The Camp of the Saints, An Introduction to the Worst Book
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- The reason this is an introduction rather than a review is that, while other novels I’ve covered have been light reads, this is a denser text. So much denser that it would require a very deep critical dive to do it justice. It’s written with a great degree of care and skill, and is also completely horrific in how it sees the world. If there’s enough demand, I may have to do a follow-up video offering a deeper reading, and a look at how this text has impacted the immigration debate over the decades. Let me know in the comments if you’d like to see that!
This video probably would have been more timely two years ago, when the Syrian refugee crisis was in full swing, but I suspect we’ll be hearing about it again if Climate Change has a similar impact on the movement of people.
There’s some light religion talk in this one, and none of it is designed to offend. I’m talking about a very specific branch of Christianity, and while I couldn’t quite find which denomination it was (I've since been told his rhetoric most closely aligns with the Society of Saint Pius X, although he isn't a member), I am not trying to present this book’s vision of Christianity as mainstream.
Finally, I don’t remember if I mentioned it in the video, but I did not purchase this book, so no money went to Jean Raspail. Hooray!

I'd like to pretend the mistimed beep at 11:18 was a deep artistic statement about the futility of trying to censor one's own work. But it was just a silly editing mistake that snuck into the very last version of this video. It just wouldn't be a José video without at least one silly editing mistake, and I'm just glad this one is harmless!
Hey, question. The video thumbnail said that this was an introduction to the worst book. Does this mean that you plan to cover this book more in the future?
I assumed "muddled" was just some kind of insult or slur in another part of the world
@@captaintomato5433 I'm considering a follow-up, it depends on what sort of script I can put together and what sort of demand there might be.
@@JoseBird There is another book, similar though not the same, called When It Was Dark by. Guy Thorn. Another weird right-wing hyper Christian text that seems to have the same level of paranoia and conspiracy mongering, but, it seems, from what you said about this book, it also has that strange attribute of being an almost inverted critique of its own premises when you get to the end; strange that such books can't help but be so crazed as to underhandedly refute themselves.

"Every military man loves war!" - Definitely the words of someone who's never fought.
The military officers at the the top of the food chain certainly love authoritarian men or woman, they are more than happy to overthrow the democracies of their own countries for it, the foot soldiers are other thing, is a more muddle shades of grey field. Historically always have been this way. The only place were exist moral military officers are in fiction, because in the real world, everyone bend the knee.
"definitely the words of someone who's never fought" said someone who has never been in a fight before ironically.
@@the4thindustrialrevolution225 you think being in a fight makes you knowledgeable about what war is like…? I can’t even comprehend how unbelievably stupid this is

“Atheists deep down believe in god”
Hell! This reminds me of God’s Not Dead, where the atheist dies, finally believing god, and the Christians around him see this as a GOOD THING, as he’s breathing his final breath!!
Then they go to a big Christian concert and absolutely vibe after watching a man die.
There IS a phenomenon called like... rainbow soldiers or something. Where the saying "There are no atheists in a foxhole" applies
But there's also people who lose their faith in battle, so maybe the whole thing is just bullshit tribalism
thats what i thought of too
That's generally true, as far as it goes, in the sense that the dominant religious views of your culture will always influence you on an unconscious level even if you don't agree with them consciously.
You forgot the reveal where said atheist is _actually_ just hating god because his mom died!
God I fucking hate that movie more the more I think about it.
Gotta agree with Jose about respecting propaganda that isn’t shy about being propaganda.
It’s like when fascists call themselves fascists. They’re still bad, but at least they’re not cowards
I’ve always been in the camp that socialists should never pretend to be centrists. Then we just hide behind masks like the fascists. If we truly believe our ideas, then we don’t have to play pretend about them.
I doubt José actually respects the propaganda itself in any significant amount, rather just the act itself of not trying to hide itself. The propaganda really doesn't deserve overall respect just for a single aspect of it.
Thomas Urech besides people are gonna call you a socialist anyway if you promote economic equality, might as well preempt it
Thomas Urech so true. This is needed especially because I believe it may lead to the creation of a 3rd party to combat the dem/rep monopoly not that Green Party bs.
I tried reading this book once, because I had heard it was influential. But I couldn’t finish it. 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.
Yeah I just finished it after months of on and off reading. There is nothing about it which is notable enough to finish, just a depressing read that is venomously hateful.
@Cole S translation. I don’t mean to say it was horribly written or anything. Perhaps I shouldn’t of said Poorly, itjust kind of reminded me of Celine but know where near as good.
I enjoyed reading Camp of the Saints.

