The Red Pill by Frank Freeman (2 Reviews)    Price verified 19 minutes ago

The red pill from my point of view can be defined as a politically incorrect view of relations between men and women. The term derives from the film Matrix (1999) but is now commonly used as a metaphor to describe an uncomfortable truth, as opposed to the blue pill which is instead a reassuring lie. The redpill, i.e. the person who mirrors himself in the redpill vision, thus seeks to analyse social relations objectively, assessing them objectively as they are. He seeks to make a critical analysis, on the basis of scientific evidence, without allowing himself to be excessively conditioned by the mainstream view of male-female relations that is inevitably highly sweetened and stuffed with lies or at least false truths that act as a lubricant to make relations between human beings flow with less friction. This book aims to give a voice to those who consider themselves redpilled and to address and discuss the issue of male-female relationships in a critical and unfiltered manner.

Smoking, Class, and the Legitimation of Power: Reflections on the War against Tobacco and on the Rise of the New Puritanism (Libertarian Analysis ... by Sean Gabb (3 Reviews)    Price verified 51 minutes ago

"The puritan hated bear baiting, not because it gave pain to the bear, but because it gave pleasure to the spectators." T.B. Macaulay, 1848 The "War against Tobacco" is a fact of modern life. We have high taxes, bans on promotion, campaigns against smoking, and growing attempts to criminalise smoking outside the home -- and even inside the home. In this book, Sean Gabb shows that the "War" is part of a much larger project of lifestyle regulation by the ruling class, and that its final victory will be to reduce us to a mob of terrified and atomised serfs, toiling for the enrichment of others. He examines this "War" in its political and historical and its theological aspects, showing its alleged justifications as nothing more than a discourse imposed by the ideological state apparatus. Extract: The function of the war against tobacco is to provide a set of plausible excuses for the extraction of resources from the people and for the exercise of power over them. There is nothing new or unique about this war. It has been waged on and off for centuries. It is similar to the established wars against alcohol and drugs, and to the gathering war against supposedly unhealthy foods. Though, with the decline of public rationality, we now have our own witches and heretics to be combated -- or, to be explicit, our racists and our paedophiles -- the regulation of lifestyle is still the most plausible set of excuses for enlarging the income and status of our ruling class. This is a class issue, and no discussion of tobacco policy can be complete without an understanding of the dynamics of class.

The Science of Liberty: Selected Essays on Politics, Culture and Economics (Chris R. Tame Books Book 1) by Chris Tame (2 Reviews)    Price verified 57 minutes ago

Chris Tame (1949-2006) was the Founder and Director of the Libertarian Alliance, and was the most prominent British libertarian of his age. The works assembled in this book attempt to demonstrate that classical liberalism (or 'libertarianism', to employ the more recent neologism for this intellectual tradition) was a richer, deeper and more systematic school of thought than is normally portrayed. They also try to analyse why that tradition went into decline, and why it has, in recent years, enjoyed a revival. A number of the essays are also attempts to apply that more systematic perspective to a number of topics in different disciplines. Contents • BIOGRAPHICAL ESSAY ON CHRIS R. TAME BY SEAN GABB • INTRODUCTION BY CHRIS R. TAME • CREATING A SCIENCE OF LIBERTY: THE LIFE & HERITAGE OF MURRAY N. ROTHBARD, 1926-1995 • THE REVOLUTION OF REASON: PETER GAY, THE ENLIGHTENMENT AND THE AMBIGUITIES OF CLASSICAL LIBERALISM • THE CRITICAL LIBERALISM OF J. M.

The book blurb is from M and Dee, my groovy early seventies pop culture memoir. The reviews describe M and Dee as an authentic 70s sounding groovy read, which it should because it really happened. So, with that said, instead of me describing the book, below is what the readers have said about M and Dee. "Ah, the 70s. This book captures well the free spirited, hitch-hiking, back-packing, train riding, grass smoking, free loving, relationship developing era of the early to mid-70's. The story contains humor, insights, quirks, and romance, but in the end it is a tragedy of the most unusual kind. Don't try to figure out the ending. You can't." "Groovy Baby, the characters developed nicely and it really had a good vibe to it and the language was very authentic." "A modern day retelling of the classic star-crossed lovers tale." "I loved this story and really got into the groovy 70s scene which was so which was so poignantly depicted." Great wanderlust read.

Return To The Old West (A Time-Travel Western) Random Tales of the Old West # 5: Gunfight At Burro Creek—Regardless of the century, it doesn't hurt ... by Jeff Breland (55 Reviews)    Price verified one hour ago

In this almost believable wild and humorous time-travel story, Jeff Breland strays from his true-to-life western adventures to show us what might happen if a modern-day man were to stumble back into the 1880s. It also gives a very humorous account of what could happen if the role was reversed and a man from the 1880s were to stumble into modern day time. He would definitely be mistaken for being insane and locked away. The story tells us how the man who stumbled into that previous time helps the man who wandered into the present to escape and return home. Many of the events are quite humorous while others can be downright frightening. There's also a couple of bad guy to deal with.
