An abbreviation of either schizoid, schizotypal or schizophrenic. Or more likely, a general insult used to imply someone is 'crazy'.
There's a set of diagnostic criteria for these disorders (readily available on Wikipedia). Schizophrenia is the most severe (actually a psychosis) and can be either 'positive'(characterised by mainly auditory hallucinations) or 'negative' (social withdrawal etc..). Schizoid personalities do not experience psychotic periods and are just people that are happy to live in their own world and for the most part, shun social contact. Schizotypals fall somewhere in between: they are withdrawn and don't have the hallucinations of the schizophrenics but they can be prone to odd paranoias and beliefs (for example, the belief that people can read minds).
Schizophrenic: "That guy over there hears aliens talking to him- total schizo!"
Schizotypal: "That guy over there thinks that people can read minds- total schizo!"
Schizoid: "That guy over there never says a word- total schizo!"

Acting against someone by demanding from them (and/or suppressing them and/or pressuring them into something and/or hurting them), while ignoring reason, logic and their individual rights, freedoms.. They place their own ego, wants and feelings first and justify it with own fantasies fueled by fallacies and often having group pressure on their side (which does nothing to prove it just makes it more disruptive and threatening to disprove or stop it and less likely that people will believe the alternative - nazi propaganda style). (Some people in the group want the unfairness enforced, because they want to support it as a social norm or hide this case by normalizing it with numbers of people involved, so that they could later use it against someone too.)
Normies are more susceptible to this as it takes stupidity or ignorance, lack of awareness and self-awareness, lack of individual moral development (or some sort of mental limitation preventing it like sadism or psychopathy), then it's authority fallacy (arrogance) + bandwagon + groupthink and many others.
So I've been watching The Dead Zone - in S01E10 fear-driven shizo sheeple had tried to burn the new weird guy in town at the stake by slapping together made up evidence, fallacies and having a kangaroo court for the sake of stalling; and in S02E07 he's been kidnapped by schizos who'd convinced themselves with their fantasy reasons, that they will be rich from using this guy and making it into a movie, and that they won't get punished for it.
