This is a difficult title to review Mark Milke doesn t approach the subject from a neutral standpoint He frames collectivism and left wing figures in exclusively negative light and are ultimately responsible for what he calls the victim cult That said his definition of this term is one where a group uses past injustices as central to their identity and therefore unable to move forward until present authorities provide a form of compensation is a reality Examples of groups ranging from Palestinians to Indigenous populations to the Japanese are assessed in both historical and present day contexts How each group endured injustice and moved on or is struggling to do so is assessed Typical of many conservatives British imperialism is shown in a positive light while current institutions such as academia are cast and the largest incubators of victim cults In other words the ends justified the means and pesky centers of learning undermine the grand noble narrative of Western history This dampens the value of his controversial yet valid argument that today s world can t possibly compensate or bare the guilt of crimes past The book is worth a read for brave liberals but in these polarized times this book delivers Non fiction books have one constant facts and lots of them Their purpose is to cause one to reflect to get clarity and to develop a better understanding of things we think we know but really do not Kindle Edition
