Mass Psychosis ~ A Killing of the Mind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09maaUaRT4M
This video explores the most dangerous of all #psychic #epidemics, the #mass #psychosis. It is an #epidemic of #madness and it occurs when a large portion of a #society loses touch with #reality and descends into #delusions. Such a phenomenon is not a thing of fiction. Two examples are the #American and #European witch hunts of the16th and 17th centuries and the rise of #totalitarianism in the 20th century.
What is it? How does is start? Has it happened before? Are we experiencing one right now? And if so, how can the stages be reversed?

Paine was a consistent advocate of a strong federal government and also a sharp critic of economic inequality and poverty who designed the world’s first fully fleshed-out scheme of social welfare provision. Beyond that, he introduced millions to a radical critique of private property and class society, and pointed to democratic politics as the solution.
