In their pursuit of rights some individuals forget their responsibilities. Is it group think ?

What drives the extremes on both sides ? You see this idea of "fighting for freedom, fighting for rights" coming up lately in North America.

Trump's right wing fanatics storming the Capitol while radicals on the left are burning private property egged on by the emotion brainwashing machine that is social media. Some Covid-19 protests are also another example.

In my view, if you take even the most radical person in these groups on an individual level, you can somewhat reason with them.

Is it that people, once they get in groups, they lose their rational thinking ? How do you ensure in your struggle for "injustices" in your ideology you don't forget your responsibilities ?

Absolutely. People lose their humanity in mobs. Why we’re wired this way, who knows? But there’s far too many examples at hand to believe it to be a fluke or a problem only on one side.

Yes, any side. It always reminds me of the concept of entropy.

a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.

Each side says the other side started it. The chicken or the egg ?

Rittenhouse wouldn't have been such a tough guy on his own.
 
Um, he was on his own.
In my view still egged on by social media group think, Fox News, etc. On the other side the irrationality was provided by CNN, left wing agitators. Families pay the price so men like Trump and Al Sharpton can make more money over division.
