Mattias Desmet, he's a psychologist. He's also a statistician, He's at the University of Ghent... Many of us are very impressed by his thinking... I think Mattias is on to something, and he calls it 'MASS FORMATION PSYCHOSIS" ... so when he says, 'Mass formation,' you can think of it as crowd... so it's Mass Crowd Psychosis ... Mass Formation Psychosis is like hypnosis ... This is what happened to the German people ... western thinking people, how could they go so crazy ? ... a civilized people ? And this is the explanation ...
You have to have a set of preconditions ... 2019, it seems like forever ago ...

Mass formation psychosis . . . it's not just for liberals anymore.
Hmmmm...yet something else to which I’m immune.
Re: This is what happened to the German people.
Except the German people during WWII were fighting Communism and Big European Banks - the same as we are today. So, who knows, maybe we have been brainwashed about Germany. The winners write history. So what haven’t we been told and have we been brainwashed?
Carl Jung talked about this phenomenon; I think he called them ‘psychic infections.”
Mass Formation Psychosis?
A fancy name for Herd Mentality or The Lemming Effect? lulz
No.
I’ve heard the term Psycho Boom bandied about. I think it’s apt.
I’ve been saying something similar about leftists for years; at least 13 years now.
Like the Covidian Cult they are simply incapable of processing information that goes against their ingrained mental narrative. Some people are more easily brainwashed into a kind of mass hypnosis than others. Probably because they want to believe the malarkey of the leftist media sources.
Facts, truth, and proof are no match for this hysteria of the mind and the fear porn that made it happen.
Dr. Malone, I, and I’m sure a high percentage of Freepers are in agreement on this. We witness it all the time. At least this gives it a name and a source.
Strange but true, and a hell of an opening for conservatives to take advantage of.
My wife got cut-off from the Holiday baking with her Liberal friend as we aren’t vaxxed. My wife would often get home just wore out from the liberal talk anyway.
So this year it was baking with new friends. Discussion topics ranged from Bible apps to guns.
Liberals are refusing to look at data or logic in all sorts of areas, ranging from COVID to climate change to defunding the police, gender identity issues, and the mania they have for electric vehicles. It is escalating into a full-spectrum insanity that cannot sustain itself much longer before it collapses under the weight of so many faulty assumptions.
When they are out of power it is easy enough to blame the other side for everything but now that they are ruling and things continue to go badly for all their positions, who can they blame but themselves? But the longevity of blame sets in, just as Obama blamed Bush well into his second term, Biden can blame Trump for quite some time yet, even though everything that is going wrong for Biden is clearly his own doing, or more accurately, the result of poor decisions made by his handlers. I doubt that he’s even in the room when those decisions are made.

Watch later.
Dr Malone is spot on, but there are mechanisms at work to engineer the propagation and reinforcement of the psychosis. One of the biggest reinforcement mechanisms is that our political class has created an almost invincible constituency for covid. Building this unbreakable constituency for covid has been the true Operation Warp Speed ( and much of it has been funded by Warp Speed government funding ) . We have Big Pharma profiting heavily, we have the Corporate Medical Care system being funded by the government covid policy makers, our medical and academic research system is going flat out researching covid, we have the media churning ratings with the drama, we have the Amazon.coms of the world taking over retail sales and killing the brick and mortar competition, we have a increasingly idle population making more money on government unemployment than they ever had working while loving the drama covid provides - Oprah on steroids, we have government employees and school teachers loving their their new stay at home and do nothing .gov jobs life styles, and the whole political class is loving the power they have grabbed and financially they making a killing (literally and figuratively) on the lobbying, kickbacks and sweetheart deals enriching family members. Covid is now the best funded sector of our economy and nobody wants to shut down their gravy train. Its becoming the an infectious mohair subsidy
