We can find such a definition of rabble in Baidu Encyclopedia: "Anyone who falls into a group has a lower moral level than the individual; Their intelligence is lower than that of individuals; Their self-discipline is lower than that of individuals; They lack their own judgment and are easily incited and bewitched. Such a group is called a rabble. " I have long heard of Le Pen's Mob, which Freud called a well-deserved masterpiece. It describes the collective mentality very delicately, pointing out that when a person is an isolated individual, he has his own distinctive personality characteristics. But when he is integrated into the collective, all his personality will be submerged by this collective. Perhaps people who haven't read this book will disagree and think that they can maintain their own personality in group activities, but when you read it deeply, you will be surprised that Le Pen can analyze the characteristics of the group so incisively and vividly, showing people's psychology and the transformation from individual to individual in the group to readers. At the same time, I will question myself. In the collective, can I still stick to my personality, not go with the flow, and become a "mob"?
Undeniably, we can find our own shadow in Mob. The mob put forward four viewpoints: the group is unconscious, the group doesn't care about the facts, the group doesn't accept the theory, and the group also has morality. In fact, most choices of human body are not judged by reason, but are influenced by feeling and some unconscious factors. When the group is together, this unconsciousness will be amplified. For example, everyone chooses to eat in a distant canteen. Do you choose to eat in a nearby canteen when you are in a hurry? Maybe you will say yes, but when everyone makes the same choice and you don't have it, you will convince yourself not to be unsociable in your heart, thus ignoring rational thinking and letting your feelings prevail.
My feeling is that the wheel of history is pushed and created by the masses, but this progress may not be of practical significance, because the masses may not be walking in the right direction. The views in this book may not be all right, but we still have to question and reflect on our own nature. Can I realize my self-worth without becoming a rabble? If our life is a river and we are the waves in the river, there are always people who don't want to take the road of the river, but they always want to jump out and jump a few times. Sorry, you are weak, so the result is that you either go with the flow or go your own way to realize the transformation of your self-form. Please believe that the mainstream is wrong, have your own ideas, and wish everything to start from the heart and return to youth.

Mob is the representative work of Gustave Le Bon, a French social psychologist and founder of group psychology. First published in 1895. The book analyzes the characteristics and causes of groups in a simple way. The book is divided into three volumes, which sequentially analyzes the feelings and moral values, ideas, reasoning and imagination, opinions and leaders of the group. , and in-depth study of social obedience and over-obedience, single interest, mass rebellion, popular culture, self dominated by others, public outdoor, human self-alienation and bureaucracy, and the role of unconsciousness in social behavior. This book has a very extensive and far-reaching influence in international academic circles. Freud once commented: Le Pen's book is a well-deserved masterpiece, which describes the public's mentality very delicately. This book still has important reference value and enlightening significance for us to understand and study various political, economic and cultural phenomena today.
Le Pen believes that a group of people can form a formal group together, but it is not a real group. Only when the conscious personality of the members in the group disappears, their feelings and thoughts turn in different directions, and the collective psychology and * * * characteristics replace everyone's own characteristics, will these people with * * * characteristics enter the state of "psychological group", which is the so-called "organized group".
The book says that the common feature of organized groups is that all the feelings and thoughts of the group are developing in a clear direction. In my opinion, this feature of the group is a double-edged sword. Take the development of the country as an example. If the country sets a correct and reasonable development direction, the national cohesion and centripetal force will be greatly increased, the country will get twice the result with half the effort in developing various political, economic and cultural undertakings, and the country will achieve leap-forward development; However, when the development policy formulated by the state is wrong or the group is misled, the damage to the country is also shocking.
Le Pen also mentioned in the book that through the infection phenomenon in the group, the personality of the members in the psychological group disappears, the unconscious personality gradually strengthens, and everyone in the group will make unconscious behavior. When individuals exist alone, their desires constrained by various restrictions such as law and morality will be revealed and even taken action in collective activities. Individuals may do collective activities such as showing off and swimming that they were afraid to do in the past, which may easily turn into violent incidents. The recent "yellow vest" protest in France also verified this sentence.
In Le Pen's view, the product of a group, regardless of its nature, is always inferior to an isolated individual. In practical sense, we should be alert to ourselves, know ourselves, keep our own personality and be a sober free man, especially in groups.

I read Le Pen's Mob because I read the above sentence in a comment under a news that caused widespread concern but the truth was hard to distinguish. At first glance, I was so lost in thought that I forgot the news events I was concerned about at that time, but I can still easily recall the general meaning of this sentence. I just saw this book on the shelf of the company, so I borrowed it. The following are some summaries and feelings. Le Pen first introduced the group psychology, including emotion, morality, concept, rationality, imagination and belief. Then, it discusses the factors that affect group opinions and the range of change, and holds that group opinions are mainly influenced by indirect factors such as nationality, tradition, time, political and social system, education and direct factors such as image, writing, cliche and illusion, and group opinions tend to go to two extremes; Finally, this group is classified and studied. This book does not provide much methodological content, only some are scattered in various group analysis. Generally speaking, Le Pen is pessimistic about the psychology of human groups. In his book, he repeatedly uses examples to illustrate the incompetence of the group, and thinks that even independent and rational individuals will become emotional, mentally retarded, simple-minded, impulsive, easily hinted and easily controlled thugs.
Every time I look at Le Pen's judgment on the masses, I feel that I have unconsciously become a member of the "mob" in real life. This is also Le Pen's strength. Readers always associate themselves with the examples around them when reading. Every viewpoint of Le Pen can always make readers consciously think of or find some corresponding cases, and after finding them, they will be more convinced of Le Pen's viewpoint. In his works, Le Pen gave full play to his strengths in understanding public psychology, and readers were hooked after reading it. He knows well how to "incite the emotions of the masses in an exaggerated, eloquent and repeated way" and successfully applies this method to readers. He regarded his readers as a "rabble" and achieved success. When reading, the reader becomes a rabble without realizing it. In this way, without providing much methodology, Le Pen easily persuaded the readers with his "eloquent" conclusion directly supported by the case.
Although there are many shortcomings in the discussion of Mob, dialectically speaking, Pang Le's view deserves our deep thought. At the same time, what he brought me was not his point of view, but his cognition, doubt and reflection on social problems from different angles.
