Will Democracy Survive by urbancowgirl0244

This is a fictional story based on a many actual events both historical and current. Join Anni on a journey through the heart of Florida's ideological battlegrounds as she investigates the roots of school book bans and anti-woke policies. In a state embroiled in controversy, Anni confronts conspiracy and bigotry with unwavering resolve and historical truths. Florida stands among the 18 states that have implemented laws curbing discussions on race, gender identity, and sexual orientation in classrooms. The "Stop W.O.K.E" Act, enacted in 2022, imposes restrictions on educators, prohibiting teachings that might evoke feelings of guilt or anguish among students regarding their racial heritage. Amidst the legislative maze lies a climate of fear and censorship, with the looming threat of civil liability and job loss haunting educators who dare to challenge the status quo. But behind the façade of legalities lurks a deeper battle fueled by far-right groups, exploiting social media and the church pulpit to wage a religious crusade against perceived adversaries, both real and imagined. In this war, casualties abound, with the church and the fundamental rights of citizens caught in the crossfire. 'Anni challenges White-Nationalism and Anti-Woke sentiment' delves into the heart of a struggle for freedom of expression and the preservation of academic integrity in the face of ideological extremism.

Notes on Coming Of Age and stuff.

In Between Seasons by cgiovanniauthor

In 2021 the world as we know it changed. The government collapsed, and the worst characteristics of human nature were shown as the world fell into ruins. Years after The Fall, the Tribes that were established are still at war. They still fight to keep what they pillaged, and most of all they fight to keep their lies a secret. In a world filled with deception, nothing is as it seems. I was born into this world. Hunter Marks was molded into this world; a General- a person cold and harsh. A person meant to kill me. We were told to just believe. We were taught to never question. We're supposed to be robots and accept our roles in this altered society. Too bad Hunter and I don't follow the rules. And we're a hell of a lot stronger than they ever thought possible. They've been searching for the world's deadliest weapon. It's me. And I'm not following the leader any more.

From Left to Right: Journeying from Identity Politics to Human Politics by holotheist17

I was lost and totally confused. The year was 2016 and I voted for Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. Being a mere nineteen years old-battling severe depression, social anxiety and fighting my sexuality-I was looking for "Hope" and I was looking for "Progress". In this book, I start out by chronicling my personal political journey, moving from the bowels of the modern left to the opening arms of the modern right. Following this, I lead the reader on a hard-hitting analytical journey, addressing and deftly dismissing some of the modern left's most persuasive and most used tools of narrative. In the end, things are poignantly brought back to home, as I address the overall deficiencies of the liberal idea of "progress" and how this relates to the theme of finding personal meaning in one's own life. This is at once a heartfelt story of personal triumph and a profoundly rigorous and witty treatment of liberal rhetoric. Hold on to your hats. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JTWJWSS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Jonathan+Mize&qid=1600915053&sr=8-3

The Last Gent by TheLastGent

Please allow me to introduce my recently completed nonfiction book-The Last Gent-a memoir of my experiences as a young Trinidad immigrant man trying to be a true gentleman in today's sexually promiscuous and often very superficial world. My aim is to honestly express how I felt at the time these events unfolded and to provide a therapeutic release for feelings I have kept bottled up. I want the women who were and are so important in my life, and women everywhere, to understand the struggle I and men like me go through in trying to be The Last Gent.

From systemic issues to political ideologies, this book provides a thorough exploration of the forces at play in shaping the future of the nation.

Enhanced by key-moo

We have always been destined to rise above our already fascinating sentience; To evolve into something greater than we now are. Change is a fundamental essence of the reality we live in today, an aspect of life that has been here for centuries. A strand in our beautiful nature that we have learned to despise. As the saying goes, 'People are afraid of what they don't understand'. People tend to fight back against change and others embrace it. When the chance of evolution finally reveals itself to us, on what side will we be on? The side that chooses to let it soar the skies, or the side that chooses to use it selfishly? Humans are magnificent creatures, not because of their awareness of life. But for their capability to unite and divide themselves because they choose to do so. (This trilogy is dedicated to those oppressed by the violence and suffering that discrimination may bring upon them.) April 19th, 2020
