His favorite poem describes the thought process he follows when contemplating trends in Western culture: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeek truth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith reason your guide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour conscience\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efor no allegiance set aside\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter two decades in academia, Michael Schulte gathered first-hand experience with cancel culture, trigger warnings, wokeness, and the academic thought police. He's seen victimhood, kindness, and personal feelings consistently garner more consideration than values like courage, honor, personal agency, and the pursuit of excellence. In his eyes, this surprising resurgence of fascism is especially popular among Millennials and Generation Z. He writes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoffee shops filled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith caffeine and the Quiet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike Easter Island heads\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eliving non-meat diets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy, one could offend\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eor seem to defend\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoften your keystrokes, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edon't start a riot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormerly, this toxic indoctrination crumbled when graduates entered the 9 to 5 world of work; but such is no longer the case. A coalition of tyranny has blossomed, with academia, corporations, bureaucrats, politicians, and federal law enforcement joining forces. Trust in our institutions has justifiably plummeted. Speech restrictions are being encoded throughout Western culture. Hate speech and hate crime legislation are on the rise. His response: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe call it hate speech, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elest our tenuous psyche splinter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSheltered, frail, puny\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite all this, Schulte believes that hope is not unwarranted. Pushback by concerned individuals and organizations is on the rise, and the U.S. Constitution, although under assault, still stands. Readers on both sides of the political aisle can enjoy Libertarian Rants' unique stanzas, decisive voice, and relentless probing that question the fabric of our nation's politics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 108\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 04, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48100609065212,"sku":"9798822949102","price":35.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/1648\/7234\/files\/lxQy6DKnAC9798822949102.webp?v=1757382629","url":"https:\/\/proudlibertarian.com\/products\/libertarian-rants-a-critique-of-western-culture-from-a-libertarian-perspective-hardcover","provider":"Proud Libertarian","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
