Because people want to "fit in". They've done many experiments on this.
A person was shown 4 objects of obvious different sizes and asked which was the longest. When they were alone, 100% got it right. Then a person was put with 25 other people and shown the same 4 objects. This time, however, a majority of the other people purposefully answered wrong. 74% of people tested agreed with the ones who answered wrong, even though they knew those people were wrong - just because they didn't want to seem different. Mob mentality = If a majority of people are doing something then it must be the right thing to do - whether one thinks it is or not.
Well King don surely tapped into that. How lucky are we? SIGH. Many people prefer being sheeple. Sad that. Thank you for your thoughtful and informative reply Shuhak. I wonder how, when, where it will end? With whimper or a bang? :(
