Viviamo nell'epoca che più di ogni altra celebra la libertà e la proclama un diritto assoluto. Eppure qualcosa non torna. Una nebbia sottile, silenziosa, si è insinuata nelle nostre vite: non vieta, non ordina, non punisce. Seduce. E mentre promette tranquillità e benessere ci spinge verso l'omologazione, spegnendo il pensiero critico, inibendo la creatività e il coraggio di essere diversi.

Desde mediados del siglo XX, la esperanza de vida ha aumentado en occidente de veinte a treinta años, lo que equivale a toda una existencia en el siglo XVII. Así pues, al llegar a los cincuenta años, experimentamos una suerte de suspensión entre la madurez y la vejez, un intervalo en el que la brevedad de la vida realmente comienza, mientras nos planteamos las grandes cuestiones de nuestra condición.

El nuevo ensayo de José Sánchez Tortosa nos ofrece una profunda y poco complaciente radiografía de la sociedad actual. En él disecciona algunos de los fenómenos más inquietantes de nuestra época: el auge del tribalismo identitario, la extensión del narcisismo a ultranza, la desconexión de amplísimas capas de población respecto al saber humanístico y filosófico, la degradación de la educación, la feudalización digital, el infantilismo y la sentimentalización de la política, la ruptura de una idea compartida de ciudadanía, las manifestaciones renovadas de antisemitismo…

In the age of comfort, a quiet collapse is happening inside people—not in governments, not in economies, but in the minds of ordinary adults who can no longer handle ordinary life. The Weak Generation tears apart the myths we hide behind and exposes why emotional weakness is rising while real resilience is disappearing.

En nombre de la lucha contra la discriminación, esta religión surgida en las universidades estadounidenses predica verdades bastante inusuales: su «teoría de género» sostiene que el sexo y el cuerpo no existen, y que solo cuenta la conciencia. Su «teoría crítica de la raza» afirma que todos los blancos son racistas, pero que ninguna persona «racializada» puede serlo. Su «epistemología del punto de vista» sostiene que todo conocimiento está localizado y que no existe ciencia objetiva, ni siquiera en las disciplinas tradicionales.

Across society, people sensed a quiet dislocation — a feeling that the world they knew no longer matched the world they inhabited. Institutions wavered. Narratives fractured. The pace of life accelerated beyond comprehension. Beneath the noise, something deeper was happening: modern culture had entered a form of exile.

Con esta premisa, El mito del fracaso español hace un recorrido, desde los años 80 del pasado siglo hasta hoy, por la simbología patria, los discursos sobre el pasado imperial, la obsesión por la decadencia, el debate de «las dos Españas», los discursos de odio a lo español o la crisis del régimen del 78. Un libro esclarecedor sobre cómo las interpretaciones de nuestro pasado, nos gusten o no, siguen ejerciendo una poderosa influencia en el modo en que los españoles nos percibimos, cómo entendemos la política o la capacidad para resolver nuestros problemas en tiempos líquidos.

For over 240 years, for the most part, the American people have enjoyed a certain amount of civility and prosperity in a free society. There is an operation underway to deliberately throw the United States and the nations of the world off the rails spiritually to cause the chaos the world is experiencing today. Why? To usher in a new age of globalism, complete control over everyone and everything, by just a few at the top. This is just the physical manifestation of an underlying spiritual war.

Forget Every "Black" book you ever read or listened to; this Book is NOT "your black" book! This is the story of a first time author, who calls himself "Uncle Meshorn", as he debunks every label by which "uncle sam" has branded him with, including "uncle tom." If MeShorn is NOT "your black", America, then who is he? As soon as you think you can "box" MeShorn into "one of yours", you will have to embarrassingly pull him out, as you read the next chapter! Yet, this book is not just about who he is, rather who you are.

Before the 18th century, every single nutmeg in the world originated around a group of small volcanic islands east of Java, known as the Banda Islands. As the nutmeg made its way across the known world, they became immensely valuable—in 16th-century Europe, just a handful could buy a house. It was not long before European traders became conquerors, and the indigenous Bandanese communities—and the islands themselves—would pay a high price for access to this precious commodity.
