Makes sense. Uncle Karl is usually trendy with young adults, but its reaching the post-WTC Attacks era in the early-mid 2000s again, so there’s a lot of media outlets jumping on with “10 things” and “All you need to know” articles.

It’s funny. My father remembers the same thing during periods in the 70s and 80s where everyone was reading Communist Manifesto, Atlas Shrugged, Animal Farm, The State of Revolution, etc. Seems to be when a young generation somewhere are unhappy with the way things are going and looking for alternatives. It’s excellent because it breaks the mould and reminds people that they have power and can influence change, liberty, and direction. It encourages people to consider things they did not know were options.
