Who are the Minutemen? Patriots? Racists? Vigilantes? Harel Shapira lived with the Minutemen and patrolled the border with them, seeking neither to condemn nor praise them, but to understand who they are and what they do. Challenging simplistic depictions of these men as right-wing fanatics with loose triggers, Shapira discovers a group of men who long for community and embrace the principles of civic engagement. Yet these desires and convictions have led them to a troubling place.

Narrator undermines the message with embarrassing and prejudiced caricature.
Revisado: 09-24-18
The book itself is a fantastic and insightful look at the lives of these men and the reasons they are there. Unfortunately, the narrator undermines the thrust of the humanizing message with embarrassing and prejudiced caricature.
Overly thick backwoods accents with insinuations of intelligence levels are laid on thick. To the point where its difficult to simply listen to what people are trying to say because the narrators impression of who they are is crowding out the content. Instead of an objective listen to someone’s opinion, the narrator is busy trying to telegraph and object his preformed idea. Takes you out of it, being so obvious and one-note.
Such a shame. I have a genuine interest in why these people are doing what they are doing. I struggled to hear them through the sheen.
There no way the author could be happy with this performance.

What does everyone in the modern world need to know? Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research. Humorous, surprising, and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.

traditionalist certainties delivered through tough advice
Revisado: 08-06-18
While there’s value to some of this life advice, JP approaches his traditionalist perspectives as though they are the absolute truths. Prone to using scripture, perhaps it will speak more to certain audiences who’ll find confirmation of their own views... some rooted in victimhood, even as he rails against it.
He practically indicts his own blindspots with some passages of nature/nurture but fails to fully address them. It’s easy to hear if you don’t fall prey to his paternal tone and rather listen with your own critical and objective ear.
Be mindful that it’s also laden with his own libertarian leanings, offering moral declarations on taxation and winded complaints about how his daughter was treated in a medical facility.
