The Psychology of Totalitarianism

 

Book Review:

“This is the most important book of 2022.” Dr. Robert Malone

“Desmet shows us how to reclaim our humanity in an increasingly dehumanized and mechanized world.” Dr. Reiner Fuellmich

Hands down my favorite read for many years!! If you have been at all alarmed at the strange course of events over the past few ‘corona’ years, read this book. If the willing relinquishment globally of many of our most basic rights and freedoms has mystified you, read this book. If you have been confused at the avalanche of obvious lies and misinformation passed off as fact by scientists, politicians, and conspiracy theorists alike, read this book. If you’ve wondered why personal autonomy, honest questioning, and public debate have become  transgressions punishable by excommunication from general society, read this book. And if you ask yourself, “Are we finished with the crazy now that covid is done?”, well, again, read this book.

Desmet does an admirable job of explaining the source and workings of totalitarianism’s rise during the last century, following its origins back to the Enlightenment. But more than that, he shines a penetrating light on how that is working itself out globally in the present. Far from a doom-and-gloom book however, The Psychology of Totalitarianism offers hope for a more humble, humane, and truth-filled future. If this sounds good to you… read this book!!

Recommendation – if you want popcorn, read something else. If you want deep insight into our times, this is your jam.

Note - this is a Mature read.
