Exactly!! I've spoken out since the beginning . Grateful that I did , I stood up for my beliefs and the underlying uneasiness and darkness that seemed to accompany this virus. I'm an RN and chose to not get the shot ( refuse to call it a vaccine) Thank you gentlemen for a great conversation. 💜
Wonderful. It gives me hope to see the real heroes-- the brave intellectuals, profs, doctors, humans-- who see all this clearly, to be connecting and coming together like this to share thoughts and discussions. Thank you
I think this happened between 1933 - 1945 in Germany. I never understood how that regime could come to power so quickly and do such terrible things. After the Covid madness I finally realised how it happened. And this wonderful man explains it very clearly. Thank you.
And also in Communist Russia and Red China. But the totalitarianism now is focused almost entirely on control of the public mind and is global in scope, but, like the old totalitarianism, has a central cult figure (Bill Gates or Klaus Schwab).
I'm going out on a limb here. I suggest that the one that do NOT fall for the mass formations are (EXTREME) INTROVERTS. These people are used to be lonely, so they are not prone to fall for a group think.
Maybe not all introverts, but definitely people who are independent by nature and have learned to think for themselves. My husband is extremely outgoing, and I am the opposite; but we both saw through Covid right away. I will add, though, that both of us attended private or parochial schools for our early education.
I've had health issues since early childhood, perhaps because of vaxes. My health has gradually improved since only using plant based medicines and food supplements. I occasionally have a cold now, that's all. All my - injected - collaegues have been seriously ill at least once in the last couple of years. I only had one little cold with a strange taste in my mouth - might've been c*vid. Some say it's a matter of principle to not take the jab; for me it started with common sense.
The biggest surprise to me and one that gave me serious doubts about the vaxxine was how fast social media and MSM blocked any attempts by very smart scientists to discuss the issues intelligently.
So great to listen to this and read all of these fantastic comments. It’s awesome to see so many of us are awake during this collective insanity of humanity
"War is a force that gives us meaning." Anomie is part of this as people want meaning and war gives us meaning. A literal war or a cultural war, any kind of war, it doesn't matter. Some of us need enemies to define ourselves and our world view. Making you less than makes me feel more than. It's a feature of human nature... This is why you can't reach them with reason or facts, they see it as an attack on their sense of self and world view. To accept inconvenient facts means that their world view and sense of self is a lie and they can't accept that and at most can only experience cognitive dissonance unless the spell is broken and it's hard to break this spell! It's like a sunk cost fallacy, they have a lot invested in their beliefs. It's self preservation in a sense as accepting they live by lies is a kind of death, a death of the mind. Cult deprogramming is hard. Forming cults is pretty easy. Propaganda works if done cleverly.
Sorry, I should of course say 'During the C Madness' I learnt to understand it. It was strange to observe highly intelligent people falling for the propaganda and spin. Totally insane. All done on purpose of that I am sure.
Mass formation precisely happens when things "resonance". That is what it is. Mass formation occurs all the time except the *mass* is different. What is important is what drives the resonance and that IS done by power AND by capital. Without capital the drivers of the resonance cannot push the mass in to resonance to the degree it becomes self-driving.
The pursuit of tyranny is to make the citizens bankrupt, on the one hand so that the regime's guard can be maintained with the people's money, and on the other hand, so that the citizens are busy and have no time left for thinking. The imposition of heavy taxes, the absorption of citizens' property, and the construction of large projects that exhaust the public finances aim at this result. - Aristotle (Politics).
I was forced against my will, or lose my job. Yes, I could have lost everything, but that wasn't really a viable option. I am not in a position to just walk away from my life.
The Carpenter of Nazareth, the Great Polarizer, Destroyer of Psychological Self-Righteousness, Wrecker of the Dunning-Kruger Effect, circa 30 AD, to his hodgepodge of followers: "You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire. Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift." Psychological blind spots are the pre-requisite for self-righteousness. Jesus' teachings were replete with this. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." If only there were a youtube video to watch those men, one by one, drop their stones and walk away muttering under their breath. There can be no collective self-awareness where individual self-awareness is bereft. Long live those willing to examine the logs in their own eyes! Cheers to the Polarizers!

Same goes on now with Ukraine /US +EU vs Russia.
And also in Communist Russia and Red China. But the totalitarianism now is focused almost entirely on control of the public mind and is global in scope, but, like the old totalitarianism, has a central cult figure (Bill Gates or Klaus Schwab).
Mao and Stalin topped that.
Heading off to watch the long version now. Two courageous and brilliant men. Thank you !

@@thedecentcow Best explanation I have read: “The far left rejects any truth that threatens their lies.”
I’m more afraid of becoming a monster than being killed by one
Not me lol
Beautifully said
You have to be a monster( if you are man), but disciplined. (J. Peterson)
Yes, kindred spirits. Thank you Bret.
So great to listen to this and read all of these fantastic comments.

Klaus Schwab is the madman with an ideology that he won't give up on
it's more than one man, we are catching fleeting glimpses of a far larger beast
Something seems to be deliberately creating greater poverty, not just in U.S. but in the world as a whole.
He's also a dunce. See Chris Bray's substack report on his book, The Fourth Industrial Revolution.
@@carlscott5447 People like him are always legends in their own minds.
@@SteviePaints He sure looks like he's very happy with himself.
This man Mr Desmet is a genius.....I saw him first in Tucker Carlson show first.
Thank you so much for sharing this, just the pick me up I needed ☺️
Very good discussion. Thanks for sharing 👍

One of the most profound podsast I ever listened to.
Amazing insight! And what a great scholar, thanks 🙌🏻

Trying to make sense of crazy times

Resistance is victory. Polarizing is good. Division is good. Yeshua said he didn't come to bring peace, but instead, division. It makes perfect sense.
What about the collective psychosis spectrum. I think there is such a formation that exists.
PUREBLOOD for life !!
Thank you for this.

This perfectly fits, and explains, the Israeli approach to Palestine. Thank you❤️
mattias himself denies that obvious fact.....
Great! ❤

Sometimes it's easier to go along with the Mass and be protected by the Mass. Others just can't help themselves from resisting
