Extinction Rebellion (XR, for short) is an emergency response. Politics as usual, governments, as usual, have let down the peoples of the world in an extreme way: We are on course for eco-driven societal collapse, and we are extinguishing other species very rapidly. We could even end up making ourselves extinct. XR suggests that when your government is driving you and your family over a cliff, it is no longer a legitimate government. Rebellion against it is permitted - indeed, it is required. But XR is insistent that such rebellion must be nonviolent.

What if your nation could be strong without hating anyone? A Nation Without Enemies is Book 11 in the National Identity, Culture & Unity series. It is written for citizens, leaders, students, and builders who are tired of “us versus them” politics and the endless demand to prove loyalty by despising someone else.

The Twentieth Century was widely known the “American Century.” The United States of America led the world economically, militarily, and even morally.
