The Left's War on Reality

READ BY THE AUTHOR

The road to hell is paved with bad intentions, not good ones.

In The Left's War on Reality, Michael Shellenberger and Alex Gutentag, two former progressives, delve into the unsettling truth behind the Left’s policies. What they uncover is far more troubling than mere unintended consequences. Through nine meticulously researched case studies, they reveal a shocking conclusion: the destruction caused by the Left isn’t accidental—it’s deliberate.

From open borders and trans “medicine” to climate change and Covid, Shellenberger and Gutentag expose how the Left’s policies are designed to dismantle nations, communities, and lives. Cloaked in the language of empathy and science, these policies mask a deeper agenda: the systematic erosion of civilization itself.

On each of their key issues, progressives inhabit dream worlds, imagining themselves as heroes and their opponents as villains. Lost in these fantasies, the Left rejects real-world evidence and justifies enormous harm through complicated academic theories, pseudoscientific models, and language games.

When confronted with the problems it creates, the Left blames its enemies. Plummeting literacy scores? Racism. The romantic recession? Toxic masculinity. Mass migration? Western colonialism. Euthanizing poor and lonely people? Inequality. Regretful detransitioners? Transphobia. Skyrocketing overdoses? Anti-drug stigma. Failure of renewables? Climate skepticism.

With sharp analysis and compelling evidence, The Left's War on Reality dismantles the Left’s claims of rationality and compassion, showing how progressive policies betray their own ostensible principles and hurt the very people they claim to help.
