The only escape is death.

Read the Holy Bible, this was all predicted thousands of years ago.
Douglas Murray's corpus.
you think you live in clown world bc you mentally hemorrhaged yourself into a clown mindset
absolute troglodyte moronation
Unreal cope. Like scared little girls...
You are the clown, stop denying your existence.
Ernst Jünger was really interested in this, although his writing was more philosophical and less practical. If you want practical, his ultimate recommendation is basically just try to carve out a life for yourself that you can live with. Move to the country, work a traditional sort of job if you can, or take up something creative like art or writing and try to do that in a way that doesn’t get you hammered by clown world fascism. If sounds simple, but from a purely practical point of view that’s all you can do if you’re not going to take it on head on, which he rejected. By the end of the guy’s life he was seeking immersion in pure poetry, talking about his vocation as a writer, and saying his pole star was not this time or that time, but all-time. He lived in a modest house in a rural German village and he mostly kept to himself.

The world always has been a circus
Houllebecq's fiction, top to bottom.
Doubt it, but I've stopped reading him after The Map and the Territory. He's simply too much of a provocateur to be taken seriously, even though he's right here and there. I'm also unaware of any solutions he proposes.
Just read Marxist philosophers
Don't do that. They're silly.
I have the same interest, and frankly, I don't think there's a book out there which covers all the causes, let alone the solution. The work of Peter Turchin covers the socio-economic causes - basically the eventual emergence of oligarchies in societies without external stressors. This phenomenon is omnipresent throughout history and leads to civil war if radical reforms aren't enacted. The US has been on this path since the '70s. However, Turchin seems too focused on the socio-economic, and there must also be technological and cultural factors at play.
Culturally, I think that anti-realist philosophies ("postmodernism", "cultural marxism", "relativism", etc.) have been immensely influential since the '60s and their effects were probably further amplified by the internets. Fear of Knowledge is a book that deals with this to some extent, and it's a good book, but I think it only scrapes the surface. I'm unaware of any books that analyse this phenomenon in depth, and the attempts I've seem from the Right are moronic. Russia certainly plays a role with its troll farms, but we will probably never know to what extent. Nevertheless, anti-realism has been at the core of Russia propaganda.

If this appeals to you, you're part of the problem.
