An extinction burst is defined by psychologists as a sudden and dramatic increase in irrational behaviour, when previous rewards are withdrawn or cease to be effective and go rewarded.
Car won’t start, in Fawlty Towers, John Cleese style, beat the car to death with a tree branch. Laptop won’t boot, smash the laptop.
The two year old having hysterics and rolling on the floor in aisle five or the usual, throwing their food from the high chair or toys out of the cot.
All of these are extinction bursts and those images and that behaviour neatly encapsulates what’s going with the unhinged hysteria and inside the hive mind of the collective left when their golden goose, USAID which they’ve been rorting for decades for their favourite causes has been shutdown down or removed.
