Is this actually worth reading or is it just a meme?

Not read it, but it does seem pretty hate-fuelled propaganda samizdat

You're speaking to someone who is reading the Will to Power to remain sane.

Read what you like, anon

I actually read it. It was nothing but juvenile wish fulfillment. Also, if anyone set off as many atomic bombs as they did in that book, Earth would become a radioactive hellhole, where no one could live, so it was incredibly stupid too.

Fake news

The author said the intention of the book was to radicalize people. It was successful in doing this as Timothy McVeigh murdered 168 glowies and was found in possession of pages of this book which he had torn out and kept with him. No information on which pages. If you read the writings of McVeigh, specifically 'on the hypocrisy of war' I think it shows parallels to the arguments found in The Turner Diaries.

A lot of glowies died because of this book lmao.

>>24103138
Oh and to answer your question, no, it isn't worth reading. But think of all those roasted glowies lmao.

The author said it was designed to radicalize readers, but it has sections which justify the murder of conservatives and right-wingers. But supposedly they are the target audience of this book.

Unless your brain is already cooked by /pol/ infographics, this book is a waste of time. It does give a unique look into what white supremacists want though.

>all these Reddit-tier responses
It's not groundbreaking or the best book ever, but it's a pretty interesting and entertaining read, take it from a National Socialist's mouth.

If you know WLP's style of speaking and some of his mannerisms, you'll be able to spot them in some parts of the book. At some points, not that many though, the text comes accross as a little preachy, personally I didn't mind it because I went in expecting as much.

Because the book is written in such a way as to make it resemble a diary, some events or plot points might seem odd, or sudden, or "too easily achieved". I think that might be because the author stuck to the diary entry format in a very consistent way, sometimes at the expense of other parts of the work. So, for example, you might find yourself reading an entry that basically states "and today we convinced this person of this extremely foreign idea and now he's working with us" instead of the entry "breaking character" of the diary and describing the process in more detail.

The Turner Diaries is one of WLP's two most widely known works, the other one being Hunter, which I also consider to be much better. Both Hunter and TTD share the same trait of showing the author's logical thought behind some of the characters' actions. As in, at times some descriptions or solutions or events might strike you as pretty clever or inventive or actually plausible which I think makes for a very interesting read, since you'll have the feeling of reading about something that theoretically could be done. Let's not forget that WLP was an engineer and a very intelligent person, and he approached his writing with that widely known but rarely implemented well mindset of actually trying to think about how a story problem should be solved in the most plausible way. That is one of the reasons why this book, and WLP, were blamed for some of the later real life terrorist attacks and accused of inspiring them, it's because WLP's "mind wargames" resulted in fairly realistic solutions.

I read it in 2020, it is a really entertaining and funny read. Reads like a power fantasy sci-fi. If you align with the character's beliefs it makes for fun reading makes you go "damn I wish this would happen."

It's worth reading if you have a particular intrest in banned/controvercial books or understanding how white natonalist actually feel and what they would really like as their end goal if they got their way.

As far as it as a work of litterature, it's meh.
The prose is competent so it isn't actually painful to read. Not great, but not bad if you ignore the subject matter and just talking about the writting as craft.
Again, not taling about the subject matter but from a story as craft perspective, it has some issues and isn't partiuclarlly good, but not dredfully bad ether.
If you were to ignore the subject matter I would say it's writiing and story telling is around average to slightly below average.

But to finally talk about the elephant in the room, it's the subject matter that is the big deal with this piece. The author HATES almost everyone. The book is centered around that hate, around fantasies about a race war, about what should happen after the one group of people he doesn't totally hate win should do with the people he does hate.
Oh, and the real reason it has been banned so much is because it does indeed have fairly accurate instructions on how to create high explosives and effectively use them in terrorist attacks. While it doesn't go into deep detail, what it does go into is legit.

I listened to the audio book (read by the author himself) because I am a edgelord into banned books. I honestly don't regret my time spent with the book.
If you too are a edgelord or the curious type then it isn't a waste of time.
If you are looking for something that will actually change your mind on anything or is a great work of literature then give it a pass. It isn't interested in being a great work or in persuading people not already on board with what it's preaching.

Those are my thoughts on TTD. It's a actual story that is competently written, though mediocre, and the subject matter is American white nationalist bullshit. That is what you are getting.

