Are we watching a genuine revival—or a carefully engineered spectacle? In this episode of the Matt Kim podcast, Matt and co-host Peter Saddington dive deep into the concept of mass formation psychosis and how it impacts society's perception of recent events. They discuss the political and emotional manipulation surrounding Charlie Kirk's memorial service, questioning the involvement of influential figures and the ultimate beneficiaries of such events. Throughout the episode, they also touch on the importance of critical thinking, the role of the government, and the power dynamics affecting today's political and social landscape.Brought to you by vp.net — the VPN that’s technically incapable of spying on you (no logs by design).What we cover: • The optics of interfaith “unity” and political branding • AI avatars, memetic framing, and narrative laundering • How spectacles mobilize crowds (and who benefits) • Revival vs. recruitment: why real change takes work • Practical defenses: disciplined skepticism, source triangulation, communityTIMESTAMPS00:00 Introduction02:35 Memorial Service Observations04:45 Interfaith Ceremonies and Religious Views16:39 Mass Formation Psychosis and Media Manipulation26:58 Government Involvement and Public Perception34:07 Churches and Political Influence35:27 Critique of American Christians38:33 Drone Strikes and American Hypocrisy43:18 Government Corruption and Accountability55:16 Political Manipulation of Faith01:05:37 Critical Thinking in a Manipulated WorldKeywords: mass formation psychosis, manufactured consent, narrative control, media manipulation, political spectacle, AI propaganda, interfaith optics, revival, free speech, censorship, Matt Kim Podcast, Peter Saddington, timeline shift, crowd psychology, dissident media====================================Support the show~Join the Free Thinker Army!https://www.patreon.com/c/freemattkim====================================The ONLY VPN that can't spy on you.https://vp.netHang out here~!soj.ooO https://soj.ooo/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4rC0QxBD1eRPKMHIIpL0vA/joinDonate!https://www.mattkimpodcast.com/support/FREE THINKER ARMY DISCORD:https://discord.gg/2juHnR6DPzTELEGRAM EDIT ZONE:https://t.me/+IV-skn-OXyw1MTcxFollow Matt!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattattack009/Twitter: https://twitter.com/FreeMattKimRumble: https://rumble.com/c/FreeMattKimTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@freemattkimFollow Peter on X:Twitter: https://x.com/AgilePeterBusiness Inquiries Please Email mattkimpodcast@protonmail.com

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
