The Smallest Minority: Independent Thinking in the Age of Mob Politics

"The most profane, hilarious, and insightful book I've read in quite a while." â€”Â BEN SHAPIROÂ

"Kevin Williamson's gonzo merger of polemic, autobiography, and batsh*t craziness is totally brilliant." â€” JOHN PODHORETZ,Â Commentary

"Ideological minorities â€“ including the smallest minority, the individual â€“ can get trampled by the unity stampede (as my friend Kevin Williamson masterfully elucidates in his new book, The Smallest Minority)." â€” JONAH GOLDBERG

â€œThe Smallest Minority is the perfect antidote to our heedless age of populist politics. It is a book unafraid to tell the people that theyâ€™re awful.â€ â€” NATIONAL REVIEW

"Williamson is blistering and irreverent, stepping without doubt on more than a few toesâ€”but, then again, thatâ€™s kind of the point." â€”Â THE NEW CRITERION

"Stylish, unrestrained, and straight from the mind of a pissed-off genius." â€” THE WASHINGTON FREE BEACONÂ

Kevin Williamson is "shocking and brutal" (RUTH MARCUS,Â Washington Post), "a total jack**s" (WILL SALETAN,Â Slate), and "totally reprehensible" (PAUL KRUGMAN,Â New York Times).Â

Reader beware: Kevin D. Williamsonâ€”the lively, literary firebrand fromÂ National ReviewÂ who was too hot forÂ The AtlanticÂ to handleâ€”comes to bury democracy, not to praise it. With electrifying honesty and spirit, Williamson takes a flamethrower to mob politics, the â€œbeast with many headsâ€ that haunts social media and what currently passes for real life. Itâ€™s destroying our capacity for individualism and dragging us down â€œthe Road to Smurfdom, the place where the deracinated demos of the Twitter age finds itself feeling small and blue.â€

The Smallest MinorityÂ is by no means a memoir, though Williamson does reflect on that â€œtawdry little episodeâ€ withÂ The AtlanticÂ in which he became all-too-intimately acquainted with mob outrage and the forces of tribalism.

Rather, this book is a dizzying tour through a world youâ€™ll be horrified to recognize as your own. With biting appraisals of social media (â€œan economy of Willy Lomans,â€ political hustlers (â€œthat certain kind of man or womanâ€¦who will kiss the collective ass of the mobâ€), journalists (â€œa contemptible union of neediness and arroganceâ€) and identity politics (â€œidentity is more accessible than policy, which requires effortâ€),Â The Smallest MinorityÂ is a defiant, funny, and terrifyingly insightful book about what we human beings have done to ourselves.
