This critique of the new political right and left – the frogs and snowflakes – applies René Girard's ideas on mimetic desire and explores the social consequences of it becoming unhinged: rivalry, obsession, the "black pill," and the recession of the sacred, or what they used to call the "death of God." A remedy is proposed in the end.

Discover countless insights on what's making the frogs gay, why a lot of philosophy is sadomasochism, why homosexuality is a humiliation fetish, why paganism is not a good eugenics program, and how Christianity rises above all these things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Was sent a free advance copy by the author
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2024
I was sent a free copy by the author. This book is phenomenal. If you’re a fan of the work of Rene Girard, Boreas’ writing here is a natural extension of that work applied to modern day phenomenon. I finished the book in about three sittings. They cover a lot of ground here; I could not recommend enough. Thank you for the free copy, George!
