The fact that I've heard people unironically call for the Day of the Rope.
That's the ending of the book when the liberals lose power because of all the fucking nukes that the "Heroes" dropped and the "Good White Men" stand up and start lynching all the people who "Let it get so bad" in public. The book even says that many "Innocent" people were killed in the conclusion of it, but the heroes write it off as a "necessary sacrifice for the greater good"
It's full of insanity that feels more like parody, but this is their actual fantasy... A war-torn uninhabitable nuclear wasteland where the survivors just pick non-descript fruit all day.
This is a book where the good guy beats a white teenager to death withe a crowbar because she had the gall to get raped by a black man, and that's obviously her fault.... /s This guy is said to be a calm nerdy type who was liberal all his life too..
It's also said that white feminists legalized rape to promote equality between the sexes, yes I'm not kidding. The whole book is the most fucked up piece of shit I've ever seen in my life.
There's just.. so much wrong with Turner Diaries it makes my spine hurt. It really reads like a cautionary tale about fascism written as an extremely edgy parody of "What Right Wingers actually believe", but... no this book really means that...
Edit: Wait what did he say that had to do with the Turner Diaries.
