable to social mania.

A generation of children being raised on ipads and youtube has taught us that social mania is real, and that the negative effects of smart technology and social media are increasingly apparent.

A ideology that is Post Marxist, Anti Marxist and race socialist. This ideology was propped up intellectually by Drexler, Hitler, Darre, Backe and Feder. It is a bigoted race socialism that seeks a Germanic superstate that throws down the "Jewish Cartel of International Capitalists" and its guardian angels, the Marxists, to create a half agraian, half industrial utopia where socialism exists for the racially pure Aryans and no one else. It despises communism because it still is a form of capitalism for the Nazis. It was a grassroots and popular party among the German working class and worked with the political enviroment of Germany at the time. Its views on Veganism, Enviromentalism, solidarity, welfare and the supreme control of the means of production through central planning are rarely talked about seriously.
Normal Person:"Hey, I have been reading theory of National Socialism, and I see it as a form of consequentialist ideology like Marxism."
Illiterate Person:"Yeah, and the Democratic Republic of Korea is a democracy. Shut up Fash."

Many experienced social uneasing at the increased death toll that would surely result, as restrictions were lifted and people packed the parks and beaches.
