The Left's War on Reality

We are witnessing the controlled demolition of civilization.

Imagine a button that, if pressed, would instantly end Western civilization. You know Greta Thunberg would slam her hand on it. Now, think of how many other people on the Left would press it too, from Democratic primary voters to left-wing journalists to US Senators.

In The Left’s War on Reality, Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag expose the shocking pattern connecting our most destructive cultural and political shifts. Shellenberger has sold hundreds of thousands of copies of his books on climate change and homelessness. As he and Gutentag took on government censorship, they realized all of the Left’s main issues are related.

The driving force behind progressive politics is a profound desire to tear down civilization. Nowhere is this controlled demolition more obvious than our open borders. Mass migration is not an accident or a policy failure; it is a feature of the Left’s design. The unprecedented border chaos that bankrupted municipal budgets and undermined the safety of cities like New York and Chicago, as well as communities across California is exactly what they intended.

As Democrats systematically take over statehouses nationwide, the exact same radical policies destroying the coasts are coming straight for states like Texas and South Carolina. Across nine topics—gender, euthanasia, drugs, feminism, race, borders, education, climate, and Covid—Shellenberger and Gutentag show how policies sold as "compassion" instead inflict death and suffering. By sterilizing youth, euthanizing the depressed, enabling fentanyl overdoses, fueling crime, and abandoning trafficked migrant children, progressive "care" harms the vulnerable while destroying essential pillars of civilization. What they keep selling us as a cure has always been poison.

The Left's War on Reality is a relentless, investigative deep-dive backed by over a hundred pages of meticulous footnotes. Shellenberger and Gutentag pull back the curtain on a coordinated war on truth. Read the book that exposes the Left’s endgame...before there is no civilization left to defend.
