In this video we are going to explore the most dangerous of all psychic epidemics, the mass psychosis. A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples of mass psychoses are the American and European witch hunts 16th and 17th centuries and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century.

This video will aim to answer questions surrounding mass psychosis: What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages of a mass psychosis be reversed?

This is happening all the time these days, nearly everywhere.

“ A mass psychosis is an epidemic of madness and it occurs when a large portion of a society loses touch with reality and descends into delusions”

Gee I wonder who that might be?

[Gaffer]

Yes. Largely with Democrats

[Eleutheria5]

No idea. I haven’t a clue. Could it be...EVERYONE?! (But especially the woke).

Sorry, Church Lady.

Yes, like 57 genders?

In the 1980’s, liberals went on a tear: “Children don’t lie.”

That was used by the finger-pointers to arrest and damage some people, some teachers.

Eventually, somebody pointed out that SOME children do lie, and SOME “mental experts” are experts at planting screwball ideas in kids’ minds.

Yes, that famous, infamous Mass. case. A writer from the WSJ won an award for covering it. Name escapes me know.

I blame the media. In the 1600s they showed the movie “Witch Madness”. In the 1950s, it was “Reefer Madness”. Now (just before election) Hollywood is coming out with “Trump Madness”. The public never reads/remembers history. They never learn.

and the rise of totalitarianism in the 20th century

Not sure that should be considered a psychosis like a literal witch hunt. It rather makes me think of Eric Hoffer’s ideas in The True Believer.

[Jean2]

According to my mother; god rest her soul, children lie as easily as they breathe. It’s part of being a child.

I am reading a book recommended by the Dan Bongino show: “Bad Therapy”.

It is scaring the crap out of me, and I just got into the chapter about how they want to use “Therapy Bots” to provide psychotherapy to EVERYONE.

Frightening book.

The book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" by Charles Mackay (PDF download link below) was written 170 years ago but is just as timely today:

Eric Hoffer was writing about mass psychosis. He just didn’t call it that. But he describes the same process. Frustrated people who believe that their lives are irreversibly ruined, looking to join in the making of some glorious future that can only be accomplished by their fearless leader and his revolutionary doctrine. He knows that it’s all the fault of Jooos!/Kulaks/Capitalists/Zayids (Star Trek reference)/Witches/SBD farters/Injuns/take your pick.

My favorite Eric Hoffer quote:

“Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.”

[RoosterRedux]

Here's a book on this very subject...

The Psychology of Totalitarianism

[SMARTY]

The NEA has been ‘at it’ for decades, preconditioning students (voters, in the end) to buy into the psychosis.

People come out of the educational system with no ability or inclination to question, challenge or to doubt ANYTHING. It makes them prey to unprincipled ‘leaders’ who pretend to care what happens to them.

Of course the media ( and now social media ) drive the nail in further.

Young people are pathetically ignorant and indolent, or they would see that any system which denies them their individuality, will de humanize them forever

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

McMartin School is the perfect example of how people can lose center of gravity and spiral into mental astrology. Mass psychosis is the new normal in the Democrat camp. And they are so far gone they don’t have a way forward to regain their sanity.
