I propose this hashtag every time somebody shares a video of some apparently outrageous action by an otherwise obscure person, posted simply to gain righteous applause by others.

But isn’t the sometimes toxic “cancelling” on social media (which is what I think you’re trying to lead into) a fundamentally different phenomenon than what Orwell describes in his novel? Orwell warned against the authoritative uses of inciting hate, done in a centralized controlled medium (television). What you’re trying to criticize is instead a more decentralized phenomenon, where an individual can instead use hate-inciting video to create an authority around it.

You can criticize both kinds of hate-spreading, but you have to acknowledge that the two are very different as a phenomenon, with widely different mediums and different motives for the person using it.

It would require people to have actually read the novel. By the way, if someone hasn't read it yet, do so.
