Mattias Desmet, a professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University in Belgium, uses the term mass formation psychosis to describe the power of authoritarian leaders to control their citizens when a significant percentage embrace a common ideology that replaces reason. Premier examples he points to are Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia under Stalin’s regime. He has been widely criticized and his ideas dismissed by authorities who see it as only a metaphorical description without a biological basis in fact. Is Desmet correct in his observations, that people who are led by and follow questionable leaders are often in the grip of a psychologically abnormal conformity? Is this a kind of mass delusion that is actually mind control being done by extraterrestrial controllers?
