I was struck by two things: 1) just how blatantly racist it is, in a really gross, brazenly self-incriminating way, and 2) how poorly written it is. It’s just such a ramble of propaganda and ideology, it’s not a remotely readable book. Hearing this review, I was curious to hear how it ended, but I can see the tone or pace of the book barely changes. It begins as a boring, slow, racist rant without any real plot or characters and apparently never stops being that.

She claimed to not be a racist (hiding it - poorly - behind dogwhistles and lies that have been debunked about as thoroughly as a lie can be debunked), and pretty routinely threw out the "the left labled me a racist because they call everyone who says facts they don't like a racist" reactionary NPC line of dialogue - but even without her dogwhistles getting outed and the "facts" she cited getting proven to be just made up BS to help push her agenda by quite a few people, it should have been pretty clear to anyone familiar with TCotS what she actually stood for just by her constantly mentioning how much she loves this book.

And "The Turner Diaries" was published in 1978. Even "Mein Kampf" was written in an era (1920s) when Western liberals were beginning to turn against racism - if they hadn't already before. But then, books like these are primitive by nature - as ridiculous as those medieval travelogues that described monsters and weird humanoid creatures living in foreign lands. But I think these books SHOULD be read. Shunning them because of their content without even opening them is an act of self-censorship, and in its own way as narrow-minded as the attitudes expressed in the books themselves. It's not as if reading this book will automatically turn a person into a genocidal lunatic, any more than reading a Gothic horror novel will turn someone into a sadistic torturer. I think these books should be enjoyed as a sort of depraved, surreal fiction, in much the same way that pornography is enjoyed. Besides, if every library in the world had a copy of each of these books, people could read them for free and wouldn't have to fund their creators by buying them.

The Serbs, the Croats, and the Bosniaks were all Slavs - and thus, strictly speaking, "subhuman" to the Nazis - but the Croats and Bosniaks were just as vicious (and arguably more so) toward foreigners - ESPECIALLY Serbs - as the Germans were. So the Nazis fudged the truth a bit, claiming that because the Croats were Catholic rather than Orthodox and wrote in Latin script rather than Cyrillic, they were more "Aryan" than the Serbs; and because the Muslim Bosniaks (who were closely allied with the Croats in any case) were anti-Semitic, they were effectively "Aryans" as well. The main point, however, was that the Croats and Bosniaks were pro-Austrian (an ethnically German country and Hitler's homeland), while the Serbs were pro-Russian - and of course, Russia was by far the largest Slavic country and pretty much the Antichrist in the minds of the Nazis for its Judaism and Communism as well as its Slavic-ness.

The church's power to do that has greatly diminished since the renessaince introducing the printing press and translation the bible into languages of the commoners. But that tradition to pick and chose lives on in the church and amongst christians. Tbf there may be some positive to discarding the bad parts and keeping the good.

The population of France in 2020 is estimated to be about 67 million. Even if a million refugees did hit the beaches a 1/67 ratio is hardly swamping. (I'm not sure what the population of France was in 1975. The Internet says 50 million? 1/50 isn't a great ratio either.) The average cruise ship can carry... what? 3000 people? More or less? It would take 334 such ships to carry 1 million people. That's a lot of ships. A lot of torpedoes if you wanted to deal with them that way. More ships would be needed if the ships aren't designed to hold people. Where do these ships come from? Once the first few are taken over it wouldn't be long before the captains are ordered to leave the area. And who pilots the captured ships? How many crew would remain on board? Are all the pilots and other crew forced to work? How much fuel is required for this journey? And yes, food. How long before it's all eaten and the passengers starve? Is cannibalism next? 1,000,000 becomes 500,000, then 250,000... None of this book makes any sense.

