‘This is really irresponsible’
The hashtag is now trending in the Netherlands, but also arouses a lot of indignation. “Asking critical questions is fine, but #Idoenietmeermee is going too far”, says a twitterer. Artists with a large following among young people claim ‘they no longer adhere to the rules when infections in that group increase enormously. This is really irresponsible handling of your stage ‘.

Confusing time
According to Rick van Baaren, professor of Behavioral Change & Society at Radboud University, it is not surprising that people revolt and come up with an action like #Idoenietmeer. “It’s a confusing time. You see the corona numbers rising, but they are not terrified yet. That creates doubt. I understand psychologically that people are revolting, but that does not mean that it is wise.”

The timing in particular is not convenient, he says. “For the government’s feeling we are in a critical phase, in which all sails have to be made. But these celebrities are now sowing doubt among their followers, as a result of which the measures may be less well complied with.”
Skeptical or rebellious?
According to Van Baaren, the initiators of this hashtag have two possible motives for sharing their videos. “The first reason is skepticism. It stems from uncertainty. These people honestly have doubts whether the current measures are the right ones. They ask themselves: if we go along with this, are we doing the right thing? And is this the best we can do. , or could it be better? “, he says.
“And then you have people who act out of ‘reactance’. Those people are done with it. They don’t want someone else to decide what they can or cannot do, they become rebellious. You can recognize that kind of rebellion by anger.”
Better communication
What is the effect of the hashtag #ikdoenietmeermee? “That is still difficult to say at the moment. The aim of the action is to disrupt the rules. It depends on whether this hashtag is taken up in a big way, then you could get a source of resistance.”

But it can also turn out differently, says Van Baaren. “It may also be that they are corrected by society itself. That others say: this is impossible, stop it.”
Uncertainty about rules
Should the government do something with this action? “You could say that this call shows that there is too much uncertainty about the measures. The communication of the cabinet is very much aimed at explaining the rules properly, but perhaps they should also make society more involved. their strategy, explaining even better why we follow certain guidelines and not others. That could help. “
