Maybe ideological subversion by Russia for the last 40 years?
Comment on We should rename Solar to Patriot Power to make it palatable to the right

It’s not just Russia. Governments propagandize their own, including Western ones. Recall Snowden, Assange, Manning, and with the help of “reputable” news. False flags. I think now we’re just to the point where any sane person doubts most of what they hear and should doubt most of what they see. But we crave order and cling to the narrative that seems to make the most sense to our own minds’ peculiarities. Some are certainly closer to true than others but there are a lot of politicians throwing rocks and hiding hands. As I said elsewhere: absolutely everything is based on money and appearances.

Did you end up finding evidence of mass psychosis actually happening?

Interesting you mentioned that. Salem witch trials, Jonestown, Raelians were mentioned. Not all victims of the inquisition/witch trials were, some were accused for vexing the wrong person. I can’t imagine some issue didn’t plague most suicide or even murder cults’ members. The perpetrators would seem to fit criteria for psychopaths.
