What You'll Learn:
Pulitzer Prize winner and Academy Award nominee David Mamet is a prolific author, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, and film director. In this book, he strives to achieve clarity on several big societal questions, such as how we came to the place where the Left has taken over our schools, speech, and children, as well as how we’ve lost our ability to discuss differences of opinion.
Key Insights:
- The media has degenerated from a field of great repute to inciting fear and hate for those who disagree with the liberal masses.
- Without a reverence for what we have, and without consequences for our actions, we become complacent, subject to the bullies of our time.
- Liberalism promises community—at the cost of our loyalty, liberty, and children.
- Liberalism blames our history for America’s issues, and demands that we do as well.
- Controlling speech and renaming societal issues is the first step to transforming thought and outlawing freedom of speech.
- The Left uses racism and white guilt to polarize America.
- When encouraging hate wasn’t enough to silence the dissent, the Left turned to fear and panic.
