Mattias Desmet's Book Banned by Ghent University
We are entering an era of book burning once again
The analysis of the Covid situation, offered by Dr. Mattias Desmet, in The Psychology of Totalitarianism has shed a clearer light on what has been going on during the past three years than any other attempt at explaining this situation. In short, Desmet explains how a population can fall prey to an extreme narrowing of focus induced by mass-hypnosis.
Desmet has been vehemently attacked by conspiracy theorists accusing him of being “controlled oppositon”. He has been attacked by critics, and of course “fact-checkers”, following the mainstream narrative. Both sides deploy the same tactics, sometimes grounded in stupidity; they do not understand his hypotheses, sometimes in dishonesty; they go to any lengths, including outright lies, to smear him.
The latest attack, the banning of his book by Ghent University, based on such baseless accusations, brings this to a new and vastly more serious level. Today, Desmet published the first part of his defense. I’m linking to Desmet’s Substack article on this below.
Mattias Desmet's Book Banned by Ghent University
Unbelievable to me that this can happen in light of EVERYTHING coming out now about all of it. I know I shouldn’t be unbelieving about anything now, but sometimes I still am. With every new revelation - admissions, peer reviewed literature, governments & “public health” officials & entities reversing course, all sorts of young people dropping dead very unexpectedly & in growing numbers - I keep thinking this will be the straw that finally breaks the camel’s back & IT DOESN’T HAPPEN. In fact, in many corners, they quadruple down, they still flog “safe & effective” & continue to wheedle people to keep taking the jab. Where is the tipping point???
Brownshirtism is out of control these days. How can anyone think the West is made up of free democratic countries when you are not allowed to disagree with the elite narrative? The amount of taboo topics just keeps increasing. I do not see how we can toss stones about the evils of repressive China and Russia while living in our glass house.
