A short series with six thirty minute episodes where Peter Dinklage sardonically describes the process by reciting from a fictional "playbook" which is loosely based on "How To Become A Dictator"

I thought the series was well done and describes in simple terms the process of becoming a tyrant. While I had already heard much of this from other sources over the years there was some new information I had not heard before.

Reading your description, I thought of this -- among the most chilling 18 minutes I've ever seen:

based on "The Dictator's Handbook", per the YouTube description.

I saw that several years ago, it covers much of the same ground. I have subscribed to CGP Grey for years and have watched almost all of his videos.

I started watching this last night, got through 3 episodes so far. It covers a lot of the same things as The Dictators Playbook that was shown on PBS over the last couple of years. Dinkledge seems to narrated it a bit lighthearted, but that's fine. The point comes across. It's situations that brought these people to power and the tactics they used to get and stay there seem to be creeping into our country sadly.
