Mattias Desmet ('The Psychology of Totalitarianism') talks to John Waters

 

Mattias Desmet has been popping up on youtube speaking about the phenomenon of mass formation or the coalescenceof a significant percentage of the population around a perceived situation  that must be dealt with even at the cost of abandoning normal ethical principles.  The covid 19 ‘emergency’ which I have been calling covidology is an example of this zombification.  A lot of people got bitten.

In his conversation with John Waters he covers much of the same ground as he did previously linking the panicked response to the emergence of totalitarianism.  He’s written a book on this ‘The Psychology of Totalitarianism’ which is to be published later this month.  The difference between the usual delineation of the mechanisms facilitating the emergence of a mob mind and this conversation with John Waters is the sympathetic vibration of their strings which brought out what Otto called the non-rational sources of knowledge and awe normally called wisdom.  Aristotle and the Thomists, that band, call it connaturality.  The not-mentioned Jacques Maritain frequently writes about it in ‘The Degrees of Knowledge’- on my book stand at the moment.

Have a look: you’re worth it.

RE Dr. Desmet, his mass formation narrative, and his "teachings" ...

The official framing of this "phenomenon" is misleading and wrong. The false hope-addicted psychologists and their acolytes want you to believe this is "just some temporary occasional" madness by the masses that has been going on for a couple of centuries when it is but a spike of a CHRONIC madness going on for aeons with "civilized" people --- read “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”” .... https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

One of these mainstream psychologists who have been spreading this whitewashed reality, Dr. Desmet, also fails to see that the PLANNED Covid Psyop is a TOTALLY deliberate ploy because he doesn't think (after more than 1 year, even 2 years, into this total PLANNED scam!) it's ALL intentionally sinister as he stated in a prior podcast (this makes him witting or unwitting controlled opposition).

In the May of 2022 podcast with James Corbett he stated that "some people tend to overestimate the degree of planning and intentions" (behind the COUNTLESS, VERIFIABLE, FULLY INTENTIONAL, FULLY PLANNED atrocities by the ruling tribe of psychopaths over the last century alone) and see all of it as being planned which Desmet called "an extreme position" ... Sound logical thinking is "extreme" and therefore false and sick in his demented delusional view!!!

In his overpriced misleading whitewashing old material regurgitated book the psychology of totalitarianism he too states that "There are countless ... examples that seem to point in the direction of a plan being implemented, such as the fact that the definition of 'pandemic' was adjusted shortly before the coronavirus crisis; that the definition of 'herd immunity' was changed during the crisis, implying that only vaccines can achieve it ... [he continuous with several other obvious facts of an ENTIRELY PLANNED event, especially discerned through the totality of all these facts]." "SEEM to point in the direction of a plan"??? No! They most evidently, clearly, and irrefutably DO demonstrate and prove it IS a COMPLETELY AND FULLY DELIBERATE PlanDemic! A big scam. An Entirely Planned Holocaust against the non-ruling herd of people (see cited link above). A coherent 12-year old kid can figure that out.

It clearly shows Desmet's own complete lunacy. But because almost everyone in the culture is a member of mass formation (madness), including the "woke" people of the alternative media domain, hardly anyone recognizes Desmet's lunacy. Not surprising that he has even become some type of popular "guru" among the adherents of the alternative media landscape.

This all means Desmet is ALSO a member of the masses of lunatics, an ACTIVE CARD-CARRYING MEMBER of mass formation!!! When, if at all, will he wake up from his state of mass psychosis? When, if at all, will he face the TRUE and FULL reality instead of hiding behind fantasies such as his whitewashed "reality" of human civilization?

Worst of all, perhaps, the mass formation/mass psychosis notion frames the problem as the public being a mere unaccountable non-culpable victim in this phenomenon (the gist of the circular argument is: the masses should change their thinking but they got brainwashed so they're victims). Nothing could be further from the truth (see referenced source above).

Desmet is right in that truth-activists must fight against mass formation psychosis (human madness). That also means exposing HIS deeply destructive mad part of it. This comment serves, in part, that objective.

Thanks for your comment, a rarity these days so I don’t check for them so delay in response -
I wrote this a few days ago:

"Yes I thought so. It’s there in the Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology - con spirare (breathe).
 They breathe the same air in the same room and closeted therein they breathe it back again. After they have done that for some time, a humble  representative of enlightened opinion hands out a sheet. The words are not their own but the tune is familiar. Then they start to sing."

What I mean is, a convergence of ideology eg. materialism, scientism, technocracy, fear of death, alienation, anomie create the ideal setting for the emergence of a mob mentality. Are there individual actors who would love to control and guide the lumpens into a brighter future? Of course there are but they do not need to get together to plot and plan because they are all infected by versions of the same ideology and the glamour of ‘nudge’ psyops.

Desmet breaks down the population into approximately 3 sections - 40% are fully behind the mania, 30% not so much but go along with it and the last 30% who reject it as what it is. Neither I nor my good friend got vaxxed; the stats which were available showed that this was only a danger for a very small percentage of the population so we viewed the lockdowns as quite unnecessary.
