"That’s bullshit being fed to us to get us to absolve the wrongdoers almost"

Only that that's a strawman that's peddled by people who actually want to confuse.

Mass formation never was about absolving anyone, neither explicitly nor implicitly, it's an attempt of explaining the machnisms of crowd psychology - not even a new concept (see Gustave le Bon)

Let me add that, even if that model would "absolve wrongdoers" - even that wouldn't make it automatically wrong.

Look up "argument from consequences" logical fallacy. Your lust for payback doesn't negate reality if in the way. That's the "logic" of evil itself.

His essay on the “evil of banality” and suggestion that he knows these alleged “wrongdoers” and that they are just stupid ignorant dumb bureaucrats (you know, his former peers that he inherently saying that he is smarter than) who have led us unknowingly down the wrong path.

He wants it both ways....we are fighting for our freedoms from some sinister unseen opponent who knows no bounds and well, it is just the agencies that are layered over to the point they know not what they do.

Sorry, can’t have it both ways. Was there intent to harm or not along the way? Was there knowing disregard for the truth that cost millions? And why? Not buying the negligence theory. We are dealing with intent or knowing disregard/recklessness that rises to the level of intent. The violation of rights was from the start against science....can’t explain it away on a global scale. Unless Mattias wants to talk about the governments suffering from mass formation psychosis in their strange global lockstep governance.
