Loading ...NEW THINKING ON MASS FORMATION
Much food for thought here !
The population led the government, not the other way around
One key implication of the crowd dynamic is that there is no single culprit, no head of the snake, no enemy that planned the covid saga ages ago. In crowds, both the population and its leaders get caught in the maelstrom of the adopted narrative, dragging them all into a wild ride that, unlike a ride in an amusement park, has no predictable pathway or ending. Yes, the elites take on the roles of jailers and autocrats, but these are roles demanded of them by their own populations. Should they refuse to play as requested, they would quickly be cast aside and replaced by others who are prepared to do the business. As Desmet points out, removing any part of the elites would have made no difference
………….
A telling example of this dynamic played out in London in March 2020. Rishi Sunak, the then UK Treasurer (now Prime Minister), recently reminded us of what happened in those days: the medical establishment and the politicians did in fact try to follow the received wisdom of 100 years of medical science and resisted locking down, but such was the uproar in the British population that the government caved in and instigated lockdowns anyway

I call BS on this theory. Was the clot shot really a “warp speed” phenomena? It was made long before covid was released. How does mass formation pre-invent a cure for a disease that doesn’t exist yet? I’m sure there are all kinds of “influencers” being paid to come up with story lines, memes as it were, to absolve the many institutions in our societies which were derelict or culpable. Let’s not go wobbly.
Brownstone getting kickbacks now, To drive the amnesty narrative.
The club is cornered, and needs a way out now.
Give them no quarter.
This is the worst post since those pro-Ukraine posts at the beginning of the Special Military Operation. Blaming the victim. Blaming the people. Of course it is the fault of the government who ordered the lockdowns and enforced the lockdowns.
“but such was the uproar in the British population that the government caved in and instigated lockdowns anyway”
Complete dogshit statement
The rats are cornered. And they are going to pay. No amnesty.
The Tentsters have spoken…Off with his head.
I have not heard of this guy before .
He did not state his credentials to be critiquing Mathias Desmet Though
But…Off with his head
ah here it is
Yikes
Paul Frijters, Senior Scholar at Brownstone Institute, is a Professor of Wellbeing Economics in the Department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics, UK. He specializes in applied micro-econometrics, including labor, happiness, and health economics
Like Spock said above, Brownstone is getting kickbacks now. I’m sure Paul Frijters either got threatened or got kickbacks or both, to produce this crap about not blaming the elite. They have been planning this for decades with all the research they were doing at all the medical labs to weaponize vaccines. Did the public want that done – I don’t think so. This article is full of crap. I 100% agree with Fully – off with their heads.
Agree … done.
“As Desmet points out, removing any part of the elites would have made no difference”
Disagree here also … but it might depend on HOW you decapitate the beast.
Otherwise, yes, meet the new boss same as the old boss.
Unfortunately, we’re at that point in history where implementing appropriate corrective measures to right the ship involves behavior on our part that is incompatible with our own values and personal histories. They have left us no choice, as JFK once warned.