The Empire was the source of all evil as well as the facade of the war against evil. The entire Warhammer universe would not exist in it's current form if the solidarity the Empire worshipped was an achievable goal. As a proven absurd goal it's no less mindless in it's appeals to authority than the chaos it sought to destroy, who distilled that need for loyalty down to pain, the prison of the self and death. The armies of light and darkness in that universe are the epitome of fascism, the beauty of the storytelling there is it's plausibility as a metaphor of human political drama. Yep, just repeating what you guys already wrote. I'm funny that way.

Including wasting resources in building a planet destroying battle station, which I previously thought it was simply cartoonishly evil I now think “yeah, no they would totally do that” - The thing is that distancing and 20+ years of tv documentaries on how the n*zis where “evil geniuses” (looking at you History Channel) kinda created a very wrong picture.

I think he was merely fantasizing about fighting in those wars/joining the KKK, the same way he fantasizes about being a crusader. He himself didn’t do any of those things but by god wishes he was there to. It ironically shows that white supremacists are all about those glory days but have no intention to actually do the things that bring “glory”. All glory no work. That’s actually a rather universal human failing -for things unrelated to white supremacist violence- and the author would have better spent his time examining why a white supremacist is too scared to be a “kool KKK member” in the modern age. He could have kept his disgusting politics intact AND included a call to action to make his readers “kool KKK members” AND actually contributed something to literature that every graduate student would have to begrudgingly read despite its horrible politics (similar to say, Lolita). Also it would 900% be “the school shooters’ guide how to go through with it” so thank god he just wrote what he did. Then again he goes around shooting people at the end so idk what the message is

In the famous blog post by John Rogers where he identified the 27% Crazification Factor, there's a discussion between him and his friend Tyrone in which they talk about a speech Bush had just given. Tyrone: Reading here, the speech boiled down to two points -- John: Who cares? The Spain-to-Indonesia thing should automatically invalidate the whole speech. I don't care how good your investment advisor is, he can spend three hours reviewing mutual funds, as soon as he says "And of course, we can put your money into the Easter Bunny's Egg Upgrades", he is out of -- I presume Tyrone cut him off from saying "here", "my employ", "consideration", or "his mind". I bring this up because it's apparently still uncivil to say that Bannon, Miller, King, and le Pen are white supremacists. But I don't care how reasonable your politician is, they can spend three hours saying how it's only CULTURE they're talking about, as soon as they say "and I join the Ku Klux Klan to murder myself some blacks" they are out of the Good People club. In the case of this book that explicitly has no value beyond propaganda and is explicitly racist, we don't need to discuss whether anyone who recommends it as something to read to understand the modern world is a racist or a white supremacist. They have recommended you put your money into the Easter Bunny's Egg Upgrades and are out of whatever John Rogers was about to say.

@@QuikVidGuy like I said, direct correlation. Never said anything about eugenics. It does help us better understand conservative ideologies and how they can be quite literally passed on via genetics. Culture does play a major role. Most people don't understand what culture actually is (at least from an academic point of view). Culture are the expectations of the environment and other people. My favorite example is bugs. Given humans are omnivores, insects are one of the most nutritious food sources for humans. However, despite knowing this, I cannot get myself to eat them based on culture. The expectation created is that people do not eat bugs and to do so is vile. Now, there is this myth of American individuality. It is an aspect of American culture that sees people as hyper atomized. An expectation of both success and failure being the sole responsibility of the individual has existed for a long time now. This despite how much society and other people influence who we are and where we are. So yes, while there are a multitude of reasons for the conservative ideology, they tend to stem from fear or greed.

My favorite book is Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. It's very poetic and in many ways wish fulfillment. It's about two gay hispanic teenagers growing up in Texas and their love story. It has a happy ending I promise, and while there are a lot of themes, the one that sticks out most to me is how hate crimes effect the people who love those directly involved. Spoiler warning: Ari's (much older) brother is in prison for killing a trans woman, and Ari spends much of the novel trying to figure out what he did and why his parents almost pretend he doesn't exist. Ari also punches (and feels murderous intent towards) a group of boys who beat up Dante in an alley when they caught him kissing another boy. It's not apologetic towards those who commit hate crimes so much as humanizing towards both sides. An acknowledgment that only pain comes from hate crimes.

