The brand new Puritans from the Still left are quick to ban comedians and commencement speakers alike for the sin of disagreeing with them. They demand “secure spaces” while producing dissent increasingly dangerous for Americans.
Ham and Benson demonstrate just how dangerous the outrage industry-a coalition of mostly liberal blowhards and busybodies-is to America.

They punish talk which makes them uncomfortable, challenging boycotts, censures, and people’s careers. They look for to win political and ethnic debates by avoiding them from happening.

With refreshing reporting and insightful, sometimes tongue-in-cheek analysis, End of Conversation is a timely handbook for anyone who wants to make sure question doesn’t meet an ugly loss of life.
