I think the Holocaust was a good example where there was a great number of
people possessing bad memes which generally made them passive and refuse to
join together to fight their enemy. The Jewish people were running the
whole system which made the Germans even angrier because they were doing
such an efficient job. Bad memes meant demise of a great number of people
who didn't need to die but chose to.

The Jimson weed was growing in San Bernodino in California. Teenagers were
using the hallucinogenic drug so they decided that instead of educating and
allowing them to make their own choice (not condemn the drug) they decided
to go around the area in an attempt to chop up every living plant when it's
indigenous to the area. (An impossible feat). I think they'res something
wrong with this situation.
