COVID ushered in “mass psychosis” where rationality, critical thinking and skepticism flew out the window. As a result of anxiety, loneliness and isolation among the population, COVID arrived to “infect” the masses with a collective hypnosis where the dominant narrative could not be questioned

I think it's only seen as psychosis because it spiraled out of control. It seems most people are operating in this hivemind mentality always, with or without catastrophes and/or government control. The intelligence agencies probably know this since around WW2. It's just a sad fact most people are zombies and just follow the herd.

Critical thinking was and is demonized as "dangerous misinformation" when the critical thinker dares to speak up.

I'm in line with proc0 and x0x7. Covid didn't usher this in. Transgenderism was already firmly entrenched pre-Covid, with the concept that men ARE women if they just want to be already firmly established on the left. That is a counterfactual philosophy, representing psychotic thinking.

Covid accelerated these trends without a doubt and put them into overdrive, but the nucleus of the psychosis pre-dates it. Essentially, when the powerful decided to censor free speech rather than to give up power (2012 NDAA legalizing CIA running psyops within the US was a pretty major turning point), we were guaranteed to end up where we are. Covid was the explosive growth phase - which is important and shouldn't be ignored - but it was certainly not the beginning of this societal mental illness.
