Thing I Know #274. Heath Ledger’s Joker had it exactly right. People will choose brutality, injustice, carnage, malfeasance, death or destruction every time as long as the alternative is true chaos. They want to know there is a plan. If they get the idea there is no plan, they go nuts. If there’s a plan, they’re somewhat satisfied, no matter what that plan actually is.

What a nice little isolated piece of well-above-average movie-making that was. Awful ending. But there's a lot of useful commentary about humans wrapped up in that Joker character.
