“People in the grip of this corona narrative couldn’t see that these measures would ruin their lives, the health of their children, the wealth of their children, and the future of their children,” Mattias Desmet says.

In a recent episode of EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders,” host Jan Jekielek discusses the new technocratic totalitarianism and a way of resistance with Desmet, professor of clinical psychology at Belgium’s Ghent University and author of “The Psychology of Totalitarianism.” Desmet is one of the world’s leading experts on the concept of mass formation.
