"Topical, engaging, personable, and above all, reassuring." -Dr.
Jordan B. Peterson, author of 12 Rules for Life From host of The Rubin
Report, the most-watched talk show about free speech and big ideas on
YouTube right now, a roadmap for free thinking in an increasingly
censored world. The left is no longer liberal. Once on the side of
free speech and tolerance, progressives 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. Dave Rubin launched his
political talk show The Rubin Report in 2015 as a meeting ground for
free thinkers who realize that partisan politics is a dead end. He
hosts people he both agrees and disagrees with--including those who
have been dismissed, deplatformed, and despised--taking on the most
controversial issues of our day. As a result, he's become a voice of
reason in a time of madness. Now, Rubin gives you the tools you need
to think for yourself in an age when tribal outrage is the only
available alternative. Based on his own story as well as his
experiences from the front lines of the free speech wars, this book
will empower you to make up your own mind about what you believe on
any issue and teach you the fine art of: Checking your facts, not your
privilege, when it comes to today's most pervasive myths, from the
wage gap and gun violence to climate change and hate crimes. Standing
up to the mob against today's absurd PC culture, when differences of
opinion can bring relationships, professional or personal, to a sudden
end. Defending classically liberal principles such as individual
rights and limited government, because freedom is impossible without
them. The Progressive Woke Machine is waging war against the last free
thinkers in the world. Don't Burn This Book is the definitive account
of our current political upheaval and your guide to surviving it.
