So glad you had him on. I appreciate his insights and ALSO Desmits. I think it’very sad that they cannot have a discussion together. They both shine lights on things that I think are different but important aspects of a complex societal phenomenon.
I understand the folks being kowtowed by the propaganda and tyranny. There are many of us though that intuitively felt the off-ness and pretension of the messaging and tyrannical overreach.
I see the idea of mass formation much like (on a MUCH smaller level of course) when one’s local kids sports team is playing. Some parents lose their minds and start screaming maniacally if “their” team is losing. There have been incidents of physical fighting over such small things.
On a much bigger level, the people, though coerced through the tyrants, utilized the narrative for their own neurotic needs.
Unfortunately to the detriments of all of us. Both are to be held responsible in my humble opinion.
If the people were not so gullible and lacking in critical thinking skills, we would not be facing the likely potential of totalitarianism that is a very real threat at this time.
It seems to me Breggin and Desmit are largely in agreement in their thinking, not opposed.
For Desmit, widespread societal loneliness and rootless anxiety do not overwhelm or displace personal responsibility, but heighten people’s need to gain a sense of belonging and psychological release.
This human vulnerability those in power understand full well. With the help of digital technology, control of the media, and immense wealth, these globalists are able to worsen such societal conditions and provide an inescapable narrative that captures the vulnerable.
People cling to this narrative with religious fervor, according to both Desmit and Breggin, because it provides a sense of belonging/identity and fills a religious need.
One thinks of Sozhenitsyn’s comment, “We (Russian people) have come to this (Communistic totalitarianism) because men have forgotten God.”
The unwillingness to see what’s wrong with vax and COVID narrative from start to finish, is exactly the same as people unwilling to look at the evidence of massive election fraud in 2020. This mass formation started with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Once that kicked in, they knew they could do anything … and they did.
Excellent point, Bonnie!
I am mostly in agreement with Dr. Breggin, but I would point out to him that the purpose of punishment is not to rehabilitate the guilty; it’s to administer justice (albeit imperfectly) and to serve as a warning to anyone who might consider carrying out a similar act.
Well said, William. Justice demands protection of the weak and punishment of the strong who harm them.
How hollow it would be to simply forgive and forget those responsible who intentionally inflicted lifelong injuries and/or even lethal wounds in others which in may never fully heal. We have a duty to teach future generations what Justice is and how it’s fairly applied to all.
Dr. Breggin was a very unsatisfacory conversation partner, in my opinion. He really hasn’t thought about this as carefully as you have, Naomi.
I think the same. He was resisting some of her key points. She might be right but, the system is not willing to investigate these crimes.
