THE MEDIA IS THE REAL VIRUS

Use your f***ing brain! The media is the virus, wake up! This is the true definition of sheeple: This emotional-dogmatic mental disposition of the pseudoskeptic largely coincides with central characteristics that also characterize the psychological mass and that we encounter in the current corona crisis. As the previously mentioned French universal scholar Gustave Le Bon emphasized, "Thousands of separate individuals [...] can at the moment take on the characteristics of a psychological mass under the influence of certain violent emotions, such as a major national event," that is, they merge into one uniform mass soul, which forms "a single being". According to Le Bon, this psychological mass or community soul is characterized above all by the "inability to reason logically" and a "lack of judgment and critical mind". The main characteristics of the individual in such a mass include, in particular, the dissolution of the conscious personality, the orientation of the "feelings and thoughts of everyone [...] in the same direction" and the "tendency towards the immediate realization of the ideas that have been instilled".
