Psychologist Explains How COVID Turned People Into Fascists
The tl;dr is: via mental surrender and mass formation psychosis. And by the way, if you think this only applies to the Magaheads or the AntiVaxxers, or even just to Americans, you are historically and dangerously mistaken.
It applies just as much to me and to you too, and the hallmark of the formation, according to the smart guy, is “intolerance for dissident voices … as if this (intolerance) were an ethical duty”. Whether the voices be named Nina Turner or Marjorie Taylor Greene.
He instead asserts that the real moral duty consists of continuing to speak out in resistance to the consensus trance even if speaking out does not appear to have any effect or change any minds. Resisting voices create the possibility of doubt and alternatives, and thereby (if nothing else) hold back the power of the hypnotic agreement to become total and absolute.
I hope you can see how that would make me feel better.
And yes it does.

The smart guy’s name, by the way, is Mattias Desme and his title is: University of Ghent professor of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
Later in the interview he has some interesting things to say about what “Trust The Science” came to mean over the last few years. It’s really something more like “Have Blind Faith In What We Tell You Is Science”.
It turns out that in our ‘data-driven’ for-profit world of conflicted interests, 85 percent of all research turns out to be irreproducible, not able to be reproduced, and therefore is, scientifically speaking, useless.
In this context:
They told you the virus arose naturally in a wet market, but they were lying about that–it was engineered.
They told you the vaccine would make it less likely you would get Covid, and that was almost purely false, but then they doubled down and said you had to keep on getting ‘boosted’ to keep up with the evolutionary variants.
Most perniciously, they told you getting the jab would help protect your vulnerable loved ones from getting sick from you, and that was almost completely wrong too.
They told you that side effects were minimal and that was another dangerous lie.
In the end, at best, the still largely untested and still largely unapproved vaccines led to some milder cases for some people.
But the exact same thing was true about Ivermectin and monoclonals and a lot of random crap.
You hissed at Joe Rogan and you slapped Neil Young on the back for his principled boldness, but that was all bullshit-based too. Or, to say it in the language of mass formation psychosis, you were collectively hypnotized.
People are still getting fired for refusing to take their garbage medicine.
The vaccine was wildly successful though, at making the rich richer, from Bill Gates to the notorious inside trader Nancy Pelosi.
They lie and the lie and then they tell you to worship the science, sinner. But they don’t give a shit about science.
They want money. They want power. They want control.
Of your thinking and your actions and your beliefs.
And your Time.
Do it today. Do it anxiously.
Hurry.
