Cancel culture isn't just a moral panic: it erodes our ability to argue productively, listen generously and to be civil when we disagree. Whether on university campuses, in the workplace or on social media, it is a dysfunctional part of how individuals battle for power, status, and dominance. It's just one symptom of a much larger problem: why bother refuting your opponents, when you can just take away their platform or career? In this book, Lukianoff and Shlott analyze the pervasive effects of cancel culture and present a much-needed antidote for our dangerous and divisive times.

What if everything you believe about history was planted in your head — on purpose? You weren’t educated. You were programmed. In just three generations, facts become fiction, villains wear crowns, and genocides get rebranded as national holidays. The 3 Generation Lie doesn’t gently open your eyes — it rips the blindfold off and asks: Whose truth are you living in? From classroom propaganda to media manipulation, from burned books to digital edits, Heinrich Wilson delivers a brutal exposé on how history gets rewritten — and how you never even noticed. This isn’t a conspiracy theory.

This book is about the abuse of words to attack someone’s character and delegitimize their opinion or ideas. It’s about how narcissistic people control and manipulate everyone around them, even the citizens of an entire nation. Just whisper a phrase from a long list of so-called conspiracy theories, and watch how the vast majority of Americans within earshot are triggered and immediately attack your character. They typically refuse to humbly and intelligently discuss the facts, and they aggressively come at you with the passion of someone whose most sacred beliefs have been assaulted. ...

Freedom of speech. It is our most cherished privilege as Americans, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution since 1791. But our current presidential administration threatens to sharply curtail or silence altogether the freedom of expression that distinguishes America from the...

Political Prisoners of Venezuela's dictator Nicolas Maduro is much more than a book: it is a harrowing and essential testimony about contemporary Venezuela, written with the precision and courage of journalist Rodulfo González. Its pages intertwine the stark reality with the power of denunciation, offering the reader a journey through the regime's prisons, the imposed silences, and the voices that refuse to be silenced.

WikiLeaks, a platform for disclosing information, has managed to produce more scoops in the last three years than the Washington Post has in the last 30: the gruesome video of Iraqi civilians and journalists being murdered by members of the US military; the true circumstances surrounding the bombing of two hijacked petrol-tankers in Kunduz, Afghanistan; the plundering of the Icelandic bank Kaupthing; the planning documents for the Duisburg Love Parade, and many more.

Hoy en día las redes sociales son mucho más que simples herramientas de entretenimiento, información y socialización: una parte de nuestras vidas transcurre dentro de ellas.

Congress and the Constitution are under attack all around the world. Muzzled and muffled are the voices of virtue and reason under a medical face mask. All that remains is confusion, chaos, and COVID.

Judith Sevinç Basad empört sich - und stemmt sich vehement gegen die sich aufgeklärt wähnende Meinungsmache, gegen Denkverbote und Unschärfen in den Argumenten einer selbsternannten kulturellen Elite. Ist es denn, genau betrachtet, wirklich so, dass die "Privilegierten" den sozialen Aufstieg von Migrantenkindern verhindern? Kann nur eine Frau wissen, wie man Politik für Frauen macht? Ist "MeToo" eine durchgängig lautere Bewegung? Ist es im Kampf gegen Rassismus mit der Entmachtung des "alten weißen Mannes" getan?

Die Meinungsfreiheit ist für eine freiheitliche Demokratie konstituierend. In Deutschland ist sie deshalb verfassungsrechtlich besonders geschützt. Trotzdem haben mehr als zwei Drittel der Deutschen das Gefühl, sie könnten ihre Meinung nicht frei äußern. Wie kommt das? Wolfgang Kubicki widmet sich der Frage, welche Fehler in Politik, Medien und Gesellschaft gemacht wurden, die zu diesem Vertrauensverlust führten und zeigt, wie wir zu einer neuen Diskurskultur finden.

Was als linke Identitätspolitik einst progressiv gedacht war, hat längst die Schwelle zu einer militanten Ideologie überschritten, analysiert die Psychologin Esther Bockwyt. Auf Basis einer pauschalen Einteilung von Menschen in Opfergruppen und Privilegierte wird abgeleitet, wer was wann sagen oder tun darf. So kritisch wie ausgewogen und vor allem fernab der schrillen Tonlagen des Feuilletons erfasst Bockwyt das Thema Wokeness erstmals aus psychologischer Perspektive und fragt: Wie ist eine "woke Psyche" verfasst, wenn Narzissmus, Gewissenhaftigkeit oder Aggression ein gesundes Maß überschreiten?

Cross delivers a powerful and unflinching narrative that blends investigative depth with philosophical urgency, revealing how today’s innovators, thinkers, and dreamers are trapped within invisible cages of algorithms, contracts, and corporate control. This is not just a book about technology. It is a manifesto for sovereignty in the digital age. Through the parable of the golden goose, Cross illustrates how ...

In 1975, the school board members of a small Long Island town did what they thought was a no-brainer: they ordered the removal of nine books from a high school library. The books included some classics – Richard Wright's Black Boy; Desmond Morris's The Naked Ape; Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five – but that didn't matter to board chair Richard Ahrens, who called the collection "anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic, and just plain filthy." Maybe he thought the town was with him.

What happens when our freedoms begin to disappear? What are the end results of the Patriot Act, the John Werner Defense Authorization Act, the countless databases, spying on American citizens? Why is nothing truly done with revelations such as Snowdens? What happens when an innocent American family living in a small town, Petoskey, Michigan, becomes a target of the federal government? Where can all of these databases lead to? Who are those on the terrorist watchlists? This is our story of how our family became targeted by the federal government and we had to flee for our lives. Unknown to ...

Guardrails starts with False Prophets, a short treatise explains how conspiracy theories are used to reinforce the big deceptions. It describes how free-thinkers are routinely brought back into the paddock. Many well-intentioned truthers have unwittingly helped to bury the very truth. And just what is the truth buried by the conspiracy theories? Simple. The truth is, the media is not reporting factual events to inform you; they are reporting stories to conform you.
