The Highwire (2022.06.17) Mattias Desmet & The Psychology of Totalitarianism

Essentially - lonely people are looking for a connection, but instead of connecting with other people, they connect with a cause that they feel connects them to other people.

The good news is that these groups always self-destruct. They become aggressive when opposing voices become silent, so it is vital that people continue to speak up.

There's a 3-minute vox-pop at the end showing mass formation in action.
