Common Sense on Life Support by Roger Monarch is a no-holds-barred reckoning with the erosion of traditional values in modern America. Drawing from his upbringing in Southeast Texas, Monarch delivers a raw, unapologetic memoir that contrasts the straightforward world of his youth-where discipline meant real consequences, work built character, and common sense reigned-with today's landscape of performative activism, corporate virtue-signaling, and digital outrage.
From absurd chicken-suit protests in Beaumont to detention slips that punish victims over bullies, Monarch explores how societal shifts in education, relationships, media, privacy, and forgiveness have left us disconnected, fragile, and yearning for authenticity. Chapters tackle everything from the decline of boredom and excitement to the fairness crisis in sports and the quiet rebellion brewing in everyday life.
This isn't a safe space or a feel-good guide-it's a wake-up call for grown-ups tired of apologizing for noticing reality. You'll laugh, wince, and likely get offended. Good-that means you're awake. Perfect for anyone wondering, What the hell happened? and ready to reclaim resilience without the hashtags.
Welcome to the real world. No helmets required.
