The bulk of the population is not an individual in society but a flock animal; in other words, it is not reason but emotion. Therefore, it joins the largest flock or the one that gives it something it needs at the moment, paying back by conforming as much as possible.
It is a theme that has been historically well-dissected in philosophy, primarily by Schopenhauer.
