This article is tremendously prejudicial. It marks communism, fascism, and basically every other mass movement in the twentieth century as a mental illness. I think it needs to be totally rewritten or else it should face deletion. It is incredibly elitist and NPOV.189.180.106.97 (talk) 07:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article lacks organization. It needs to be put in encyclopedia article form and content should be enriched.--Calm 00:14, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC) Bias. Major bias - also, use of "us" is not reccomended. While knowing nothing about the subject, the page didn't seem to have much valuable information. It paraphrased down to saying that sometimes lots of people get excited about stuff - not really encyclopedic. Is there more to say? Inebriatedonkey 19:50, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Is this related to Moral panic? --SpencerTC 03:34, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily, but they're similar enough that I've added mutual see-alsos. --BDD (talk) 21:24, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could not find any sources for the information given. Therefore consideration should be given to remove the article or other more information on this topic should be added. Nikki0626 (talk) 06:08, 13 October 2021 (UTC)Nikki0620[reply]

I also looked for more information, it doesn't seem that this term is currently being used in mainstream literature or in any psychology-related topics that I have read regarding the concepts spoken about in this article. Seems to be more like a combination of mass movements and moral panic. LemonLawrence (talk) 16:26, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Modern Examples.

Perhaps a mention of the huge demonstrations and mass marches that took place in Europe denouncing Paedophilia, and 'National Debt' marches in the U.S. etc. Paedophilia was no more prevalent at the time of the demonstrations than at any other time. But rumours and myths of 'Satanic Cults' involving prominent members of Society inspired huge demonstrations in Belgium, with mobs trying to storm Police Stations. In England, illiterate ignorant demonstrators smashed every window in a Pediatrician's Office believing the word somehow meant 'paedophile'. In the United States, huge demonstrations took place denouncing The National Debt. At the time, in real terms, U.S. National Debt, was the lowest in the Industrial World.Johnwrd (talk) 23:41, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
