Not Cool: The Hipster Elite and Their War on You

2014Greg Gutfeld

3.3/5

The premise of this book is based on Greg Gutfeld's forever question: "Why are good things seen as bad, and why are bad things seen as good?" He takes various segments/foundations of our culture and writes about their unfortunate unraveling by elitists (media, politicians on both sides, and celebrities). What once was respected and considered cool (e.g., the military, stable two-parent homes, being proud of your accomplishments rather than your identity, not relying on government as your parent to provide you with everything, among other things) are now mocked, as well as their importance to a functional and safe society downplayed. The only true answer Gutfeld gives is a libertarian one: let people live their lives without interference from others, except if they're hurting someone with their actions. Hopefully the rising interest in libertarianism will take hold sooner rather than later.If you enjoy watching Greg on Red Eye, these chapters are essentially extended funny monologues. I enjoy his brand of humor, which is totally needed if you're heavily immersed in politics.
