Mass Psychosis and the World
The social transformation that unfolds under totalitarianism is built upon, and sustained by, delusions.
The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.” (Gustav Le Bon)
When a mass psychosis occurs the results are devastating. Jung studied this phenomenon and wrote that the individuals who make up the infected society “become morally and spiritually inferior” they “sink unconsciously to an inferior…intellectual level” they become“more unreasonable, irresponsible, emotional, erratic, and unreliable,” and worst of all “Crimes the individual alone could never stand are freely committed by the group [smitten by madness].”
What makes matters worse is that those suffering from a mass psychosis are unaware of what is occurring.
For just as an individual gone mad cannot step out of his mind to observe the errors in his ways, so too there is no Archimedean point from which those living through a mass psychosis can observe their collective
So what's the result of progressives tearing down the nuclear family? Well, Just The News recently noted:
First, the US has the highest rate of single-parent households in the world. Second, the connection between single-parent households and crime is very strong. According to research carried out by Jerrod Brown, a behavioral specialist at Concordia St. Paul, the extant literature "suggests that children raised in single-parent households experience more physical and psychological problems compared to those raised in two-parent households." Moreover, he added, the "implications of homes in which fathers are absent may be important to explore for criminal justice and mental health professionals."
The destruction of the family unit by radical progressives has created a generation of lawless youth that has been on full display this year in crime-ridden Baltimore City, Washington, DC, and other liberal metro areas where disastrous social justice reforms have been pushed through.
The latest sign of lawless youth was Christmas Eve in Oakland, California, where instead of bonding with family and exchanging gifts in 'Secret Santa' - they were rioting on the streets.

DISCLAIMER: The Journal of Lingering Sanity, still published from Old Gold Mountain (Chinese: 旧金山 is a reader-supported publication. We are beholden to truth not party. “The time has come," the Journal said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax— Of cabbages—and kings— And why the sea is boiling hot— And whether pigs have wings."
I recently listened to a Catholic priest’s speaking ( a podcast from Covid era lockdowns) about the role of fathers. I was struck by a statistic he quoted regarding children in families with a father who is a faithful mass goer, faithful Christian being more likely to continue following his footsteps ( faith), and that children of mothers ( sole parent - father is not absent, but not faithful christians) who are faithful Christians, are less likely to continue practicing their faith. It struck a chord.
In the black communities, the Baptist churches were once powerful. The preachers preached against freemasonry, out of wedlock liaisons, abortion, Planned Parenthood etc. Planned Parenthood had a hard time getting into those communities & indoctrinating women ( although there were out of wedlock children, abortion was not the norm).
But eventually, those churches became socialist/communist/‘humanist’ institutions rather than religious. And all the social ills were helped/created by a rain of drugs, etc. Grandparents stepped in to the role of parents ( thank God!).
I remember as late as the 80’s being impressed by the upright and solid ( black) grandparents at little league games. Grandfathers wearing very proper dress; blazers, and hats. Women in their finery going into their churches.
I think we have contributed to the downfall of society, by ignoring this threat, especially to those hovering at the bottom. ( thank you, LBJ, and co.) There are so many good hardworking black people; professionals, etc, who are not like the people taking to the streets.
But ‘we’ have allowed a scourge to be wrought upon them - the music industry, drug industry, etc. have all contributed. The advances in corporate culture ( advertising etc.) rolls like a steamroller crushing anyone in their path. Vigilance in parenting has fallen by the wayside through media now seems to be the pulpit for social engineering to take out fathers, the family unit, and to put greed, and an insatiable and unsavory appetite for everything that will wipe out the soul, and humanity.
Schools preach social ‘values’ - you know all the isms, rather than educating children. This seeps into all families one way or the other through a type of osmosis - all around us gathers the darkness.
We have to fight this attack on families. We have to get back on a path of moral, ethical, natural laws. We can’t do it if we turn a blind eye to ‘the others’. We are all one. What we allow to happen to the least, to the most vulnerable will be on our consciences. We must reach out to individuals that cross our paths with goodwill. Encouragement. A good word.
So there's some sense in calling our corner of Substack part of a "truther" movement.
I don't like the label though, do you?.
Is it just the COVID scam that many refuse to realise or is it a mentality that they have always had but wasn't noticed.
Beauty has also been downgraded. Ugly is the new beauty.
Not wanting truth is not valuing honesty so dishonesty and crime logically follow.
Can't see how rioters can be stopped now when looting starts at the top.
