Overview

If you believe that individual freedom and liberty must be held sacrosanct, Michael Schulte's sociocultural poetic analysis is the book for you. His favorite poem describes the thought process he follows when contemplating trends in Western culture: Seek truth with reason your guide Your conscience for no allegiance set aside After 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: Coffee shops filled with caffeine and the Quiet Like Easter Island heads living non-meat diets Why, one could offend or seem to defend Soften your keystrokes, don't start a riot Formerly, 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: We call it hate speech, lest our tenuous psyche splinter Sheltered, frail, puny Despite 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.
