I'm not hanging on one word. I'm refuting your assertion that millions of people acted as one, with a single motivation for their actions. It's an absurd prospect. People are individuals who have their own reasons for doing things. And by painting them all with one subjective brush, you are demonstrating a lack of empathy, and an unwillingness to see the situation from any other perspective than your own. It's unproductive, and intellectually bankrupt.
