"When we lose our individual independence in the corporateness of a mass movement," Hoffer wrote, "we find a new freedom -- freedom to hate, bully, lie, torture, murder and betray without shame and remorse." Kind of sounds like America in 2021, doesn't it?

Or Nazi Germany in 1939.

Hoffer's book True Believer should be required reading in High School, especially if they don't teach 'Civics' any longer.
