Mob mentality — sometimes also called herd or hive mentality — is the inclination that humans have to be part of a large group, neglecting their individual feelings in the process, and adopting the behaviors and actions of the collective.

Interested in how this concept manifests in everyday life, Reddit user AdmirableFlow made a post on the platform, asking everyone: "What's the most severe case of mass stupidity you've ever witnessed?"

As of now, the question has received over 4.1K comments, so compiled those that stood out and invite you to learn more about the challenges of maintaining critical thinking.

“We Can Use Fewer Idiots In The World”: 40 Cases Of Mass Stupidity That Prove People Are Dumb The January 6th Assault on the Capitol was probably the most severe case of mass stupidity I've seen in my lifetime.

Not even talking politically.

There were idiots climbing walls when there were accessible stairs nearby. Most of these idiots thought they wouldn't meet any police resistance.

They acted as if their attempted coup would be met with smiling cops and clapping congresspeople, thanking them for their service or something.

If a church takes its parishioners money and spends it on fancy buildings and fountains and the preacher is wearing fancy suits instead of putting those donations back into the community I like to imagine sky daddy's thumb coming out the clouds and smooshing that building. In America some of the churches that televise their worship pay professional singers to sing in their choirs. My cousin is an opera singer in LA, that was a good regular income for him. Meanwhile preachers in Africa sell their own holy 'elixirs' they promise cure all ailments out of their churches after their service...

Politicians just need to be likeable. Elections are literally popularity contest, and that's only on the surface. In the US, it's established that winning the popular vote doesn't determine the presidency. Still go out and vote, but know one of the things you need to vote towards is de-corrupting the US government.

I find it rather ironic that people can discount things like vaccines because vaccines have created a world where kids aren't dying left and right from childhood illnesses. I am not aware of any antivaxxers existing when the Polio vaccine came out because Polio was a horror show.

Maybe some were smart enough to know that detergent could hurt or kill you, but not smart enough to understand that cinnamon, despite being 'food," could actually suffocate you if inhaled.

Even IF there was a natural event going on, creating these drastic changes, it is just stupid to accelarate it even more. What strikes me the most is the fact that nobody disagrees that staying in a closed room with the motor of a gasoline driven car in full operation is not very healthy, even if the redt of the room is filled with plants. The earths atmosphere is a gigantic "room". It will take longer to poison the air, but there is no window we can open towards space, to let fresh air in, and the toxic parts will not miraculously vanish.

System change will benefit climate change (if indeed we are the main reason for it) It's simply a more fundamental concern. What difference does it make if we all agree to fix the climate but still bomb innocent people all over the world for their resources (US/NATO)? We can't carbon-credit our way out of this.

The problem I have with the climate change agenda is the fact that they don't choose the right way to things. Take energy it produces like 33% of the co² emissions, so we need to switch wind is expensive and unreliable same with solar, the sun isn't always shining and the wind isn't always blowing. But if you suggest nuclear power, you will get yelled and screamed at, nuclear is clean and reliable we also solved the nuclear waste problem along time ago, it's also just badass. An alternative to coal is right their but instead they invest in the worst option. They also just lie a lot and ruin events and artwork with their stupid protest. And all the elites do is whine on their private jets not actually caring just pretending so they can get money. Also the evidence is lacking and I think 25% of scientists think their is another cause. If you don't agree please argue respectfully and please don't downvote. Just prove me wrong.

“We Can Use Fewer Idiots In The World”: 40 Cases Of Mass Stupidity That Prove People Are Dumb Someone I knew awhile ago had a theft record a mile long. One time, she went in front of the judge, who told her "You know, every time you've appeared in front of me, you've denied stealing. They have you on camera, clearly walking out of the store with unpaid merchandise. So, here's what we're going to do: you can admit you did it this time, and I'll let you walk out of here today, with probation. If you still deny it, then I'll sentence you to 90 days right here, right now".

Now, her attorney looked at her and said three words: "Take the deal". She said something back, shaking her head. Her attorney then looked at the judge, and said "Your honor, my client maintains her innocence"; BOOM, three months in the county jail, just like that.

It never ceases to amaze me how some people would rather jump off of the Empire State building (or lose their freedom) than simply admit they are wrong.
