Ever since Dr. Robert Malone introduced 'Mass Formation' on the JRE, people have been more familiar with Mattias Desmet. Since he first discussed the theory, he has published a book.
Excellent summary. When I first heard Desmet on Dan Astin-Gregory's podcast over a year ago, it was so impactful. Finally, some "handles" I could grasp explaining the fearful hysteria I saw in MSM, and in neighbours and friends - seemingly unable to question the narrative, or even think critically about what we know about viruses/vaccines. Loved Tucker's interview with him. Years ago, I enjoyed Neil Postman's book, "Amusing Ourselves to Death" and began teaching a literature unit to my gr 11's with Orwell's 1984 and Huxley's Brave New World side by side. I'm retired now, but the themes of both resonate more than ever in today's lost, media-addicted, shallow-entertainment-distracted society.
1) He is narrowing his criticism on a sub-population that is not the 'masses' to which Desmet refers. To the contrary, Desmet states certain behaviors manifesting in the masses versus the passive.
2) He mistakes the emergent phenomenon of both mass formation and totalitarianism, with a focus on the analogy of hypnotism.
From this article, it seems to me that CJ is strawmanning Desmet, whilst misunderstanding the fundamental claim of the dynamics involved.
Excellent. Article gives guidance and hope to the red pilled

I read the post.
It seems to me that CJ is making 2 mistakes:
1) He is narrowing his criticism on a sub-population that is not the 'masses' to which Desmet refers. To the contrary, Desmet states certain behaviors manifesting in the masses versus the passive.
2) He mistakes the emergent phenomenon of both mass formation and totalitarianism, with a focus on the analogy of hypnotism.
