'Mass Formation' - The Counter Points
Who's really to blame?
Greetings fellow plebs and peasants,
By now you likely have at minimum become aware of the the so-called Mass Formation theory. If not, read this first:
The Psychology of Totalitarianism
What is mass formation actually? It’s a specific kind of group formation that makes people radically blind to everything that goes against what the group believes in. In this way, they take the most absurd beliefs for granted.
A second characteristic of an individual in the grip of mass formation is that they become willing to radically sacrifice individual interest for the sake of the collective.
Thirdly, individuals in mass formation become radically intolerant for dissonant voices. In the ultimate stage of the mass formation, they will typically commit atrocities toward those who do not go along with the masses. And even more characteristic: they will do so as if it is their ethical duty.
In recent weeks there has been a many proposing alternate theories as to how and why tyranny takes hold. Are the people to blame? Are the tyrants to blame? Or is it somewhere in the middle?
Mass Formation and the Missionary Mind: A Wounded Warrior's Cry
In fact, we in the modern world have been so thoroughly robbed of this basic understanding of our important parts that we often self-harm, or pretend that we only live in the material world, and that nothing has a soul. The history of how it came to be this way is its own beast but for the purpose of this story, we can just say that we do exist in different worlds, and our different parts talk to each other all the time.
Our physical state can impact our spiritual state, and our spiritual state can impact our physical state. An important part of this dance is our free will, what we choose to do and toward what end.
Mass Formation Hypnosis Disorder
No one has been methodically gaslighting anyone, or terrorizing anyone with propaganda, or censoring or segregating anyone, or coercing anyone to get needlessly “vaccinated” with any sort of dangerous experimental drugs, or consciously conspiring with anyone to do anything.
Everyone has simply been suffering from Mass Formation Hypnosis Disorder!
COVID and “Mass Formation” theory
Mass formation refers to some sort of mass hypnotic state of mind. As if a cloud, a mist, a transmitted signal. Birthed within a few hundred million or a few billion minds…whoosh. And its basic message is: YOU WILL OBEY YOUR COVID LEADERS. AND IF YOU’RE A LEADER, YOU’LL BE A TYRANT. Something like that.
Uh huh.

Mass Formation? Here’s a much better theory
Moving on, there have always been controllers in power (ready to use major force, when necessary) who form groups. Favored groups. Although this may appear to be an effort to create equal opportunity, these campaigns eventually give way to: form groups that will act as ground troops to increase the power of the controllers.
That’s group formation.

Mass Formation and Mass Psychosis: A False and Dangerous Concept that Threatens Our Freedom
by Peter Breggin MD & Ginger Breggin
Their basic idea behind mass formation or mass psychosis is that totalitarianism originates or arises spontaneously out of 30% of the people who become obsessed with giving away their freedom and becoming dependent. The people literally convert themselves into a totalitarian force of psychotic proportions that will eventually violently attack those who disagree with them while creating dictators like Hitler and Stalin.
In short, it is the people, and not the elite, the political class, or the wealthy and powerful predators, who seek to oppress us. It is the “crowd” — a mythological group that did not even exist during the height of COVID-19 oppression because crowds were illegal.

A Much Better Explanation than “Mass Psychosis” — One That Encourages Freedom
by Peter Breggin MD & Ginger Breggin
This normal response to severe, personalized oppression with loss of autonomy stifles free will and real freedom, and suppresses the human spirit. It is further characterized by every imaginable emotional misery, depending on the individual’s vulnerabilities. It includes guilt, shame, anxiety, chronic irritability, apathy, depression, paranoia, demoralization, and denial. As most of us have experienced, these victims of oppression have very considerable anxiety and a negative reaction to anything that stimulates awareness of their dreadful circumstances and their feelings of hopelessness about ever going free.
