The book focuses on checking facts rather than privilege, standing up against the mob, and defending classical liberal principles such as individual rights and limited government. Rubin draws from his own experiences and the front lines of the free speech wars to empower readers to make up their own minds on various issues and to survive the current political upheaval.
