In a culture increasingly dominated by divisive identity politics and "woke" ideology, Bruce O'Brien refuses to sit silently by. "Spitting Back" delivers twenty-two sharp, unfiltered essays that shatter progressive orthodoxies while defending the values that built America.
Drawing on historical examples and contemporary developments, O'Brien exposes what he sees as the dangerous influence of Cultural Marxism in our schools, corporations, and government. From Critical Race Theory to DEI initiatives, from campus censorship to environmental alarmism, he systematically dismantles the ideological framework threatening to transform our republic.
Written with conviction and unwavering clarity, O'Brien's perspectives will resonate with readers concerned about America's cultural direction. He argues that conservatives are the true progressives, championing individual rights, free speech, and equal opportunity rather than equal outcomes. The collection culminates with "The Gull," a reflective short story that reveals a softer, contemplative side to O'Brien's otherwise combative prose.
"Spitting Back" isn't just a critique—it's a call to action. Whether you're already aligned with conservative principles or simply questioning the excesses of today's social justice movements, this collection offers intellectual ammunition for defending Western values against what O'Brien describes as a coordinated assault on our civilization.
For those tired of being told to sit down and shut up, O'Brien's message is clear: it's time to start spitting back.
