This book needs more critical reviews from the right. If you check my bookshelf you'll see I don't care much for pointless "optics" but at the same time there's really no benefit to just trying to be edgy and alienate everyone who touches the book.

I've seen other reviewers complain about the caricatures of the non-main characters, but the main characters are just as badly caricatured. It is beyond obvious that the author has contempt for anything resembling genuine faith or religion and it show more makes me ponder when so many faithless people started considering themselves "rightwing," but that's a whole separate discussion... In short I will point out how contradictory it is to be rightwing when your personal belief system/ worldview only leads to inevitable nihilism or hedonism. Morality is the foundation on which rightwing principles are built on. I digress...

As other reviews have said, it is poorly written, the story is spoon-fed to the reader as if the reader has the intellectual ability of an ape or lower, and yet the story itself is at times interesting and compelling. The cognitive dissonance of characters like Eve does exist, but is also quite rare in reality. Seriously, people who see all women like that need to get offline, the internet is where all the worst people gather.

There are many real and big problems in society, but ecology and sociology are largely, by natural design, self-correcting in time. The only useful things we can do are things to minimize the damage, reduce the reach of negative propaganda, and remember that "Every act of beauty is a revolt against the modern world." We can also spread positive propaganda, which does not look like this, but rather "love your people" or stuff like that. Books and stories like this make for an interesting fiction, but as far as real life solutions go, this ain't it chief. show less

This is a fairly terrifying book with assassination politics, modern social media, conspiracies and false flags, and stand-ins for various existing groups (the far right, antifa, Epstein, etc). Mostly interesting as speculation about a possible dystopian future as a way to describe the present and hopefully change course.
