A road map to resistance in the Trump era from internationally acclaimed journalist, activist, and bestselling author Naomi Klein. The election of Donald Trump is a dangerous escalation in a world of cascading crises. Trump's vision-a radical deregulation of the U.S. economy in the interest of corporations, an all-out war on 'radical Islamic terrorism,' and sweeping aside climate science to unleash a domestic fossil fuel frenzy-will generate wave after wave of crises and shocks, to the economy, to national security, to the environment. In No Is Not Enough, Naomi Klein explains that Trump, extreme as he is, is not an aberration but a logical extension of the worst and most dangerous trends of the past half-century. In exposing the malignant forces behind Trump's rise, she puts forward a bold vision for a mass movement to counter rising militarism, racism, and corporatism in the United States and around the world.… (mais)

You know what? I fucking loved this. I've read a few non-fictions recently and what I liked about this one is that it take a fucking stance. The other books weren't meant to do that, I get it, but it was nice to read something where someone had an opinion. Especially one that I agreed with.

It also was written in a way where you actually understood what Naomi Klein is talking about, with good examples of everything. It's not written in that pretentious and overly academic way some discourse is now, where you know people are trying to excluse anyone who doesn't have time to spend twenty minutes deconstructing every sentence, but it also doesn't dumb things down. Just well-written discourse.

But of course it's getting five stars because the over-all message, which is in the title, is that no is not enough, we gotta say yes as well. I've become allergic to kind of discourse that is rampant now, where EVERYTHING is bad and problematic and nothing is good enough. No one can do everything so no one should do anything, et c. It's toxic, it's everywhere (at least online) and the only thing it will ever result in is nothing happening ever.

This book had opinions on how to make things better and honestly I'm here for it. Could write more but I'm gonna go see what I can do to make the world a little better. ( )

This is my second review of this book. In my first review I got a little caught up in her heady negativity—she is very smart, so she can see all these things wrong with the world and get infected by negativity—but I don’t want to snarl. Yes, she snarls, and, to be fair, at everyone. Twitter’s too chatty, and rich people have too much money; everybody’s bad! And the world is evil. We want to cut down all the trees so that there can be more people to get insulted (and die). But cut people a break. As evil as humanity usually is, we don’t all act the same, and not everyone formally and publicly avers Mexicans to be rapists, so cut people a break. Just cut them a deal, right.

But I would like to know more about climate change and the destruction of both the natural environment and Native cultures.

I liked Klein's perspective but a part of me missed referencing and a more academic feel. Definitely worth a read if you are concerned for the impact Trump and his ilk are having on our world. 3 and a half stars. ( )

Rating of 4.95. A to-the-point description of the Problem America elected into office. ( )

With the next presidential election approaching, I figured it was time to read this before it (hopefully?) becomes irrelevant. Parts of this book, such as the author's insights into how brands like Trump are structured, are insightful and information I've not encountered elsewhere. Climate change, and how it intersects with other social justice movements, are clearly where the author's passions lay and make for the overriding theme of this book. Admittedly, this book was written over two years ago now, but the concluding optimism feels a little too far-fetched for the current state of affairs. I'm glad I read this one, but considering how much has changed since its publication, I'm not certain how useful this book is for understanding and evaluating current politics. ( )

… The two trends – the decline of communal institutions and the expansion of corporate brands in our culture – have had an inverse, seesaw-like relationship to one another over the decades; as the influence of those institutions that provided us with that essential sense of belonging went down, the power of commercial brands went up.

It means that, while our branded world can exploit the unmet need to be part of something larger than ourselves, it can’t fill it in any sustained way: you make a purchase to be part of a tribe, a big idea, a revolution, and it feels good for a moment, but the satisfaction wears off almost before you’ve thrown out the packaging for that new pair of sneakers, that latest model iPhone , or whatever the surrogate is. Then you have to find a way to fill the void again. It’s the perfect formula for endless consumption and perpetual self-commodification through social media, and it’s a disaster for the planet, which cannot sustain these levels of consumption. …
(while we’re at it, we might even spend less time producing and editing our personal brands on social media)
How it could get worse:
… some kind of democracy-avoidance strategy is needed, because many neoliberal policies are so unpopular that people reliably reject them both at the polls and in the streets. With good reason: as the tremendous hoarding (and hiding) of vast sums of wealth by a small and unaccountable global class of virtual oligarchs makes clear, those who benefit most from these radical social restructurings are a small minority, while the majority see their standard of living stagnate or slip, even in periods of rapid economic growth. Which is why, for those who are determined to push through these policies, majority rule and democratic freedoms aren’t a friend – they are a hindrance and a threat.
