There is a literal madness of the crowd loose upon the world. A mass psychosis. The ability to think critically and rationally about the reality of the world has warped and twisted some because of the military grade fear porn peddled by the powerful to divide the working class and retain their status and privilege. When this particular psychosis ends there will be phrases said like "I didn't know" or "We did the best we could with what we knew at the time" to alleviate their guilt. I do not know why such a substantial portion of the population is not equipped to reject the fear and feels so righteous to force their faith based beliefs upon others. It informs us of something very dark and very deep about the human condition.
Yep. The amygdala is the central brain function that has been impacted. The “fear central” for the brain’s activity. Here's something I wrote before on this:
"The amygdala is a part of the brain located in the temporal lobe and responds to the nerve connections within the adrenaline signal (via the thalamus then adrenal glands located above the kidneys) to react. We can notice that our breathing and heart rate increase, as we unconsciously prepare the body to run away or fight. A manifestation of feeling this is fear. One study found the amygdala the “fear central” for the brain’s activity (Lazar et al. 2000).
The amygdala activates when we are experiencing fearful stimuli, such as when we encounter a person from a different culture in an unfamiliar, or a setting such as when walking along a dark sidewalk in a foreign city. Or when mass media traumatizes with graphics of death. And this is triggered when we think someone else might be infected, ie a 'virus vector' and other names for the other... A person who undergoes a traumatic experience (the residue of a past event left in the body's sensory experience) has that trauma lodged within the amygdala, either making it hypersensitive or completely numb. “When we believe we are threatened, we blame others because we fear a differing opinion or can’t bear to feel responsible for our issues. If we can cast fault on another, there is some temporary relief from fear. Blaming is the fight response. We project the cause of our suffering and demonize the other” (Spindler 2018, 19). "

It was deliberately done by shrinks who knew just which buttons to push.

It was us dissing them by calling them "shrinks" that made them angry.

I am in this space often. After you read it, can you let me know if it was a good read?
Google amygdala hijack. Reason has collapsed in the face of all-encompassing fear.
