Ok, this book is dark. But maybe something we all need to read.
Because its core claim is that there is a vulnerability that is exposed in a society when tragedy/disaster strikes, and that some groups might take advantage of such a situation to further their own aims. And it shows how this has been done time after time. Where the group waiting in the wings in the book were capitalism fundamentalists ready to support brutal dictatorships to further their grand plan.
Maybe this particular group is not the one we might see, but I’m sure we all know of groups in our respective countries that would jump at the opportunity to seize power and subjugate the population for money, religion and/or hate.
The reason why we maybe should read it is that we are on the cusp of a series of local and global disasters, even if we ignore the current wars, sitting on a runaway train straight for a climate catastrophe. And maybe if we are prepared we might recognize it when our fear is used against us.
