Humans are manipulable, especially in large numbers. Humans are violent, but not irrational. It takes convincing for that.

    People are absolutely irrational, especially in groups

    Individually, humans are erratic, not irrational. Seeing action without reason is very rare, the thing is that the reason that lead them is often flawed. Group dynamics are a whole different beast tho, they could be described as irrational.
