Mass movements are not all bad
Mass movements are not as “irrational”
and “subhuman” as they have been depicted by therapeutic
psychologists and relativistic philosophers. Human nature developed
ethics largely out of the necessities of group selection, so the
group or the mass is a vital part of human nature.
I am individualistic, I know that individual freedom is important, but individual
traits do not last long if they don't ultimately benefit the group.
It should be said that some of the
disparaging of mass movements and the promoting of individualism was
the effort of one group seeking an advantage over another group.
Individual control is somewhat lost in
mass movements but that is not all bad since human nature is group-oriented.
