How to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps
445 Kč 699 Kč
A growing number of Americans want to tear down what it\'s taken us 250 years to build-and they\'ll start by canceling our shared history, ideals, and culture.
\nTraditional areas of civic agreement are vanishing. We can\'t agree on what makes America special. We can\'t even agree that America is special. We\'re coming to the point that we can\'t even agree what the word America itself means. Disintegrationists say we\'re stronger together, but their assault on America\'s history, philosophy, and culture will only tear us apart.
\nWho are the disintegrationists? From Howard Zinn\'s A People\'s History of the United States to the New York Times\' 1619 project, many modern analyses view American history through the lens of competing oppressions, a racist and corrupt experiment from the very beginning. They see American philosophy as a lie - beautiful words pasted over a thoroughly rotted system. They see America\'s culture of rights as a facade that merely reinforces traditional hierarchies of power, instead of being the only culture that guarantees freedom for individuals.
\nDisintegrationist attacks on the values that built our nation are insidious because they replace each foundational belief, from the rights to free speech and self-defense to the importance of marriage and faith communities, with nothing more than an increased reliance on the government.
\nThis twisted disintegrationist vision replaces the traditional unionist understanding that all Americans are united in a shared striving toward the perfection of universal ideals.
\nHow to Destroy America in Three Easy Steps shows that to be a cohesive nation we have to uphold foundational truths about ourselves, our history, and reality itself-to be unionists instead of disintegrationists. Shapiro offers a vital warning that if we don\'t recover these shared truths, our future-our union-as a great country is threatened with destruction.
