For many people, the cinematic vigilante has been shaped by Charles Bronson's character in Death Wish and its sequels. But screen vigilantes have taken many guises, from Old West lynch mobs and rogue police officers to rape-avengers and military-trained equalizers. This book recounts the varied representations of such characters in films like The Birth of a Nation, which celebrated the violence of the Ku Klux Klan, and Taxi Driver, Falling Down and You Were Never Really Here, in which the vigilante impulse was symptomatic of mental instability. Also considered is the extent to which fictional vigilantism functions as social commentary and to what degree it is simply stoking popular fears.

Disrupting the Generational Cycle of Distrust in America's 600 Year Cultural War You are about to scan a high-resolution MRI of the psychological forces generating discord and disrupting the American democratic experiment. Absolute-mindedness is not a personality type, clinical disorder or social psychopathology, but an archaic "trust" adaptation giving rise to much of today's populist frustration and anger. When trust is disrupted early in life -- complexity, ambiguity, and disappointment fixate on a trust-mistrust duality -- good-bad, right-wrong, us versus them. Republicans and Democrats are undergoing cultural mitosis. An evolutionary social and political speciation driving us toward an autocratic America. Constitutional "originalists" were raised in parental originalism emphasizing principle and discipline over empathy and reasoning. Solo mass shootings are a predictable abandonment pattern over the course of America's history of gun rights and vigilante ethos. Conspiracy theories are repetitive information diffusion in dense social networks during times of social unrest, triggering individuals pre-wired for resignation, grievance, and revenge. The modern dictator: a "dark triad" of malignant narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. American Absolutism explores what happens when human adaptation loses viability as it comes face-to-face with an exponentially evolving complexity that is the modern human condition.

Change? Places! Where To? Bamboo Rubber Bands Play Who? Object/S define you? Jennifer, a medical doctor, and Ben, a veterinarian, husband and wife, testified against two head honchos of the GTO international syndicate. Life has never been the same since “doing the right thing”. To avoid capture, torture and elimination by the GTO international syndicate, Ben and Jennifer frequently change appearance, style and location. As you can imagine, they frequently changed names and associate ID documents. However, for reader convenience, a person in this series of books is referred to by the same name in all references to that person. Change? shares their perpetually changing locations and lifestyles directed by their Witness Protection Program handlers. Bamboo Rubber Bands presents Jennifer’s individual survival and GTO avoidance strategies after her and Ben’s exploits in Change?. Fortunately, in Bamboo Rubber Bands, “individual” evolves to lose knit unconventional families of significant others and orphans that afford a truly significant new lifestyle, including distraction from a behavioral tendency that Jennifer was not able to comprehensively manage by herself. Where To? and Object/S feature Ben, Stephanie, Yolanda and Jeff individually and together in situations and lifestyles that they would not have previously considered to be strategically viable.
