Desmet is very deceptive. Mass formation "groupthink" can happen in many ways-- such as during the Tulip Bubble. But that's a relatively innocent formation. What Desmet wants to argue is that basically all mass formations are of the same character as "the madness of crowds," however totalitarianism differs from these generic formations in that it involves deliberate and massive censorship and propaganda in order to silence all opposition narratives and opposition force. Desmet on the other hand argues strenuously that there is never a conspiracy to silence opposition that induces the mass formation in the first place. His view makes no sense at all and isn't supported by history.
RFK Jr has expressed opinions that tend toward censorship of 'anti-science' climate views. He has in fact advocated for jailing high-powered industry leaders who are opposed to the consensus reality.
I'd like him to come out and state clearly and distinctly what he thinks of climate science. We all know the answer to that already but he skirts around the truth.
