I completely agree with the view point of Mr. Peele. humanity is really the most dangerous thing and on this earth and if you implant an Idea that can influence or scare people to going on its side it can be catastrophic. A prime example of this is the Nazi's. They were able to get most of Europe to submit to fear. This lead to no one saying or objecting in the government when they started to kill off people that a select few thought were unfit for society. through this millions upon millions of people where murdered. Also we shouldn't let power influence us into believing what they say is true we should always do our own research.
I also do see how people can be afraid of not being apart of the crowd. this can be also traced into our ancestral roots because we are a social species and we don't want to left out by our own while everyone else is all together and know what is going on and you are just in the dark. that can also cause a since of fear for your life because what if the group decided to just eliminate you because they didn't like you and you couldn't do anything about it because you were on the outside looking in. So I believe that this is a really big social norm for us to fall in to following the mob for our own safety and scene of belonging.
