They are motivated actors, certainly
I have no clue what I'm looking at? Is this some form of execution or lynching?
Had you heard of Maoist Struggle Sessions? Those are scary shit.
My former company hosted struggle sessions during the summer of floyd. It was over zoom, so no physical beatings. Just emotional and mental.
I guess not. Got a good on-ramp other than the 'pedia?

That's not what's happening in the picture.
For information on struggle sessions see Robert Liftons "thought reform and the psychology of totalism"
How do you figure? The picture has all the hallmarks of a Maoist struggle session: the angry mob, the dunce cap with thoughtcrimes the victim was accused of, making the victim stand on a chair with his hands bound, etc.
How do YOU figure? I cited the seminal documentation on the subject.
Whatever humiliation ritual is in the op may be tangential, but it certainly is not the same as maoist thought reform prisons.
If we're trying reconcile the facts instead of having a pissing match this would be what happens AFTER a struggle session. The victim would have been put in prison and hit with all manner of accusations and kafka traps to "confirm" the accusations then paraded around to pretend how just and necessary it is for the ccp to root out ideological dissent.
You can make a direct comparison from this to twitter and facebook posts about black boxes and virtue signalling because it is essentially the same. The guy was already banned and not allowed to speak. This display is what happens after the thought reform.
