'The Brink' Review

(I posted this on iTunes(US) review section under an alias but it was too messy so here is an edited version.)

What Bannon, Trump & the far-right of the world keenly observe and understand, that the rest of us don't, is one of the fundamental truths that we are all "nationalists". I.e., "my country" is such a deep and integral part of what we perceive ourselves to be, that even the existence of such a notion in us often escapes and bypasses our surface-level mind and activities. (This point is laid out in detail in John Mearsheimer's 'The Tragedy of Great Power Politics' and 'The Great Delusion'.)
In this sense, Bannon & co. are only acting on behalf of our best interests, to the best of OUR knowledge of ourselves, regardless of our conscious approval or understanding. And it's only logical.
Until that someday, when the majority of us can see the fault in this understanding of ourselves and come to a new understanding that we're more than our physical bodies and more than any of the other "concepts" of ourselves(which is a tough challenge even for most of the most enlightened spiritual gurus), Bannon & co. will continue to wield their newly found weapon of insight as a tool of manipulation and continue making deep impacts around the world.
