authors/writers you hate with a passion?

[superunknown23]

Larry Elder

I remeber when I was younger, my mom worked at a bookstre and she used to bing home ALL kind of advanced copies of books. One time she brought this book home

I remember reading some of that shyt with the face. If I remember correctly, all he was doing was blaming black men for all the problems we encounter. That nikka didn't seem like "one of us" I put that shyt down with the quickness.

When I got older I learned that this nikka was a certified c00n extraordinaire and that he even had a book called Stupid Black MenTill this day I'm mad my momma brought that book home. That shyt could have corrupted my mind and had me c00ning

He's c00nism personified

I don't read, I just wait for the good books to be made into movies.

you need to get your head in the game, son.

I have a love-hate relationship with Dean Koontz books. On one hand, his work is full of nauseating, sappy self-righteous religious/libertarian propaganda. On the other hand, he writes some pretty good easily digestible horror, suspense, and sci-fi books. I guess this is kinda how conservatives feel about a lot of their favorite left wing actors and musicians.

Meh. I enjoy plenty of media created by right wing goobers of all eras. Like i was telling @daze23 yesterday I dont ever feel like have to align my political place with the art I enjoy, execution and aesthetic matter to me more than ideology. But I understand that hypocritical feeling of discomfort. I think Starship Troopers was the first book to make me feel like that.

Youll pick it up when you're out. You might also find that a lot of the books you thought were shyt in high school and college were worth the hype.

I guess its not the person really. Its the books/their body of work.

Theres no way reading Marx doesnt make you a little

Ayn Rand too, her positions are fine, but her delivery

Ayn Rands positions you gotta be motherless to enjoy that sandy c*nts trash. I can fukk with Friedman and hell even occasionally Hayek just for shyts and giggles but Rand? She's the Daylyt of philosophy. No class.

Her positions weren't realistic or remotely tenable, but she wasn't wrong

Yeah I feel the same way. It's just that dude's work has gotten increasingly overtly right wing in his old age. I still like reading his books but it's gotten a bit off-putting.

His libertarians views were always present in his work, but it was more thinly veiled and subtle. Like for instance, the protagonist would be up against a shadowy quasi-legal government entity that would break peoples' constitutional rights with illegal searches, detainments, etc. It would have clear political subtexts without being preachy.

In recent years, a lot of his shyt has started to read like it came from an educated angry old teabagger with more overt propaganda, more pro-religious messages, and this overall tone of how the greatness of western civilization is under attack on some Odyssey/Michael Savage shyt.

He had one book where this brilliant black genius mathematician had been working with the government on some secret discovery involving a new animal species, and the big reveal was that the government and scientific community are having a paradigm shift on the origins of life because it's clear that evolution is not mathematically possible.

A few scientists wrote articles shytting on it after it came out. I don't know how someone that smart can be that dumb. He also had another book back in like 2005 or so where some character went on a spiel about how global warming is a conspiracy by climate scientists. That was the point where his books started to go from thinly veiled libertarian messages to having elements of right wing and religious propaganda that wasn't really veiled at all. Now a lot of his books where the antagonists are evil sociopaths who are in some way trying to control society in order to "progress" it, with the anti-Marx/anti-progressive themes being about as subtle as an Oliver Stone movie.

Hard to argue about philosophies being wrong but I can't respect any human being that urges everyone to hyperfocus on themselves. That's not the right attitude to build a life or community on, imo. Its easy and natural to be a selfish prick. That doesn't mean it's an ideal

It seems callous at a glance, but ultimately the human interactions you would like to see would occur out of a need to further ones self. She delivered the message poorly, now self interest benefiting "the collective" is seen as code, for "f*ck poor people".

Nobody is denying that people do things that are nice for other people and ultimately themselves.

I refuse to have another debate about altruism with libertarians though. We all know how fruitful that will be

Breh you should stay away from John McWhorter then too. I started his book 'Losing the Race' and I think it's been the only book I started and couldn't finish, even begrudgingly. I think he's been a black conservative voice for Fox News a few times too, though not to the extent that Elder has. I'm all up for a conversation on ways the black community needs to change but if you come with the position that 400 years of history and lingering (or active) racist tendencies have NO effect on us, I can't even entertain it.
