The word “fascist” gets thrown around a lot in politics, but it’s hard to find a more apt one for “Unhumans,” which came out last month. The book argues that leftists don’t deserve the status of human beings — that they are, as the title says, unhumans
Didn’t realize this day would ever come, but finally, a book I do support burning.
I know you might be joking for hyperbole, but still. If you burn it, you can’t read what runs through their and their friends’ head, and you lose the historical value of having access to this period’s political pulse later.
And I don’t think these books turn people fascist. They only consolidate them.
If we want to stop fascism, part of the solution is stopping the root of the problem, where people become fascists. And our best bet on that is understanding.
If the right people read their playbooks, then it can greatly empower them to fight back. As they know their every move and can call out exactly what they’re doing. I personally believe knowledge can counter this kind of thing, and I think more people reading it under the pretense that it’s a fascist playbook would hurt the Republican cause the most.
Don’t be ludicrous.
Burn the person who wrote it.
As hard as it will be, I think it better to read it to better understand my enemy.
