Well, I think your thoughts on the dark side of human desire and how it relates to fiction are very close to my own. I don't think the article is even close to probing those questions. The article is just drawing a very lazy comparison but not digging any deeper than that, insinuating that there's something specifically about this kind of "return of the king"-narrative that can inspire something like ISIS. I think that's turning the cause and effect backwards, and it's shallow. It's the "dark side of the deep human desires" as you say that inspires these fictions, not vice versa.