Thought Slime did a great video about another fascist fanfiction.
Don't Fret Marcus, it isn't a coincidence it is just that racist morons are just incredibly uncreative and lazy. Their brains were probably in overdrive trying to think of a good name like "The Village".
Don't forget, it's also almost exclusively populated with old people.
Hey I live in Florida but have never heard about this
Can you please explain
bruh why do neo nazi authors give things in their books the most boring names?
turner diaries: the book, the system, the organization
camp of the saints: the village
I would say because they are meant to be metaphors for all of civilization, but that would mean the authors had an IQ above 6.
Because if they have them any more specific names, then it would give them an identity beyond just being nebulous forces of evil or good.
It reminds me of Crackdown. Agent of the Agency named Agent in Pacific City.
There's a group called the base. In fact two of them.
It's almost as if one facet of the fascistic mentality is a tendency toward remarkably reductive and uncreative thinking.
This is a very confusing thing. Christianity has a very specific stance towards charity. Selfishness is effectively murder. It's like they love Ayn Rand but also love the self-righteousness that is associated with the most unaware of Christians.
They only love the things about Christian history that run counter to the spirit of Christianity. They despise actual charity, mercy, and humility. They care nothing about silence and repentance. But they love kings and gilt and "holy war".
Extremely devout right-wing Christians like the idea of charity but not the practice. Mostly due to their belief that their own wealth and success is god-given and the poor’s lack thereof is also god’s will.
"Who is my neighbor?"
@@Mordrevious They absolutely love charity - as long as they can deduct it from their taxes,[*] and then use those very tax claims to prove that they're the most charitable.
[*] Thus sticking the taxpayer with the bill. Which would be totally fine by me - if we could just cut out the middleman, tax the rich directly, and allocate the tax money properly to begin with.
As with every single other religion, philosophy or ideology, there are two sides - the side that is about all-inclusive solidarity and wishes to abolish the divisions between us that pit us against one another, and the side that is about dividing "us" vs "them" and asserting power and dominion over the designated "them" or just "getting rid of" them. Which side will win out? The side that is fed.
Video postscript: This is the book Lauren Southern cites as her favorite book (she may be the person most closely associated with this book at the moment). She mentioned it in quite a few of her videos, and has stated it had the biggest influence on her political/social views, why she became an activist and why her mission as an activist was to pretty much exclusively to spread the Great Replacement consipracy.
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. I wouldn't be surprised if she came out and said her second favorite book was the Turner Diaries...

dmore454 Of course this is her favorite book.
Lauren simmonsen... She's a J pretending to be a whitey
That's why it was familiar
@Lucius Sulla No one here said that population demographics aren't changing.
For the great replacement to be true one has to accept many assumptions: the change is intentional, that the change is a problem, that race isn't a social construct, that whiteness is a purity that other races dirty, that America is a white country, that white people should only be in relationships with white people, that a change in skin color changes one's history.

It's too bad this guy wasn't creative enough to use his fear and disgust for The Other to make something cool, like Lovecraft did
The fear of the Other is inherently reactionary and completely ahistorical. If we gave into that fear most other ethnic groups and most animal species would be dead
@uwau,
Yes, but Lovecraft himself would have thought you were insane if you told him that you believed that Cthulhu was real.
@uwau "even whites, if they weren't from his hometown." - He was hung up about specific ethnic groups, probably the immigrants of his day. I think he had a short story in which some sketchy immigrants broke into a cursed house and got their comeuppance (An Italian, a Portuguese, and a Romanian walk into a haunted house...).
I like to say he wasn't a white nationalist, because he wasn't that inclusive.
@@davidm1926 White isolationist. They're the same but without the ability to play team sports
@Hans Hanzo Would you say that he was a... bundle of issues shambling around in a roughly bipedal approximation of a man?
The book sounds so blatantly aggressive and backwards I keep assuming it was written in the colonial era like the 1800s but then modern things crop up like radio shows and the Air Force and I’m reminded that this was written in the 1970s.
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.
Raspail was clearly prophetic and had the right kind of eyes to analyze the seeds of modern anti-white leftists and the swarming invasion from Africa and all other 3rd world shitholes.
and yet its coming true.
@@SeasideDetective2 primitive books are.more.true because they reflect a primitive nature. Modernity has provided comforts that made us forget our true nature.

