[zkmipxcz] Celebrating democracy as mob rule

Mob rule is usually regarded as the "bad" form of democracy.  But consider the opposite perspective:

The idea is, any mechanism that prevents the mob from doing bad things will get abused by those with power to suppress the mob and unjustly maintain their power, so ultimately any such mechanism will cause more harm than good.

Let there be as much mob rule as possible!  It shows that democracy is not being perverted. The seeming power of demagogues and charlatans is at worst only temporary until the fickle mob finds another to adore, and at best not power at all, just a manifestation of the mob's desires.
