Kevin Ryan (a distinguished original 11/9 truth proponent) reviews Mattias Desmet's 'The Psychology Of Totalitarianism'

One conclusion being: ‘Yes there bloody-well ARE conspiracies: real, criminal efforts to mislead and harm people, and the covid scam certainly had elements of a big criminal conspiracy’. Mattias has been taken to task by some - the Off-G btls amongst others - because he is read as suggesting that the whole covid scam was a sort of automatic process driven by mass formation, with no criminal conspiracy of gics-and-their-gophers involved. That’s to say that amongst the rabid socialist/marxist tendency he seems to deny any element of the sacred notion of class war. That characterisation of Mattias’ book, btw, isn’t exactly accurate. Kevin makes a more detailed commentary on the strands of argument that it offers.

Interestingly, Kevin also refers to the Tao Te Ching; which chimed with my spontaneous remembering, as I read his review, of the Tao Te Ching’s opening line:

“The Tao which can be spoken of is not the true Tao.
Those who speak do not know; those who know do not speak.”

What Kevin gets at in his review is precisely ‘the Unnamable’ that haunts all our consciousness, and which we can grasp to a worthwhile degree - so long as we abandon modern scientism’s fatal love affair with philosophical reductive materialism; a blind alley if ever there were one, guaranteed to cut us off from our proper contact with The Tao. Kevin is one of those who grasps the imperative necessity to balance - evenly - the intellectual and the intuitive mode of insight-getting. And actually I think Mattias would agree with that. The lefties just got hold of the wrong end of the stick:

Rhis, whilst Desmet might not be right on the mark, I would hazard that he’s pretty close to it.

In my neck of the woods, during the covid stuff (the two most terrifying years I’ve experienced in my life) it came very close to us refuseniks being carted off to concentration camps, and our friends and neighbours would have probably cheered it on.

Brr…

To my mind there seems little doubt that Mattias is quite right about the astonishing mind conversion that mass formation wreaks on susceptible minds - which seems to be a majority.

But yes, the critics are right too when they say that such natural psychological processes are abused and manipulated by the gic/bourgeois-gopher-technocrat classes; the gophers mostly operating as willingly self-deluding obedient useful idiots (Bozo, Hancock, Whitty, Tam, mediawhores, etc., ad nauseam), whilst the gics themselves are perfectly conscious of being in a perpetual class war against we plebs (and against most of the bourgeoisie), all of whom they despise, and try to manage and use like cattle. And yes they do conspire against us, quite consciously, in their time-disgraced (one can’t say ‘honoured’) fashion.

It’s true that Mattias hasn’t much to say about class war, concentrating as he does mostly on the psychology of mass formation. But nothing he says actually contradicts the idea of class war. I bet he’s quite aware of it, and doesn’t disagree.