It saddens me to see how the rich culture of India- with all its philosophies, religions, architectures etc.- gets reduced to Kalkutta, or more specifically, the slums of Kalkutta.
And it treats the people of those slums as little more than animals, rather than people with motivations, goals, beliefs.

Man for people who love to decry Islam as a death cult, they sure love writing about their own death cults.
That's more Nu-Atheist morons, Nazis LOVE the death cult part of radical Islam
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 No they don't, you're basing that off some pretty limited Muslim engagement with the nazis in the Balkans by some Albanian and Bosnians and a bit of sympathy from some Arab nationalists. Thats it. They actually had far more engagement from Catholics. The nazis had as much respect for Islam as they did for Christianity at the core of their ideology, which was zero. Their end goal was aryan neo paganism, they were just pragmatic when it came to getting help here and there for their genocidal lebensraum plans.
@@nektarios5291 Wut? I'm making a joke about fascists being moronically suicidal. And I see Nazis occasionally jerk off radical Islam (not the Sunni or Shia variants mind you) when they want to be sexist and Anti-Semitic, though they also pass around the "grooming gang" myth.
@@nektarios5291 Yes, a lot of it was political expediency. 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.

I finally feel represented in a Jose video!
You know one of the major reasons Watchmen is so cool? Alan Moore really gets you in the head of a violent Crypto-fascist and is able to make you understand him. There's nothing more boring than political literature where the author thinks everybody secretly believes the same thing they do.
It's hard to see Rorscach as a fascist, though. A fascist demands absolute obedience to authority, and Rorscach is clearly breaking the law and winds up in jail because of it. What's more, a fascist characteristically believes in some great phenomenon outside of himself: his country, his religion, his race, etc. Rorschach doesn't believe in anything beyond his private resentment of sexual deviants, which he feels not because of moral outrage, but just because he was an illegitimate child and his mommy slapped him one time.
Pretty sure Rorschach is supposed to be an example of how the poor are left to rot and turn to violence to preserve themselves. He's literally a homeless man whose life has been ruined by drug abuse and poverty, leaving him with no view of the world but through hatred, fear, and cynicism. He's even put in prison under false circumstances after being literally framed by a rich man.
@@SeasideDetective2 Fascists don't believe in absolute authority to the state, at least not inherently, it's all about the dynamic with the in-group and out-group, that then uses the state as a means of achieving hegemony, by that logic the Nazi party wasn't fascist because they were militant way before they took power. Hell, even Hitler got arrested
@@SeasideDetective2 Seconding Some dude here. Fascism isn't loyalty to a specific authority or even ideal. It's loyalty to the methodologies of violence, which is why there are both leftist and right-wing fascists, and why it's so difficult to define fascism in a society brainwashed in the global service of and desensitized to, violence.
It's defined by the mob, the bully, the narcissist. "Might makes right" and where individual strength is flagging, the individual seeks the power of the mob and the cultivator of the power of the mob seeks worship versus understanding so as to maintain a safe distance from even the appearance of momentary criticism or human vulnerability.
Even racism is a front for a far more insidious attitude of supremacy that begins to seep into the minds of every pre-verbal child in this toxic civilization when they first start to hear the words "stupid", "ugly" or "gross". All of it invokes the indigenous critique, which is exactly what fascists seek to silence.
I could go on...

