Hadn't visited my parent's house in over a year for obvious reasons. When I got there today I couldn't help but notice this book facing outwards on my dad's bookshelf. Obviously he was fucking with me.
It's written by some fox news guy who thinks that Marxists are taking/already have taken over the country (tho he's just playing to the swine right? He's gotta know this is uhh not even close to true). I love how christian conservatives, who control almost every lever of power, do this weird projection thing where they are the victims and the true oppressors are a group that has literally zero power.
Chances that this guy has actually read any Marx beyond the communist manifesto are slim to none but I reeeally can't be bothered to do any hate reading about this fox news chud.
Opened to a random page and he of course mentions antifa and blm and calls marx a utopianist (?)
These types of books are grown up versions of fairytales and feel good confirmation belief material. They already agree with everything the book is gonna say, none of it is particularly different than what they already know or have been told to believe, but maybe the author uses a few new buzzwords that fire off endorphins when reading to make the reader feel like they're actually learning something.
I use to hate read Ron Paul awhile back and to be truthful it was a bit interesting for a short while. But it became such a drag real quick with how repetitive it got in the belief that the government shouldn't do anything cause all people are somehow inherently able to become well off enough with their own two hands, which, even around 2006 or so when I read it was obviously not true. It just sorta drones on about the same few topics but in different scenarios. Not a fan of hate reading nonsense like that anymore. But skimming a few pages and laughing is always fun while it lasts.
