There are a lot of nuances that some may not be fully appreciating.

I'd like to add that there is mass induced psychosis (my term) and lifelong indoctrination which creates much of the death cult compliance.

French philosopher and self avowed Marxist Louis Althusser touched upon this in his seminal essay Ideological State Apparatus.

Mass induced psychosis is as real as it is deliberate and it is all pervasive via media, BigTech, and various other State propaganda nodes.

We see the work of Leni Riefenstah and how she mass induced hatred through her powerful films, or Joseph Goebbels and his ministry of propaganda. If mass induced psychosis did not work, then our enemies would not be actively deploying it against us 24/7/365.

Mass induced psychosis puts the blame squarely on TPTB and is wholly inorganic whereas Desmet claims that his mass formation IS organic and not centrally planned. And this is the crux of the matter.

I hope that helps.
