• Spreading fake news on social media: They like to stand on road with a signboard destined to misguide you. Either found fabricating lies, or forwarding them without verifying it. The common intent is just to be tagged as ‘Odd’.
• Gossiping in a group on the street: They come in large numbers, assemble in midst of the moving crowd, and remove their mask to gossip. Without any regards towards the sacrifices made by our front-line warriors.
• Levy stress on you: We all know this one person, who will come up with new conspiracy theories that often has a problematic base. Blaming a community, party, or a nation, are few of their tactics. In actuality, they are developing points for further stress and deterioration of mental well – being. When the need is to unite, they march to divide.
