Psychology does like to invent diagnoses and new meanings for "aberrant" behaviors, all part of their way of training us to accept them as our new secular priestly caste.
They are very successful at this, they have given us new ways of describing and looking at ourselves in order to make their life easier. If we talk their language the less work they have to do to "treat" us for conditions they have invented.
I lasted five minutes. The video maker frames the issue as some kind of mental situation. The mention of "people embracing totalitarianism in the 20th century" really chapped my glutes. In Russia and the Slavic and Baltic states, governments were taken over by people with automated, vicious programs of torture and genocide...who represented THEMSELVES as the victims. And still do.
Anyone who expects me to believe that the gulag was a "psychological state" can leave and come back never. The truth isn't that "oh you poor babies, you haven't read/practiced Jung." The truth is that the ability to wreak havoc on others is the raison d'etre of a certain kind of person. THEY are the psychos, not the people who suffer under their torments and go crazy as a result. The past century-plus--since the lords of banking drove the world into WW1--has been a Death March of the global psychos. Who, it seems, have family, cult, organization, and historic roots in psychotic events long past.
There are mostly 3 types of them. The ones who want power over helpless people, the ones who seek the maintenance and upkeep of social status and the ones who need to make themselves feel adequate.

Absolutely this.
