No disagreement here. But this book came out in August 2022 I think which means he's not exactly on the leading edge. More of capitalizing on a trend when there's a $44.9 million judgement to pay off... is something that a cynic would say.
His words. And capitalzing on a trend is not exactly an unbiased source.

Some of us search to find what the truth is, and some search for things to prove what they want the truth to be. Questions about the author's credibility suggest subjective agenda, and a subjective reason to never indulge in the book. There is no need to read the book though, since the MSM can tell you everything you want to hear about it.
Do false assumptions get you very far in life? So far you've told us that you read a book but haven't been able to actually tell us what is in the book. You've told us you're on this great quest for knowledge but haven't been able to relay any of that knowledge. You've implied that the MSM has massive credibility questions but you pretty much ignore the credibility questions of an individual who has admitted, at least twice, that they were wrong and/or suffered from some sort of psychosis because the media and corporations "lying so much."
Based on what I've been asked to swallow and believe in this thread, where I've engaged in a quest for truth by the way, I've seen website after website and quote after quote of things that just do not pass any sort of credibility check when the whole of the evidence is piled together.
FWIW I don't think the MSM has been anywhere near this book. For reasons that are just beyond imagining.

This thread is really interesting.
In this corner .... we have a conspiracy around every corner.
And in the blue corner, we have "there's no slippery slope" and if you don't have concrete evidence it never happened and isn't going to.
Addressing the latter first, the first time I heard the "there's no slippery slope" theory was when the left was conning society into accepting fags and not beating them up. Seems to me we've taken a long, deep dive down that nonexistent slope. We now have child mutilation, brainwashing, Peds have Rights, and loser males competing in Women's sports. This is "a", not "the" example. There are more than a few (hundred). Lest we not forget, blacks established this Nation and if the 1619 Project isn't lies compounded upon lies to create an alternate, fantasy reality to suit an agenda, I don't know what is.
As to the former ... the boy who kept crying wolf got eaten by the wolf because people stopped listening and/or reacting.
I also STILL can't understand why whatever "globalists" are trying to do is more important an issue than what our own damned government is doing right here, in our country, to us. Addressing individual symptoms does not cure the disease. If We, the People were in control of our government as we are supposed to be, the issue of what these global bureaucrats creating crises so they can sell us the cure is moot.
A government of the people does business with anyone only if the People let it. Maybe we should be more worried about getting our own house in order rather than trying to control things beyond our reach.
