On his episode of >JRE he said something called "mass formation psychosis" existed, and had something to do with COVID(?!?) which is a bald-faced lie.

Mass formation psychosis is a thing that does exist. It just means shared delusion. Psychologists steer clear of religion, but if you are atheist, beliefs in Gods would be a good example.

It basically just means erroneous groupthink. It absolutely has something to do with COVID, but people obviously argue over which side is delusional, or at least more delusional.



view as:

Your first and third paragraph contradict each other

How so?

That first line (the one that starts with ">") is indicating that they are quoting someone else. It is not their statement.

North Koreans believe that running the fan at night will make you sick and might kill you.

It's all a govt delusion to reduce power consumption at night, including blackouts in the name of "public safety".

Not picking on them, because Americans have way more delusional thinking when it comes to things like food safety, but its hard to use a delusion as an example/ proof to the deluded that... they're deluded.
