Fantastic article.
I just finished it and highly recommend everyone read the whole thing.
It describes a kind of madness that we can easily identify in an individual (suicidal tendencies, megalomaniacal thinking, violent outbursts, self harm) but when it takes root in a collective group of people it’s harder to diagnose because the symptoms are literally all around us.
Glad you liked it! These are all very important points and seeing the parallels between the 2 situations is, in my opinion, very frightening. People shouldn’t shrug and dismiss what’s going on around us, saying “it could never happen here.” It is happening here.
