And if we were just talking about the general population at large, I would 100% agree, but I think the "bona fide diagnosable sociopathies and psychopathologies" are significantly overrepresented in people who obtain positions of power - especially the ones that end up in the news for stuff like this.
I think there's a good mix of both sides of that coin - plenty that a genuinely crazy and believe as you've stated, but another plenty that are just amoral and/or evil who just used the "mission from God" bullshit as a cover.
To be fair, this is not actually a graph of outages - it's a graph of the number of users reporting outages. What's more likely happening is that the service itself is working fine, but there is an outsized number of people having problems reaching the service, due to any number of unrelated factors (network congestion, individual device issues, temporary ISP outages or other internet hiccups)
This could happen to any service if the number of people trying to access it multiplies. If 1% of the time someone tries to access a service, there is an issue (even temporary), and the number of people trying to access that service goes from 1000 people (10 issues) to 10,000 people (100 issues) then it looks like there is a huge jump in problems accessing a service, when really the service is working just as well as it was before.
It's not even that specifically, at least in my family they latched onto the "resveratrol has health benefits" study, and expanded that to "red wine is healthy"
Like oh yeah cookies are healthy now because eggs have choline. So dumb.
They chose die. As in, "our constituents will just have to die"
