“Brilliant, wise, profound and persuasive. Common Sense for the 21st Century will come to be recognized as a classic of political theory.”—George Monbiot, via Twitter An urgent, essential, and practical call to action from a cofounder of Extinction Rebellion What can we all do to avert catastrophe and avoid extinction? Roger Hallam has answers. In Common Sense for the 21st Century, Roger Hallam, cofounder of Extinction Rebellion, outlines how movements around the world need to come together now to start doing what works: engaging in mass civil disobedience to make real change happen. The book gives people the tools to understand not only why mass disruption, mass arrests, and mass sacrifice are necessary but also details how to carry out acts of civil disobedience effectively, respectfully and nonviolently. It bypasses contemporary political theory, and instead is inspired by Thomas Paine, the pragmatic 18th-century revolutionary whose pamphlet Common Sense sparked the American Revolution. Common Sense for the 21st Century urges us to confront the truth about climate change and argues forcefully that only a revolution of society and the state, similar to the turn that Paine urged the Americans to take into the political unknown, can save us now.

“The cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind.”[i] These powerful words were written by Thomas Paine in 1776 in his pamphlet, Common Sense. This 42-page booklet aimed to unite the American colonists in their quest for independence from British rule. Paine’s pamphlet came at a crucial moment when the colonists began to doubt whether the fight for independence was worth the cost. His words served as a rallying cry, convincing the colonists that independence was not only necessary but achievable. Paine’s strong criticism of the English monarchy and his call for freedom inspired many and shifted public opinion firmly toward the idea of self-governance. WE ARE THE PRODUCT of what happened in 1776. We must continually work on our democratic republic to preserve it. Our upcoming election will determine how our country will be governed in this critical time. This pamphlet is created to allow you, the reader to understand the two choices at hand so that you can use your common sense on election day. This pamphlet mimicks Thomas Paine's original work. you will find quotes throughout the pamphlet. [i] Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776.

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, revisits Thomas Paine's Common Sense. In any era, great Americans inspire us to reach our full potential. They know with conviction what they believe within themselves. They understand that all actions have consequences. And they find commonsense solutions to the nation’s problems. One such American, Thomas Paine, was an ordinary man who changed the course of history by penning Common Sense, the concise 1776 masterpiece in which, through extraordinarily straightforward and indisputable arguments, he encouraged his fellow citizens to take control of America’s future—and, ultimately, her freedom. Nearly two and a half centuries later, those very freedoms once again hang in the balance. And now, Glenn Beck revisits Paine’s powerful treatise with one purpose: to galvanize Americans to see past government’s easy solutions, two-party monopoly, and illogical methods and take back our great country.

Do humans feel guilty for what they don't do? Yes; each and every force in this world affects humans silently and forms them as they choose in conscious and unconscious ways. When intelligence and education weren't introduced at a prehistoric age, people were evolving with finding the most common ways, and most people's common sense became the education of other people. Humans are not uneducated but they ignore their common sense with more educational beliefs and confidence. Common Sense, a slim book, is focused on how humans are missing the opportunity of common sense in their life and how they can implement it as a conscious part to make and remember it for life forever.
