THE FANTASY CRISIS TRIAD WORLDWIDE

The last one hundred years have been the most murderous in the history of humanity. I mentioned the top three perpetrators in Chapter 1: Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. However, many lesser Wannabe Kings have still destroyed their countries and killed hundreds of thousands of their countrymen. Although Hitler is often thought of as an exception, many of his strategies of extreme lying and conning appear to be templates for Wannabe Kings up to the present.

Since the year 2000, we have seen several Wannabe Kings take power around the world, including in Russia, Hungary, the Philippines, Venezuela, and Italy, as I will discuss in this part. The list keeps growing, so these are only a sample. The United States also has a substantial history of all sizes of Wannabe Kings, so I have chosen the three most dramatic examples: McCarthy, Nixon, and Trump.

All of these personalities sought unlimited power and relied heavily on numerous Fantasy Crisis Triads with shocking success. We must learn this pattern or we will keep repeating it.