Even to this day the vast majority of the nations at the top of the charts in wealth and influence are the children of the very same butchers, thieves, and murderers who install dictators, cut down revolts, takes slaves, and ravages the world for resources.

You know, every time I think I'm ready to see someone talk about racist literature, I swallow that fat pill of regret afterwards. I don't understand this book or the people it's meant for. I don't think anyone truly could, however. These are the people who will never truly know that compassion grants happiness; just that they have a burning hole in their heart that they fill with myth and delusion. I mean, just look at they're longing to be part of the armies of old Europe, without realizing that life for the rest of society was abject human misery akin to their fictional portrayal of the refugees. They'd rather spit shine the shoes of a tyrant king, than have to share the world with non-whites. On a side note, this is how my country(USA) is behaving at the current moment. There is a group of people who will dogmatically follow and worship the words of a decaying septuagenarian, mostly to preserve the fantasy that life could return to simplicity and whiteness. They're so desperate to see this world, that they're willing to stop taking necessary medicines or just flat out inject bleach in their eyeballs.

I came into this video with an earnest curiosity about this writer's POV, like maybe he has some valid criticisms, and then we get to "turd eater", "living in a nonstop orgy" and describing what sounds like a disabled child as a monster and I was just like "ohhh... oh, you have no idea what you're talking about..."

Conservatives: every military man loves war! General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower: Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. . . . This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron

I find it especially ironic that he'd name a character hell bent on preserving "western culture" Constantine Dragasis because if he even took a cursory glance at the west's history of interaction with the Byzantine empire then perhaps he'd have seen the sacking of Constantinople by the 4th crusade, and the total refusal of the west to come to any meaningful aid of the Byzantines unless they accepted unification and subjugation by the Church in Rome, which the later emperors even attempted, all to for absolutely zero help to ever materialise... Fast forward 400 years later and when Greece finally did get independence we got a Bavarian prince imposed as a monarch... I really wish these idiots would stop trying to claim Greece as their cultural antecedent then treating us as a neocolonial plaything to be dictated to

As a french follower, I can tell you that your prononciation of french names is awful, but not as much as my prononciation of english names. As for Jean Raspail, no, it's not ironic, it's pretty much a kind of manifesto for his ideas. He is a royalist reactionnary, he is involved in the formation of far right medias, and a proud member of the "Parti des forces nouvelles", a neofascist micro-party close to Marine le Pen's Rassemblement National. He is exactly what he seems to be: an ultrareactionnary scumbag. The thing is, he is also a recognized writer, with an audience into a more mainstream right media (he publised tribunes in the big right-wing journal "Le Figaro", to rant about immigration mostly). We seem to have a real problem of semi-mainstream authors with overt far-right political opinions here, I'm afraid.

It deals a lot with discrimination, the complicated role religion plays in people's lives, and has a hell of a lot of brief queer insights that are really surprising and interesting for a book published by a white guy in 1995

19:06 I'm starting to think this book thinks the solution to every problem is murder. I could, for example, have trouble opening a pickle jar, and in real life I would just wipe of the jar for a better grip, but in this book the solution would somehow involve the death of some innocent random person. Which is a a terribly tragedy, isn't a solution to my problem, and the worst part is I still have no pickles! (it was a dark statement, that last line was to try and make it slightly less dark, I don't even like pickles)

Your point near the end about irony was hanging on my mind the whole time. Like, if the speech by the one named Indian character wasn't surrounded by text explicitly directing it as in support of white supremacy, the whole thing it was saying about people being willing to betray their race for the hope of some meager acceptance by white people sounded like it could have been clipped out of Huey Newton or something. Minus the parts where he says "my people are monstrous" and all that. It would have to be framed as the exact opposite sentiment - that doing such a thing is detrimental to the world instead of a result of proper training - but the phrases used are very... flexible
