Why empower the mob when you know the mob is not rational? Not only is the mob not rational but it is not capable of being rational. This means the mob is not capable of being moral in my opinion, which will lead to all the problems which people fear will come.
Explain how you can make the mob rational to avoid continuous persecution by an irrational mob?
In a different system the mob will have a different character.
Show me that "different system" where the character of the mob has changed.
How can I? It hasn't yet been able to form of course....but the process of reaching that point has begun.
