In this unapologetic and patriarchal book, author Conrad Riker exposes the menacing influence of progressive ideologies, such as Marxism, critical theories, and gender studies, on Western civilization. Focusing on the perspectives of rational men, Riker investigates the destructive impact of the woke mind virus on traditional family structures, masculine authority, and cultural production. Through a combination of redpilled insights and objective facts from evolutionary biology and psychology, this book provides a powerful and necessitous antidote to the subversive cultural revolution waged by the progressive left.
