So if you're like me, you probably have seen this book pop up in recommendations on apps like Instagram and TikTok. Because I've seen this so many times and I study/do research on tyranny, dictatorships, and uprisings, I decided to buy and read it. The thing is is that it's okay, but this is still an important read. While the content in this book is pretty basic, it's still important to read and reinforce within yourself the lessons that the author writes about. What I like specifically is that the author uses history from WW2 along with the first Trump administration to back up each lesson in the book. While I think it is very Western-focused, the author utilizes/references said history in an interesting way. 

Aside from my critique that this is pretty basic, I found it ironic and upsetting that the author used the g slur to reference the Romani people when talking about the people who were imprisoned and killed by the Nazis. I know that this is one small little thing, but use of such slur not only is harmful against people from that background, but also reinforces beliefs of people like Hitler and groups like the Nazis. It's just so ironic because the whole book is about things to do to fight tyranny and the author does/says something that tyrants would do. 

Other than that, this book was okay. Nothing necessarily profound, but I still argue that people should read this then continue on reading more while trying to connect with themselves and their community. It's times like these where we have to improve our mental/physical/emotional health, knowledge, and relationships with our families and communities so we can fight against facist administrations, and institutions. No one can do it alone so let's fight together.
