Like Soviet Formalism, you weren't wrong, but you weren't right in the correct way, the way academicians and (so-called) intellectuals prefer. I believe the present day expression of this is that you said the quiet part out loud, worse, you put it in print! Glad you did, amazing book.

Dear Mattias. Your careful and illuminating analysis has shed an immensely revealing light on the psychological reasons for what has gone on for three years now. And almost every day we witness a confirmation of your conclusions, most often in the delusional banter or illogical behaviour of people who have clearly lost their mind and succumbed to the extreme fear and narrowing of focus you explain so well. Your theory was a revelation to me at the time, and I think I speak for many when I assert: Without Desmet so many would have fallen victims to the downward spiral of conspiracy theories. Those people fear you for your genius, they envy you for your integrity, therefore they attack you. Stay strong and fight back. It is the only way, and remember that in the end you will win!
