A disturbing book plans a ruthless total war against the “unhuman” left.

A friend read this and told me the term unhumans refers to human beings that arent white. Because they arent human, they deserve no human rights.

Apparently socialists (particularly communists) and progressive liberals aren’t white. From the very beginning of the introduction:

This is not a book about communist ideology. You’ve read those. This is a book about the communist reality—and how to tell when it’s coming to a society near you.

History does not repeat, but it rhymes. For as long as there have been beauty and truth, love and life, there have also been the ugly liars who hate and kill. This is the way of things in all things. There is light and there is dark. Always has been. Always will be. Civilization is the superstructure built on law and order that keeps the petty, the resentful, and the cruel away from the rest of us. Some societies have been better at this than others. Those who fail at repelling the repulsive fall to unhumanity—to a state of affairs in which human thriving is impossible and surviving improbable.

It doesn’t matter what you call these the people of anti-civilization. They will change their name, shape, and form as needed and for their own purposes in their unique time and place. For the last couple centuries, we’ve known them as communists. Socialists, with extra steps. And of course, leftists. Radicals and revolutionaries as well. A hundred years ago, Marxist Leninists, then more recently, Cultural Marxists. Even as, without irony and not as a joke, “progressives.” For the purposes of this book, we will call them the unhumans. This is a book about unhumans, and this is what they do: With power, unhumans undo civilization itself. They undo order. They undo the basic bonds of society that make communities and nations possible. They destroy the human rights of life, liberty, and property—and undo their own humanity in the process by fully embracing nihilism, cynicism, and envy.

As usual, first they came for the Communists.

Jesus fucking Christ. It takes a supreme level of hate and vitriol to label a person with different values unhuman.

Dehumanizing one’s target is a fascist’s first step on the path to the gas chambers.

You're exactly right, and I hate it.

Literally dehumanizing a shadowy other, just like the Nazis did.

it's so bizarre that the context makes it clear that this is bad; but that's exactly what they're doing.

If Trump leave office before the end of his term, this guy gets the office.

The USA elected a group of facist into office, and would have to vote the whole group out.

Which unfortunately will only serve to push them further into their delusion - see their "Iron Law of Exact Reciprocity".

We know! We all know! The problem is a good chunk of people support it, and a bafflingly large chunk don't care

JD Vance is a chud who has been groomed to be this trendy "leader of the alt-right" when in reality he doesn't seem geninue. This dude denounced Trump publicly, never apologized to him or said he was wrong, and was just installed as Trump's VP.

I believe he is not geninue but rather a career opportunist, groomed by Thiel and others.
