In English you label groups of people by their moral intentions and collective needs. A mob tries to convince itself it's right and needs to prove it. A crowd knows it's right because if it weren't right, they would all need to be someplace else. A throng doesn't give a fuck about moral imperatives, it just wants and needs something to happen.
In his book "Slumberland," Paul Beatty explores the distinctions between different groups of people based on their moral intentions and collective needs. He describes a mob as a group that seeks validation of its beliefs and feels compelled to justify its actions. This inherent need for affirmation drives their behavior, as they strive to prove their righteousness to themselves and others.
On the other hand, a crowd possesses a sense of certainty about their collective stance, operating under the belief that if their actions were wrong, they'd be inclined to move elsewhere. In contrast, a throng is indifferent to moral considerations; it is primarily driven by a desire for immediacy and action, focusing on fulfilling its wants rather than any ethical implications.
