Cynical Theories

Fantastic book covering the ideologic concepts that have been ingrained into the institutions of the West (and particularly the United States) and is the primary antithesis to the concepts of liberalism and enlightenment along with Judeo-Christian values in the culture war that is currently underway.

Pluckrose and Lindsay do a fantastic job of accurately describing the origins and evolution of these “theories” and how they are implementing their ideologies into reality. They also discuss how this is has affected society and what to expect as it continues to grow in popularity. There is real, serious danger here. If you cannot see it, it may be helpful to step outside of your bubble and look again. As a warning: if you are firmly planted on the left, you'll want to skip this book as you will almost certainly be cancelled and lose friends if you are caught reading it. This level-headed look at these topics is verboten.

If you have high-school aged children and are considering sending them off to college, this book is a must read as those children will be indoctrinated with these ideologies in almost every college/university in the United States and will be opposed to the ideology that most Americans grew up thinking of as wholesome and helpful.