WLP believed that his ideas (not exactly National Socialism 1-to-1) and National Socialism had the same ultimate purpose, that's why as long as your ideology also shares this ultimate purpose you can find value in what WLP is saying about the world.

The Turner Diaries is a fun read. It has a rock and roll attitude, but gives you some politics at the same time. I have the audiobook version read by Dr. Pierce himself.

Dr. pierce also wrote Hunter, and it is written much better, but not as fun as The Turner Diaries.

You might wanna try The Brigade by Harold Covington. I liked that book alot (it is part of book series, maybe 5 in total).

Don't listen to the other guy, it's an amazing movie that pays great respect to Saint Mathews, and the FBI-agent is a drug addicted loser with a black girl-boss friend. This movie is on the same level as the Northman. It's a must-watch.
>>
>>24102495
I think it's worth reading if you want to understand the mindset of neo-nazis and their tactics, So ideally even those that oppose the book's message should read it to "know their enemy".

The actual book is fanfiction quality and told me that my "fellow whites" would gladly shoot me in the back if it meant furthering their efforts and literately blame blacks and jews for the crimes neo-nazis committed. Major Freudian slip on the author's part that's extremely telling.

the real question is why only leftists or those extorted by leftists oppose "the nazis"
why does ukraine russia of being "nazis" and "fascists" and why does russia accuse ukraine of being "nazis" and "fascists"? heck even azerbaijan started accusing armenia of being "nazis" and "fascists" while most muslim countries whole-heartedly subscribe to communism even though it contradicts the qur'an
the reality is more simple that you can imagine: everybody opposing "nazis" and "fascists" are just simple criminals, wanting to get something for nothing and angry that there are people who may oppose them (for example to oppose them dealing cocaine or fentanyl etc.), angry to the degree that they may even commit murder
so remember: if anybody condemns nazism, or christianity for that matter, that simply means they are willing to commit murder for the price of a soda pop

George Orwell (who took a fascist bullet in the throat) wrote in 1944 about the word "fascism" being thrown around as a term of abuse. At the time, there were people on the left who said all conservatives are pro-fascist, that British rule in India was the same as Nazism, along with the Boy Scouts, the London Metropolitan Police, and the M.I.5. There were conservatives who said socialism and fascism were the same thing, which was also made in a different angle by communists between 1930-1935 because they didn't like the socialists. Then there were other conservatives who said the USSR and the Third Reich were the same thing, which was also echoed to some extent by anarchists.

There were also people who accused anti-war people during World War II of being fascists, and then those anti-war people accused the people who wanted to fight the Nazis of being fascists.

>Yet underneath all this mess there does lie a kind of buried meaning. To begin with, it is clear that there are very great differences, some of them easy to point out and not easy to explain away, between the régimes called Fascist and those called democratic. Secondly, if ‘Fascist’ means ‘in sympathy with Hitler’, some of the accusations I have listed above are obviously very much more justified than others. Thirdly, even the people who recklessly fling the word ‘Fascist’ in every direction attach at any rate an emotional significance to it. By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come. But Fascism is also a political and economic system. Why, then, cannot we have a clear and generally accepted definition of it? Alas! we shall not get one — not yet, anyway.

Pierce is pretty unclear on his ideaology beyond "nonwhites bad, blacks worse, Jews worst of all." It doesn't make any sense to enter total war with all non whites, especially since at the end they wake the entire world up to the JQ.

Just finished reading it myself. It's as much of a far-right power-fantasy drivel as you can expect.

Lol, I've had this exact idea. Rewrite the book with character development, a more reasonable progression of events, and a more consistent ideology toward how to manage the revolution.
>>
>>24105725
I recently relistened to it, and the purity spiral aspects of The Organization are pretty bad, and Pierce isn't consistent on how to manage conservatives. Sometimes he seems to believe they can be won over or reasoned with, while other times they all deserve to die.
>>
>>24115689
Pierce does address this briefly. He figures the violence and backstabbing us justified because they're fighting for nothing less than the survival of the white race, and because all of the revolutionaries would and do gladly give their lives for the cause. He specifically states early that if they were just fighting for America, or any one country, their tactics wouldn't be worth it.

Some parts are unintentionally pretty funny, overall it's a schizo masturbatory fantasy not unlike the average reddit post about Donald "Orange Daddy" Trump or any of the Q shit that used to be on /pol/.
