“Savagery appeased can only grow. Once you give in to it, it must escalate, like a fire searching for air.”
The man who won the Pulitzer Prize for GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, who wrote the classic films THE VERDICT and WAG THE DOG sounds his alarm about the Visigoths at our gates.
In RECESSIONAL he calls out, skewers, mocks, and, most importantly, dissects the virus of conformity which is now an existential threat to the West.
A broad-ranging journey through history, the Bible, and literature, RECESSIONAL examines how politics and cultural attitudes about rebellion have shifted in the United States in the last generation. By screaming down freedom of thought and expression, Mamet explains, we kill invention and democracy - the foundations of security and growth.
A wickedly funny, wistful and wry appeal to the free-thinking citizen, RECESSIONAL is a vital warning that if we don’t confront the cultural thuggery now, the commissars and their dupes will transform the Land of the Free into the dictatorship at which they aim.

It is sad how much the left wants to shut down free speech but thinks it’s fine to teach five year olds about what they call gender fluidity. Follow thw science.

Another loser’s book. When will these authors question themselves as a groupthink of has-beens who use “free speech” only to talk about “free speech”, not to actually be innovative, new, or individualistic in idea or action. And its readers get increasingly echo chambered and resentful as dying cash cows.
Also, the “open society” US was born out of silencing, pamphlet burning, and mob violence. See Gregg L. Frazer’s “God Against The Revolution” for some actual history and hypocrisy.

Your warped concept of innovation and individualism is diametrically opposite of human freedom.
Why China Can’t Innovate:
The FREEDOM to pursue ideas wherever they may lead is a precondition for innovation in universities. But by any comparative measure, FACULTY members in Chinese institutions have little or no role in governance. Indeed, it was not a good sign when China’s then–vice president (now president), Xi Jinping, visited China’s leading universities in June 2012 to call for increased PARTY SUPERVISION of higher education.

You actually have to prove your claim that my conception of innovation and individualism is “warped” or “diametrically opposite of human freedom”. Otherwise, you’re lying and excusing sophistic yammering about the loss of free speech. Haven’t you noticed your idols have been talking endlessly about nothing for a whole decade?
Why the US can’t innovate:
Supreme irony, then, might be the fact that the US so-called “free speech” champions demand that parents dictate their children’s thoughts and activities more to counteract “liberal” or “leftist” higher education. The Coddling Of The American Mind, for instance, claims that children are growing up slower. Then that’s a pretext for infantilizing them longer, fostering what parents themselves decide over the child’s autonomy. Isn’t there a state ban in Florida on what it is taught about LGBT+ for K-3? Where’s the free speech and innovation there? The FREEDOM to pursue ideas wherever they may lead? lol

I didn’t know China wasn’t innovating, but why can’t the US innovate?

“a vital warning that if we don’t confront the cultural thuggery now, the commissars and their dupes will transform the Land of the Free into the dictatorship at which they aim.”
So, this would be a call to action against the GOP bookburners like Desantis? The thugs who terrorise school teachers for teaching history and biology that contradicts their mythology?
Or is it yet another aggrieved guy shouting into his megaphone that he’s being silenced?

Shame about Mamet. He used to be a good writer. He’s off the twig now.

yet another screed about how hard it is to be white in America, the richest country on earth. Looking forward to the day when you’re in the minority.