PlatinumAltaria the Old Testament is certainly authoritarian in the laws section, but also has a lot of messages about loving the stranger for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. The New Testament, especially in the book of acts was about the apostles (apart from Jesus’s brother who was the leader of the Jerusalem branch and stayed “Jewish”) breaking down the strict Jewish traditions and opening up to non Jews, also the early church (before Rome got its hands on it) was very communistic in how it redistributed wealth in the communities, if I remember right the whole “from each according to his ability to each according to his needs” was inspired by words from the book of acts, Acts 4:32-35 was a big inspiration for early proto-left wing movements like the Taborites, to write the whole bible off as fascistic is a very surface level analysis (no disrespect intended), rather the prime message is about humility and charity, remember when the Pharisees try catching Jesus out and ask him what the greatest commandment is, his response sums up what being “Abrahamic” should be about

Is or was? I have a hard time imagining the Camp of Saints being a popular work or seen as literary classic by the mainstream in modern day France. Also we know who wrote the Turner Diaries. It was William Pierce, an infamous American Neo Nazi.
Anton Fleck,
The Turner Diaries, from what I've heard about it, is even worse than the Camp of Saints, believe it or not.
It's very telling that for both this novel and for "The Turner Diaries" (as covered by Thought Slime) that the main characters die as martyrs that are meant to inspire the reader. They are cruel, narrow minded characters who murder a lot of innocent people before dying and the expectation is that they are meant to be heroes worth emulating.
It's a very, very ugly mentality.
In another context, one would think that the authors were righteous mujahideen, espousing the martyrdom of jihad against the pale-skinned Frankish infidel
The point is that the outcomes will be worse if the individuals don’t act. These critiques are very retarded.
They are heroes though
If the Turner Diaries were a person, it would be the guy at work that everybody knows is most likely to do a mass shooting and whose hygiene is very debatable. Camp of the Saints knows how to put on a respectable face when necessary.
Imagine describing hordes of rapists and murderers who loot everything they see as "innocent"

So yeah as for the favorite book it is a French book that fortunately is not whatever this is. It is The Little Prince and I genuinely recommend it to everyone. It is a book that you maybe heard about but never read and you definitely should. It is short, like 70 pages, but my god is it beautiful.
The thing I find fascinating is that when non fascists write about fascism (Warhammer 40k, Starship Troopers) it’s a version about solidarity, Humanity overcoming any obstacle. Unfortunately real fascism is just sad people, locked in a bunker, hating everyone outside it as they lose a war they started.
Warhammer 40k and Starship Troopers (the movie and the animated cartoon) are satires, parodies of fascist and right-wing policies and ideas, it funny that some of the hardcore white nationalist fans of Warhammer 40k love the Empire unironically and not realise that is a satire of their beliefs.
@@TheKeyser94 The fact that the very fascistic Empire is also the closest to a big good WH4K have is also used to cement the fact that this universe is extremely shitty.
@@NIHIL_EGO nah the orcs are the "best" because atleast they have fun
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.
Exactly. I used to think that, for instance, how the Galactic Empire in Star Wars is portrayed was very “irreal and without nuance”. The last 5 years convinced me that it might be the most realistic thing in Star Wars. 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. Now I get it, fascists are very fucking dumb actually, cartoonishly dumb. Like H*tler liked to nickname himself “The Wolf”, what a massive dork.
Scared of foreigners. Scared of the poor. Scared of the unfortunate. And terrified of the prospect of having to live with people who might challenge their worldview and sense of dominance.
These books are written by cowards.

