How COVID Turned People Into Fascists – Explained By Psychologist!

The COVID crisis ushered in an episode of “mass psychosis” among the populace where rationality, critical thinking and skepticism flew out the window. As a result of increasing anxiety, loneliness and isolation among the population, COVID arrived at a crucial time to “infect” the masses with a collective hypnosis where the dominant narrative could not be questioned — all this according to University of Ghent professor of psychoanalytic psychotherapy Mattias Desmet. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Professor Desmet about how mass formation works and why COVID struck at just the right moment to virtually hypnotize so many of us.
