It's a fascists idea of a fascist society. Or a weird turbo-libertarian's idea of a cool society that is good, which ultimately is just a fascist society.

One must approach Heinlein's writing with the knowledge that he is a hugely illiterate reactionary dork making a complete fool of himself for hundreds of pages at a time.

The book is only interesting because it's embedded in 20th century American society. It is, or was, required reading for us marine corps officers.

I'm so sorry you were forced to read an extremely mediocre book. They truly do not care about the welfare of our Marines.

Who is they? We certainly don't care about the welfare of our marines. May they join their comrades in Davy Jones embrace, and soon. rat-salute-2

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
