crowds

i am scared of crowds. it does not matter if it is a parade, a large party, a concert, or a funeral. it is so much easier to manage and manipulate a crowd than individuals. you can put a political message, a desire of action, or any thought in a crowd’s mind. you can make a crowd to vote, to love, to hate.. and you can make a crowd to go shopping.

So true

This is exactly why I am a strong proponent of any kind of individualist philosophy over any type of collectivist one. When people get together, crazy things happen. Groups become crowds and crowd become mobs and sooner or later people are trampling each other to death so that they could get their 40% discount on the latest Britney Spears CD.
