I suppose I could, but I'm honestly not interested in doing so to support a casual conversation on a web forum.

Actually I'm not familiar with the term "mob" being used that way, and a quick search doesn't seem to support your usage either.

How about 1 or 2 analysis of it as an extreme ideology? Even better if they aren't by kooks.
(I can think of lots of other invectives that people apply to it, I'm just not sure that it particularly gets treated as a non mainstream view...)
I also disagree with the point in principle. We even have a word for it when a majority gets on the wrong side of rational (and goes to extremes), a mob.
