Bol The untold story behind protests, riots, political violence, and the struggle for truth in America's age of unrest. “Fearless, meticulous, and unfashionably fair.” —Nadine Strossen Past president of the American Civil Liberties Union, Senior Fellow at FIRE, and coauthor of The War on Words Over five years of on-the-ground reporting, Jeremy Lee Quinn dissects the riot culture that reshaped U.S. politics from 2020–2026. Blending eyewitness livestreams, interviews, and case studies, he shows how mob psychology, decentralized militant tactics (black bloc, viral “diversity of tactics”), and social-media amplification turned protests into sustained cycles of violence. Quinn traces parallel radicalization on left and right—from Minneapolis, Portland, and Kenosha to Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and January 6—documenting arson, targeted assaults, and political vigilantism (the Sonoma pig’s-head episode, WiSpa clashes, CHOP, Proud Boys/Oath Keepers). He critiques media framing, cancel culture, and activist purity politics that obscure complexity and fuel polarization, profiling intermediaries like masked livestreamers and embattled journalists. Culture of Confusion argues militant escalation influenced elections, hollowed mainstream narratives, and left institutions unwilling to confront violence holistically—urging a clearer, less partisan accounting of political militancy and its civic consequences.
