Then like a company that lost its mind but is still breathing. PC is the real madness, perpetuated by people.

I agree: herd behavior (witch hunts, lynch mobs, stampedes, crowds chanting to crucify Jesus, Wal-mart on black Friday, panics, trends) is the real downfall of humanity, which is why most people will blame anything else.

The lowest common denominator aka communism, a mob is easy to manipulate as the collective IQ is one of a five years old.

Mobs, like evil, can take infinite forms. I have seen it happen at companies, in social groups, within rock bands, even at non-profits and churches. Any time a hive-mind forms, the hamster within the human comes out all cute and fuzzy, then snarls and eats everything in sight. I think it's a sign of existential desperation.
Calls to mind this:
Four healthy breeding pairs of mice were allowed to reproduce freely in a 'utopian' environment with ample food and water, no predators, no disease, comfortable temperature – a near as possible ideal conditions and space. What happened was described by the author in terms of five phases: establishment, exponential growth, growth slowing, breeding ceases and population stagnant, population decline and extinction

Imagine a mouse head on a pole while tribal squeaks of obedience to the moon-god echo nearby.

The Mob Rules by Black Sabbath comes to mind all this while enjoying 965 in a skull shaped meerschaum.
I dare not imagine a DUCK going through the same ritual, a nefarious thing indeed.

Sounds perfect. I always thought they had a point with that song.
This seemed like a good counterpart:
