Do you feel out of place in a world that is becoming increasingly stranger by the day? Are you suffering from anxiety, or are you in the middle of an existential crisis? Maybe it's time to embrace your darkest feelings and let your inner radical self shine. So You Want To Be An Extremist will enable you to become a professional grifter, paving the way for your "deranged enlightenment." Author C.T. Jackson offers you all the tools you need to tear down the false walls of reality, capitalize on your newfound pseudo-intellectual personality, and begin the exploitation of social, political, and environmental crises. From the revelatory words of Marjorie Taylor Greene to the sage-like wisdom of Joe Rogan, you will find many prophets to guide you in your war against intellectualism.

Immerse yourself in some of the most well-known conspiracy theories, remove the barriers of critical thinking to acquire higher intelligence, and attain delusions of grandeur to become a full-blown populist conspiracy nut with So You Want To Be An Extremist. Funny, cautionary, and tragic in equal measure, this book couldn't be more relevant than the era we live in today. Using satire and droll humor, author C.T. Jackson presents a sharp critique of the conspiracy theory-driven populist influencers who seem to sway the masses according to their whims nowadays. From Steve Bannon to MTG to Kanye West, the book delves into the notoriety of these "transcendent arbiters of truth" and their relentless work to bring society down to their level. Although I enjoyed the book, it's becoming increasingly difficult to differentiate between satire and reality these days. Having said that, this is a hilarious book that I heartily recommend to everyone.
