"They can’t accept that the fundamental nature of reality is extraordinary unjust."

This is one of those truths that many (especially modern Progressives) refuse to believe. Kind of like the old "the universe doesn't care about you" idea, which is also true.

I also think it's a glaring flaw in anyone's belief system to not accept that reality. Normally I would say deny it at your own detriment, but I feel like it's gotten to a point where some are trying to force others to deny it as well...which is alarming to say the least.

Agree.

The focus of this book however is a specific political persuasion, and it's not conservatives.

Being a feral cat has its difficulties and its joys, but if you do not quickly take it to heart that the universe does not care about you or your existence, about fairness or justice or anything else, you will not remain a cat for long.

I have heard similar from Holocaust survivors.
