What is An Appendix to ’The Devils of Loudun’ - On Mob Violence about?
Huxley wrote almost a century ago about the pernicious, toxic effects of mob violence. Citing religious and political spectacles, designed to rabble-rouse the proletariat, the sports debacles where violence is fervently expected and more often than not, gotten in excess when all get mauled, beaten, abused and killed. In Huxley's terms, mob violence is the easiest and cheapest "high" a human can indulge, yet very little has been said against it. Ever. This is not simply 'bad,' it is the worst degradation our humanity can endure. So many of us submit to it like sheep. Wake up! WAKE UP! Do not be manipulated by heartless ideologues who have forsaken their humanity.
