Once you know the truth it is impossible to go back. No matter how hard you try to forget it won't work. Hence we are winning, they are scared rich tiny little men who live in perpetual fear someone might take all their ill gotten gains away. I sleep like a log at night.

The Belgian psychologist Mattias Desmet has laid out a good description of the blind, unthinking adherence to nonsensical diktats. His theory of Mass Formation notes that people would rather be scared about something concrete than suffer from an anxiety for which there seems to be no specific cause, and when this object of anxiety (Covid) appears, they anchor their anxiety onto it with a fervour that is clinically psychotic.

We probably all know people who turned from rational individuals into raving lunatics because of Covid, prepared to jettison decades-old friendships if we do not share their psychosis.
