Which makes me think: who are these people with enough time of their hands to be morality warriors on internet? Also who are these _friends_ who jumps on conclusion without allowing for a defense? I shouldn't be difficult, in this digitalized world, to provide solid proof of wrongdoing.
I may not be the most aware of social cues, or maybe it's a cultural thing, but some of these people seems like absolute sociopaths.

I wonder if this person is referring more to their social group. I get the impression that there are groups of "friends" that are really more of a social group and are all walking on eggshells around one another re orthodoxy and and at the same time poised to jump on anyone who is perceived to do something against their group values.
Sort of like the situation in 1984, Winston, Syme, Ampleforth, Parson, are all "friends" in some sense but effectively would denounce each other immediately for anything and feel the need to insert little "there is a war going on of course" type platitudes in conversation.

Maybe young people? I know that when I was younger (around high school) and more active on twitter, I supported everything progressive because I thought it was the right thing to do, without looking too much into the facts. Fortunately I never had a bigger reach than a few dozen of people with the same ideas as me, and never directly attacked people or insulted them or anything, but I wonder if it's because of virtue or just that I'm more shy than most people.
I'm glad I grew up and don't do this kind of thing anymore, but I can't say I don't understand why people would do this. Maybe education about this would help? But on the other hand voices that says "there are two sides to every stories" often get drowned in righteous fury, and I'm not sure I would have listened to them.
