Belgian psychologist Mattias Desmet has a new book coming out in English translation, The Psychology of Totalitarianism, which develops an approach to the formulation of totalitarianism using the phenomenon of “mass formation.” These ideas have already been introduced to a vast population from the popularising reviews by Dr Robert Malone.
In short, mass formation is a type of collective hypnosis “that destroys individuals’ ethical self-awareness and robs them of their ability to think critically.” We saw this, and continue to see it with the Covid plandemic, where, to take but one example, doctors cease to think critically, if they ever did, and refuse to accept that there are widespread Covid vax injuries. Many examples of this have been given at the blog. The birth of totalitarianism comes from this fail to think and question, but it does require more to grow into the poisonous flower that it is, such as anomie and loneliness, free-floating anxiety, frustration and aggression. These factors breakdown traditional liberalism, and open the individuals to technocratic control.
