Congratulations. You've revealed your bigoted viewpoint, again.

You have created a thing that does not exist--'The Mob.' There is no mob, except as a label pointing to a number of people. But 'The Mob' is not a person, it's an abstract label. Abstract labels do not think, and do not have feelings. So they are not "Entitled. Expectant. Demanding. Vengeful," and they cannot want control, or anything else.

The individuals in the vicinity of where you point may be some of those things in some cases, but you don't know. You haven't talked to them, you haven't gathered evidence. You're just assigning stuff to them based on pre-existing beliefs in your head. That's called prejudice.

It's really harmful, it's dehumanizing, it deprives the subjects of their rights, and justifies any sort of action against them. I can see why TJ is pissed-off.
