The events of 2016 - Brexit and Trump - broke the mould which shaped ideas of democracy, politics and social identity. In this book Gilad Atzmon argues that Left and Right have become indistinguishable and meaningless in the post-political universe in which we now live, and much of humanity has been reduced to serving the interests of big money and oligarchies. The freedom to think openly is now just a distant memory. Our Western liberal 'utopia' has turned into an Orwellian catastrophe, and the people are left bewildered and impoverished, and out in the cold. Being in Time is a courageous attempt to grasp the intellectual developments that led towards the current dystopia. The book delves into the bankruptcy of the ideological grand narratives. It explores the colossal failure of the media, academia and politics to detect and address the events that led us towards destitution. It identifies the ideologies that have planted Identitarian politics and the tyranny of political correctness in our midst. We, the people, have been demoted into mere audience in a Greek tragedy that happens to be the story of our own destruction. The time is ripe to understand it all.

Atzmon's book Being in Time is a brilliant and substantive critique of identity politics and Jewish political ideology and culture. It is an essential read for understanding and confronting authoritarianism of all stripes and colors;James Petras, Bartle emeritus professor, Binghamton University --.

very good but could be better

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

Atzmon has written another fine book. Loved the first half where he analyzes dialectical politics and roots out the hidden agenda behind alt-right icons, Breitbart and Milo. But as he shifts from political philosophy into cultural criticism, his laser sword seems to short circuit and Gilad loses control We're told Tarantino represents free-thinking, logos-driven Athens against Spielberg's law-obedient, politically-correct Jerusalem. Inglorious Basterds is touted as an example of essentialist nostalgia! WTF? Then there's a defense of Sarah Silverman's "I'd kill Christ again" rant, as if it's funny for a Jew to be so openly blasphemous in an age of liberal pc timidity. Does Atzmon just have bad taste in pop culture or is he promoting Zionism's attitude of brazen defiance as a necessary antidote to globalist cultural subservience? Seems to me courage not defiance is the necessary attitude when facing dragons.

This book is excellent. A must read for anyone who feels perplexed with the false dichotomy we call the "right" and the "left", but also dissects the "alt-right" and identity based politics of hard left liberalism.

Leaves you with an understanding of the hands you don't see in action, within the inner workings of our occupied Governments.

Deserves 10 stars.

What a mind-blower! Read this and you'll see examples at every turn... identity politics, victim politics... and how it's developed over the centuries showing us the direction it's headed in the future.

I think Atzmon missed the boat. A step further, would have taken him to greater enlightenment. Try first part of “The Great Depression of 1990” by Ravi Batra.

A bit pretentious

Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2020

Verified Purchase

As all antisemitic work is pretentious, this one is as well. But it gives us some insights that make sense if taken in isolation. Forget about the reason why it was written, and the book becomes bearable.

A Critique of the Jewish Ideology

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2017

Verified Purchase

An excellent critique of political correctness and identity politics, with an exposition of how the Jewish elite rules through the use of "controlled opposition." Required reading for self-defense in our post-political era when Left/Right politics is irrelevant. Buy the book before it is censored by Big Brother.

A Truly Remarkable Book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

What a remarkable and insightful book! I was going to post some quotes to illustrate how deep the thinking goes but, somewhat ironically, Elias Davidsson (below) has done that in an attempt of a negative review. For some odd reason this reviewer has attempted to use these quotes to try and discredit this book!? Read them and make your own mind up whether they discredit the author or convey very well his deep knowledge of "Jewish" power and thinking. I also read recently: The Controversy of Zion by Douglas Reed, another book I found very eye opening.

Reviewed in Canada on March 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

Gilad Atzmon talks about changes in our thinking and our political culture before most of us realise what's going on. He is my guide to laying out propaganda as miserable bits of lazy thinking that are repeated ad nauseam. Some of his conclusions are unnerving. Atzmon is authentic and does not cave in. Exciting reading.

Gilad knocks it out of the park again

Reviewed in Australia on January 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not afraid to slay sacred cows and go where others fear to tread, Gilad fearlessly deconstructs identity politics. My only gripe is that he could use a proof reader: for instance he sometimes writes "SLPC" instead of "SPLC" for Southern Poverty Law Centre; heck, maybe he even writes Southern Law Poverty Centre at one point. But these are just a couple of typos in what is an otherwise stunning book.
