Indeed, therein lies the key to controlling the masses. The mindlessness of the mob is minuscule compared to the perfidy of the powerful.
Behavior is not always a reflection of soulful intent. In its mindless form it exists to be overcome.
Enlightenment presumes and depends for existence upon darkness created to be overcome.
The mob, mindless, permits the powerful's perfidy, which maintains the mob.
Talk about a circle jerk.
And abundant alliteration.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
