somewhere in the last chapter he did finally reference Hegel directly, I know you were all dying to know

“The Psychology of Nazism,” terrifyingly familiar. You could rename this chapter “The Psychology of MAGA” and it’d shed none of it’s accuracy. From monopoly titans’ vested interest in bringing them to power (“w/o their support H. would never have won”), to the failure of progressives, the disenfranchised lower middle class and their conflation of social inferiority with national inferiority.

If he uses another Hegelian term without referencing Hegel I am summoning the dead

Starting to feel classist. But let’s see where he goes with this. Very interesting to learn more in depth about the cultural shift caused by the Reformation—ushered in by psychological need, and just the simple but sensible concept of social shifts occurring because of individual psychological needs!
