The Psychology of Totalitarianism: Loneliness, Propaganda, Control - Professor Mattias Desmet

Professor Matthias Desmet, renowned clinical psychologist from the University of Ghent and author of the groundbreaking book on mass formation The Psychology of Totalitarianism, shares profound insights into the psychological dynamics behind the rise of totalitarianism in our modern world.

Expect to learn how our materialist, rationalist worldview has led to unprecedented loneliness and disconnection, how propaganda and mass formation work together in a "diabolic pact" between elites and masses, why digital technology reduces human resonance by 95%, and how the COVID crisis demonstrated the power of mass formation in action.

This powerful conversation offers both a warning about our current trajectory and a blueprint for maintaining our humanity in an increasingly mechanistic world. Essential listening for anyone seeking to understand and respond to our current global crisis.

[eileenmurraydancingmindful]

Thank you Eddie. You are a shining light in the darkness. I saw through the veils from day 1. Keep up your wonderful work. Ireland needs you to wake us all up.

[IrishMags]

Thank you Eddie for all you do. Very interesting conversation.

[AC-ibjj]

Thanks for all you do Eddie. It's a pity you don't have a bigger platform because I think you're somebody that could wake up a lot of the people who still believe RTE.
You're a recogniseable name and I think people would listen to you quicker than an unknown person on YouTube.
This country is badly in need of an alt-media channel with big viewership.

[AbbyWynneAuthor]

You’ve been shadow banned to have so few views over such a long period of time. Shocking how these platforms are so captured.

[sumerr]

Absolute gold right there. You hear me Joe Rogan?

[A--]

I would love to know Mattias's analysis of Richard Boyd Barret 🙏 A fine specimen to be studied

[Hayes]

Matheius final point on understanding evil, that’s the kicker. The Catholic Church with all its flaws, understands evil, and the only church with the weapons to fight it. Know your enemy, put on the armour of God, especially the Rosary.

[danielbruynseels]

If you are old enough, you recognize that the principle of legal equality for everyone often exists as merely an illusion in practice. Nonetheless, it is crucial to uphold this illusion, as it forms the foundation of trust between the legal system and the citizen. However, it is undeniable that some individuals within this legal construct are disproportionately more equal than others, raising questions about the true effectiveness and fairness of our legal and social structures.

[coraquaid]

I never bought into it saw it as social engineering from the beginning

[Dabhach]

Great interview, Eddie. And props to Matthias for keeping up with the Cork accent 😅
