Mass Psychosis And Left-Wing Groupthink - Real truth doesn’t need a shield from questions — only mass psychosis does.
American Thinker ^ | 24 Feb, 2026 | Jim Davis

In the warped universe of today’s Social Justice Warriors, Trump is Hitler. Racism is baked into our DNA and lurking around every corner, Nazis are hiding under every bed, white supremacists run the show in our major institutions, and any inconvenient facts that punch holes in this nonsense just prove how sneaky and deep-rooted the evil really is.

The more they scream it from the rooftops, the more it solidifies as “truth” in their echo chambers. Their sealed-off media bubble keeps the illusion alive, sucking believers into an endless loop where everything gets twisted to fit the narrative, no matter how absurd.

Playing the race card, or defining anyone who disagrees with their lifestyles as a “bigot” or a “homophobe,” is their first and only line of defense. It’s all framed to protect their sacred cows — gender as a pick-your-own adventure, identity politics as the ultimate power play, systemic racism as the original sin, CRT as gospel, science bent to political whims, Modern Monetary Theory as economic voodoo, and the rest of their pet theories.

These aren’t up for debate or real-world testing; they’re handed down as unquestionable truths. “Believe the science,” they said. “The vaccines are safe and effective,” they said. But here’s the kicker: a lot of this junk is actually checkable against hard evidence, if you know where to look — and it crumbles under scrutiny — yet the true believers won’t let facts get in the way.

Just the other day, Glenn Beck was chatting with Buck Sexton about his new book, Manufacturing Delusion, which digs into how propaganda and brainwashing tricks have cranked out obedient sheep throughout history.

Sexton tipped his hat to Joost Meerloo, a Dutch-American M.D. and psychoanalyst, for laying the groundwork. I stumbled onto Meerloo myself about 30 years ago,

Leftism is a false religion. They just believe and don’t let facts get in the way.

I would be nice to do a study on “political systems” that are actually religions (Leftism). As well as a study on “religions” which are actually political systems (Islam).

Nazis liked Islam and Modern Leftists like Islam also. They aren’t the same but there is significant overlap. Sociopaths just want power and there is more than one path to follow.

So, what is the cure?

These people are in Jonestown, hanging on every word that comes out of the PA system. Must we wait for bodies and a table full of cyanide?

I would think that the PA system should be turned off. The lunatics won’t like it (nor the shysters running the PA), but in the end it will lessen the bloodshed.

Leftism/Marxism is a Satanic religion.

Another solution, though super radical, would be to give them what hey ask for! That, I leave to your own imagination.

A few years back there was a Belgian by the name of Mattias Desment who coined and wrote on the phenomena of mass formation psychosis and Dr. Malone discussed this in the context to the Covid psychosis.

Not so ‘radical’ — NYC’s got it now.
I will rejoice seeing it crash and burn.

It always stuns me how leftists could be allies of Islam.

Because leftists and liberal types are all about rights for homosexuals , transgender types, rights for women as espoused by abortion rights, etc. Islam opposes all of these rights for various groups of people and issues whom the leftists support.

“Because leftists and liberal types are all about rights for homosexuals…”

That Islam doesn’t set off alarm bells in the leftist brain is proof that they don’t care at all about the host of weirdo’s and perverts they have in their “coalition “. The Left don’t want to really protect anyone , they want power. Any group they can get to help them tear down Western Culture is welcome.

It’s a form of induced paranoid delusional state brought about by relentless brainwashing and selective reinforcement.
