Author A.R. Moxon was not one of them. He was caught unaware. Thus begins this confession of an American fool, a methodical mapping of the nation the author failed to see-a nation of \"very fine people\" too convinced they are exceptionally good to acknowledge the ways they participate in abuse and harm. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis essay collection contemplates what to do about a populist far-right authoritarian uprising involving so many of our friends and family members.

A strategy for differentiation rather than a work of passive despair, this collection urges readers to reject the fascist offer of false peace in favor of aggressive celebration and the repair of our collective spirit, and offers a vital reminder that hope is a thing that fights in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377737367775,"sku":"9798989994922","price":21.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/CLyNyvr0a9798989994922.webp?v=1789240058"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/a-r-moxon.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
