Will Self

I'm an anarchist. I'm implacably opposed to heirarchical systems of power and control. I also mistrust crowds, as they often operate according to their lowest common denominator. In terms of evolutionary psychology, the crowd is very close to a herd of stampeding wildebeest.

English Author

Northrop Frye

The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones.

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency.

American General

A stampede is often triggered by fear or panic in a crowd or group of animals.

Fear Triggered

It involves large numbers, not just a few individuals acting independently.

Large Scale

As a verb, 'stampede' emphasizes loss of control among the group.

Lack of Control

The movement is typically fast and panic-driven, not orderly or planned.

Panic Movement

It can describe people hurriedly doing something without taking time to think.

Hasty Action

Commonly used to describe frenzied shopping behavior during sales.

Consumer Context

It conveys a sense of chaos and unpredictability.

Chaos

It can describe a rush of excitement, not just fear or panic.
