Quote by George Eliot
The tendancy of liberals is to create bodies of men and women of all classes detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to mass suggestion mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed, well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined.
Summary
This quote suggests that liberals have a tendency to create groups of people who are disconnected from tradition, lacking religious beliefs, and easily influenced by mass manipulation. It argues that even if these individuals are well-provided for in terms of their basic needs and are disciplined, they will still exhibit mob-like behavior. The quote implies that liberals' efforts to create egalitarian societies might inadvertently lead to the formation of groups prone to aggression and irrational decision-making.
