I just read this book, and am very glad to discover your video… I wish there was more accesible analysis/discussion about this. I wanted to add that I thought Gantry was a reactionary, an opportunist, highly suggestible…. AND a master of self-delusion and justification. Thanks again for posting your thoughts.
Can you please review 'Letters From The Earth', by Mark Twain?
I haven't read Mark Twain in a long while. Great idea!
Excellent. Thank you.
You are welcome!

you were building.

✔️ ding ding ding we have a winner! I just finished It Can’t Happen Here. Talk about reactionaries 😜 so many in that book!
It’s been on my TBR for quite some time. I need to read it. I also need to get to It Can’t Happen Here, although it is depressing as well.
Thanks for watching. It’s a really funny novel but it’s bleak how contemporary it is.
