I think that's a good distinction. And it begins to expose the core of what I find alarming, namely, the hypocrisy of mistreating people while expecting them to do good. Once people categorize you as a bad person, they find it justified to do bad things to you. The internet is full of videos of people verbally (and sometimes physically) abusing others for not wearing a mask. There's an irony in that which I'm trying to decipher.
One person is doing wrong to someone, because that person is failing to do good for others. Which is worse? (Another example: Celebrities often get donation-shamed.)
There are also vids with people being shamed for wearing a mask. People are going to pass judgement based on their personal/groups position.
To put it simply, two wrongs don't make a right.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
