The last chapter did a great job at reminding me the world is not really better as it was, and that we continue to make the same stupid mistakes. It felt like a slap on the face after reading 300 pages making light of humanity's dumbest ideas, but it was a much needed and appreciated one. Reading about dictators from a "what an idiot" perspective is fun, until you realize the people in power nowadays are basically the same (two weeks after Trump taking office it hit especially hard). It's good to be reminded how much damage someone can do, even if they are funny, likeable (by some) or just stupid.
