The Unpatriotic Truth
The Unpatriotic Truth examines U.S. history, beyond patriotic mythology, exposing how selective storytelling, Nationalism, and propaganda shape public understanding of the past. Written in clear, direct language, the book challenges readers to confront uncomfortable historical realities and consider how those distortions continue to influence modern politics, identity, and civic life.
The Rise of the B!tch Boy Man Baby
Welcome to the B!tch Boy Man Baby epidemic, a phenomenon where grown men weaponize emotional immaturity, avoid accountability like the plague, and somehow keep failing upward into positions of power.
This unflinching examination traces the BBMB from his natural habitats (your dating app matches, your workplace, your social media feed) to the halls of power where his personal dysfunction becomes political catastrophe. Drawing on research from psychology, sociology, gender studies, and political science, author A.M. Ber reveals how patriarchal systems, toxic masculinity, online radicalization, and weaponized religion create the perfect conditions for emotionally stunted men to thrive; and why the costs of tolerating them range from ruined relationships to democratic collapse. Part cultural critique, part survival guide, and part call to action. The man-baby tantrum has gone on long enough. It’s time to grow up, or get out of the way.
A.M. Ber
I didn’t plan to be an author. What I planned, what I was taught to plan, was to be quiet. Being quiet is the survival training most of us receive early in life. We learn not to make waves, not to draw attention, and not to say things that might make others uncomfortable. Quiet is praised as maturity, humility, and politeness. It brings acceptance and safety, or at least the promise of safety. So, for much of my life, I stayed quiet and buried myself in books.
