Combating a dangerous double requires impersonating it rather than keeping distance

Evidence

Though originally released in 1940, Chaplin’s message felt as relevant as ever: When faced with a double threatening to engulf you and your world (or an army of them), distance offers no protection. Far better to radically upend the table and become, in some sense, their impersonator, their shadow. — Naomi Klein, Doppelganger, 227

Categorization

• DEFINE: States the exact logic of the doubling-as-instrument device in aphoristic form — the core of the book’s method.
• QUESTION: Key test for the reader: does this radical-impersonation justification survive into the Israel/Palestine chapters?
