Ben Shapiro's Advice for Resisting America's 'Authoritarian Moment'
Authoritarianism is all around us. We see it in government, at work, and even in our local communities and schools. What can we do about it?\nBen Shapiro, host of \u201cThe Ben Shapiro Show\u201d and editor emeritus of The Daily Wire, is the leading the charge against authoritarianism. His new book, \u201cThe Authoritarian Moment: How the Left Weaponized America's Institutions Against Dissent,\u201d is already a No. 1 bestseller after debuting last week.\n"I think that there's two types of authoritarianism when we think about it," Shapiro says, explaining:\nOne is a sort of political authoritarianism in which the government continues to exert more and more power in the name of 'doing good.' And then the other sort of authoritarianism, which is unique to our moment a little bit, is the authoritarianism of the culture. The militarization of private institutions on behalf of one particular point of view, and then universally over time. And that one, I will say, is something kind of new.Shapiro joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to talk about this authoritarian threat and why we should resist conformity.
