Notes:

Includes bibliographical references and index. It's time to come out -- Embrace your wake-up call -- Think freely or die -- Don't worry! You're not a Nazi -- Check your facts, not your privilege -- Never surrender to the mob -- Stop hating (straight) white men, America, and Western values -- Learn how to spot fake news -- Find a mentor -- Move on with your life. Libertarian podcaster Rubin posits that progressives, "once on the side of free speech and tolerance, ... now ban speakers from college campuses, 'cancel' people who aren't up to date on the latest genders, and force religious people to violate their conscience. They have abandoned the battle of ideas and have begun fighting a battle of feelings. This uncomfortable truth has turned moderates and true liberals into the politically homeless class ... [In his book], Rubin gives you the tools [he believes] you need to think for yourself in an age when tribal outrage is the only available alternative"--Publisher marketing.