For a book like this, using a bible quote is quite odd, I guess the guys Christian but still, the bibles position on migration is literally the opposite of this guys ideas, Idk how he could use a quote from the bible unironically.
When has the Biblical position being in direct contrast to the right's interpretation of the Bible stopped them before?
Christians and people who claim to be christian have been using the bible for that sort of thing for almost as long as the book has existed. The bible says "slaves obey your master," so it must think that slavery is OK, even though it doesn't say that slavery is good and even if it did the form of slavery at the time it was written was different.
The bible caries a lot of power, and for much of western civilization, and in many ways even now if you wanted to make an argument having the bible agree with it was vital to actually spreading it.
What's important to understand, and what you clearly do, is that just because someone says the bible says something doesn't mean that it does.
@@andscifi you're wrong there was chattel slavery in the bible, you're confusing how Israelites should treat fellow Israelis under their law and how they should treat outsiders.
No it isnt odd at all. The catholic church has a long tradition of being the gate keeper of knowledge. Cherry picking whatever served themself - like making up rules about 40 days of fastimg where you should eat fish ... and the church just happened to be heavily invested in the fish industry. Context was irrelevant because the peasants couldnt check. They just had to believe what they were told. Even if they could read, they neither had access to literature nor could read latin in which most important stuff was written.
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 bible is very contradictial, also in this aspect
When is this book set? That old french professor apparently joined the KKK and the Civil war, was still in fighting shape during the Mahdi Rebellion (1890s), but then we discover that the Enola Gay pilot died of old age by the time of the book? Is he more than a hundred years old and still not completely senile? Wtf?
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
I think Thomas Urech is right in that it's mostly fantasy, but I think there's also supposed to be an element of emblematic Symbolism. Old French Man is briefly being an avatar of the Western Soldier the book keeps talking about, and in that moment, he's talking about being the Western Soldier in all the ways the Western Soldier killed non-whites.

The degree of vitriol and idiocy inherent in such a forcefully-written text is just horrifying.

@TheAmarican you complain about the book being racist, yet your last phrase is racist.
18:48 It's amazing how even in their own fan fictions a Nazi's conscience is screaming at him to stop. Even within the logic of their own worlds, where fascism is supposedly glamorized, they're written as doing something indefensible on even the most basic, human level.
They don't see that as "conscience," though. They see it as sentimental weakness.
The reason mainstream people talk about this book still is the lack of a certain four-letter word.
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.
Are you suggesting that if *a million people* suddenly enter a country with the area, population and population density of France, it wouldn't make a noticeable impact on the social infrastructure? Because it really obviously would.
@@patavinity1262
I'm saying it's impact would not be dramatic. Not in the way the novel/Right-wingers suggest. Society wouldn't fall. It would change, but keep on going.
Imagine, well, anything with say 300 members. A school system, a job, a theater group. Add five or six people to that group. How devastated is it? How irrevocably changed is it? Sure it would be awkward at first if they didn't speak the language or had different customs. But they would adapt soon enough. People conform to the larger culture, that's why regional culture is so slow to change.

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.

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.

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.

I’ve read them both and I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that while Jose’s criticism of the book is completely accurate it’s still a much more competent piece of literature over the Turner Diaries. It isn’t a good book, but the Turner Diaries is pathetically bad when it comes to any standard of Aesthetics.
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..."
I knew Camp of the Saints was bad, I never realized it was that bad. From the (unflattering) description given in the book, it seems like "Turd-Eater's" son is physically disabled. So lets throw casual ableism to the pile of disgusting stuff in this book.

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.

The book is right about mass migration and the need to preserve ones own culture and people. Look at the Native Americans and tell me how mass migration worked out great for them. Did the mass migrants enrich their lands and culture and their society? No they got wiped out to tiny populace in a tiny land. Mass migration without restraints is stupid and anyone who thinks it enriches their country is only accelerating the wiping out of their culture and people. Just like the native Americans who got wiped out, mass migration will wipe out socities and culture that are outnumbered. The book is only written from the perspective of a white person, but every one wants to preserve their culture and people regardless of race or colour.

The thing that really gets me about the xenophobia in France and the UK is that the people they try to kick out, the people they treat as subhuman are almost always people from the places France and the UK colonized. They stole these people's resources, land, language, culture, often their lives, and now the formerly colonized go to the colonized nation looking for better lives and they just get shit on.

I'd argue that the game of empires succeeded quite well for the few who won it. A small band of bandit empires gorges and gluts themselves on the resources and blood of weaker or more trusting nations as they pillage and rampage their way across the globe, building a parasitic relationship of a mafia and their victims. 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. How far would the human race have come had the zeal in the age of discovery had been for sharing the precious science and education with the world instead of the destruction of culture after culture that instead could have spent their time contributing to the full potential of humanity instead of suffering beneath the whips of slavers and imperialistic leeches?

My favorite book is probably The Life and Times of The Wicked Witch of The West by Gregory Maguire also know as the book the hit musical Wicked is based on.

Too bad every supposedly big gay work of fiction always has despicable main characters.
