>Those who clamor loudest for freedom are often the ones least likely to be happy in a free society. The frustrated, oppressed by their shortcomings, blame their failure on existing restraints. Actually their innermost desire is for an end to the “free for all.” They want to eliminate free competition and the ruthless testing to which the individual is continually subjected in a free society.
t. Eric Hoffer, "The True Believer"

How true is this statement, historically?

>he just doubles down on the "dude you're insecure" explanation

Yes

Because that's why ISIS is chopping off people's heads, blowing themselves up, and destroying everything they consider idolatrous and pre-islamic

Because they're "just insecure"

Yes

ISIS doesn't advocate a free society though. They want a caliphate with society controlled by their specific interpretation of Sharia law

You're taking it out of context, presumably to troll.

The book is about authoritarian/fascist governments and the systems that produce them. It's talking about the sort of person 'clamoring for freedom' from DA JOOZ.

The book is about mass movements and the motivations of their fanatical followers in general, including social, national, and religious movements. You're the one misrepresenting Hoffer's arguments.
