Nah, the Greeks had a word for this too: ochlocracy (mob rule).

@Crypto4Lif @clairlemon Most definitely not. 100% in favour of protests. But when it gets dark these protests turn to riots.

@ChavuraStephen @clairlemon This is a Latin version of the word. The Greek one is ὀχλοκρατία.

@ChavuraStephen The main Greek objection to δημοκρατία was that it inevitably degenerated into ὀχλοκρατία, which always resulted in a τύραννος taking control to restore order. Because humans prefer tyranny to anarchy.

@ChavuraStephen @clairlemon Let me guess, when they loot a store they chant "This is what shopping looks like."

@ChavuraStephen @clairlemon The ancient Greeks had a word for everything. Too bad the “educated” class today knows nothing about their thought.

@ChavuraStephen @clairlemon Ah yes, a chanting group of people walking together is the same as "mob rule"

@ChavuraStephen @clairlemon Pretty sure most of the antifa protesters have never cracked a book so not sure they know what democracy is
