This resonates. Iโ€™ve read this book back in 2022 (in Dutch) and blogged about it (in Dutch too) https://fountain.fm/clip/yI9GFN6dAKObI6n4N4d7how we are preventing ourselves to become such a society https://sebastix.nl/blog/hoe-wij-onszelf-afwenden-van-een-totalitaire-maatschappij/

Scaredness trigger a search to safety, often "given" by a leader with answers. Too bad those answers are often just to lure them in. Power leads to corruption, great power lead to great corruption

Hey! Which book is this in English? My Dutch is not great

The Psychology of Totalitarianism of Mattias Desmet. Sorry that was not obvious, I clipped an audio part of the podcast (in in nostr:npub1v5ufyh4lkeslgxxcclg8f0hzazhaw7rsrhvfquxzm2fk64c72hps45n0v5) with you and nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u =)

Got it now, thx :)

Yes I love Desmetโ€ฆ!

His story, his vision and the way how he shows to speak out was a game-changer for me during the C19 period. Changing from negative to positive. Not sure what he is doing these days (still lecturing and giving talks?), so Iโ€™m very curious what is coming up from your side with him ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

Yes heโ€™s still giving talks and also working on a new book about propaganda. If you want to see him live and happy to travel - DM me.
