He \u201clays bare the intolerance and rigidity creeping into all American ideology,\u201d according to a press release.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In his book, which is available for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Authoritarian-Moment-Weaponized-Americas-Institutions\/dp\/0063001829\/ref=asc_df_0063001829\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=533463765247&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=11402318890889251805&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9013185&amp;hvtargid=pla-1252935630441&amp;psc=1\">purchase on Amazon<\/a> and from other online retailers, Shapiro dares to challenge the mainstream by asking, \u201cWhat if, in fact, the most pressing authoritarian threat to the country lies precisely with the institutional powers that be,\u201d and what if \u201cauthoritarianism has many strains \u2014 and the most virulent strain isn\u2019t the paranoia and fear that sometimes manifests on the Right, but the self-assured unearned moral virtue of the left.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;\u201cThe authoritarian Left is aggressively consistent that everyone must conform to its values, demanding submission and conformity. The dogmatic Left is obsessed with putting people in categories and changing human nature. Everyone who opposes it must be destroyed,\u201d according to a press release that accompanied the book\u2019s debut Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cBen Shapiro looks at everything from pop culture to the Frankfurt school, social media to the Founding Fathers, to explain the origins of our turn to tyranny, and why so many seem blind to it,\u201d says the release.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On social media, Shapiro, who admitted to being biased about the tome, said the book \u201cis a must-read, and goes to the heart of why the country is being ripped apart \u2014 and how we can fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The book is already winning praise from leading voices.<\/p>\n<p>Abigail Shrier, the author of \u201cIrreversible Damage\u201d \u2014 a must-read on the left\u2019s obsession with gender, noted that \u201cBen Shapiro is single-handedly trying to shake America from a dangerous slumber. The&nbsp;Authoritarian Moment is a klaxon bell for anyone willing to fight for an intellectually open&nbsp;America \u2014 before it is lost for good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gina Carano who was, herself, canceled by Disney before coming on board with the Daily Wire to pursue her filmmaking dreams, added that in \u201cone of the biggest power grabs in modern-day history \u2014 where big government, big business,&nbsp;major media, and big tech manipulate the mob to push through their authoritarian agenda \u2014 there&nbsp;are standouts like Ben Shapiro fighting back with everything they\u2019ve got, leading the charge&nbsp;against cancel culture and calling out the uncomfortable truths. They can\u2019t cancel us if we don\u2019t&nbsp;let them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Shapiro is determined to demonstrate how we don\u2019t let them.<\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe Authoritarian Moment\u201d is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Authoritarian-Moment-Weaponized-Americas-Institutions\/dp\/0063001829\/ref=asc_df_0063001829\/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=533463765247&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=11402318890889251805&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9013185&amp;hvtargid=pla-1252935630441&amp;psc=1\">Amazon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-authoritarian-moment-ben-shapiro\/1138646131\">Barnes &amp; Noble<\/a>, and wherever books are sold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Shapiro, a New York Times bestselling author who has published 12 books, graduated from Harvard Law School, and has made hundreds of media appearances.
