I'm beginning to understand you now. You don't understand what a mob is.
Another dichotomy trap. Watch it... I may fall for this one. :/
Damn! Not this time. I keep trying to be mindless and to fall for your spiel, but I just can't get there.
A little over 100 years ago, this country decided to do away with mobs, gangs, groups, cliques, posses, tribes, etc. Some keep slipping through, but in general we're doing pretty good.
We have socially acceptable mobs, with strict rules. Like sporting events and political rallies. In them you're allowed and expected to yell and scream and get each other all fired up. But it's supposed to end there.
When you exit the event you're supposed to return to sanity.
Other mobs like BLM, KKK, neo-nazis, religions, etc., ... don't have the strict rules. And even when folks leave those events, they can't let go of the anger, hatred, fanaticism, etc. People should think for themselves. They shouldn't be swayed by what the guy next to them is screaming about. Only 3rd world countries haven't learned this yet, and you can see where it gets them.
We're witnessing live, exactly why mobs are bad. Day three and we've already started killing indiscriminately. And that's just the deaths we know about.
/e I wish I had some cold pudding in the fridge. I'm jonesing for some cold pudding.
