Are mobs as stupid today as they were a 1000 years ago?

“A mob is only as smart as the dumbest person in it.”

I was talking to a guy on another platform who literally said, “What kind of law do we have that doesn’t immediately execute killers? No trial, no jury just get on with it.”

And I said “If you’re joking, it’s funny…if not it’s scary as fck.” But this is why the law exists because mob rule doesn’t work.

And ironically his comment got all the likes.

Yes a mob is crowd drawn by attention not by interaction. They get together because as an emotional reaction to something they have something in common they all react to in certain way. Either they are angry or frustrated...
It's not that they tried to figure out something and that's what they come with after having thought about their options,.

Yeah, you're both stupid.

Him for not understanding the difference between a legal system and capital punishment. But you just climbed down into the pit with the idiot, unprompted!

Reminds me of the violent mob that went after hero Kyle rittenhouse. They were pretty dumb.

This is why people need to be much more active in political life and properly educated by people who are hyper vigilant to corruption.

Yeah, there's some people that just have difficulty appreciating or even comprehending nuance. The idea of instantly executing anyone is appalling.

Its important to note we are no different from those 1000 years ago on any level
