What causes mass hysteria and paranoia? I used to think that things like witch hunting were a symptome of low education, but nowadays i see even highly educated people who believe in shit like black helicopters, world control conspiracies, etc so it can't be that. It seems that human behavior is just naturally prone to unjustified irrational fears.

Are there any good books that cover psychology of the masses?

You are actually kind of right when you say low education, but not necessarily. The main contributor to hysteria is ignorance. By which I mean that people have an inclination to fear what they don't understand.

also, there really are some weird shit and deals and realpolitik that ARE done someties.

And our world leaders and their advisors(looking at you, Kissinger) doing supervillain tier creepy comments and actions sometimes(pic related) doesn't help.
