Like if you take rabid pro-vax advocates (those who pressure others to take vaccines with a kind of seething hatred), are they motivated by a genuine belief that the vaccine is going to strengthen the population, or do they secretly just want to poz as many people as possible because they quietly romanticise the idea of a society full of weak and wretched people like *Les Miserables*? *"A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the real reason."* Their actions seem to suggest that they don't actually care if their agendas are beneficial to people or not. They don't care about reasoned arguments and don't want them spoken or heard, because they don't want a better approach to be identified, they just want *their* approach with their outcome. It would appear that they really just want to see the people around them reduced to a weakened state so they can find meaning in being all touchy feely and "helpful" to those around them in a new social structure. --- Edit: perhaps NPC was the wrong term here. I wasn't thinking of the type of ordinary person who has an honest job, goes to work each day and does what they're told without thinking, but more the kind of person who holds up a banner and screams at people, but malfunctions if you express a different view to theirs.
