Burning, killing, robbing, plundering, venting one’s anger to smash the property of innocent passers-by... it’s not impossible for unimaginable violence and force to happen. “If it really comes to that point, there’s no turning back...”
Gu Qiqi’s worries were not without reason.
It was easy for people to be rational when they were alone.
If they were in a crowd and were led astray by someone with ulterior motives, it was especially easy for them to lose their minds and act impulsively against their original intentions.
This was called herd mentality, and it was also called collective unconscious violence and power. It was not rare in history.
And the consequences were immeasurable.
