A. Heinlein writes escapist sci-fi as a way to cope with his postwar trauma. He sadly fantasizes about a world where anyone can learn to think in the right "language," and in doing so achieve an escape from injury, jealousy, wealth inequality, and achieve perfect happiness. It is a world where communal living and distribution of power among the lower classes is not only inevitable, but a self-evident fact that anyone can simply learn to wield.

B. Heinlein experiments with the idea of a modern-day prophet. He raises questions about how society would act, whether it be any different to how they've acted in the past (raising further questions about our supposed "enlightenment"), and what sort of aesthetics arise when thrusting a bona-fide prophet into a commercialized world. He foils his prophet with a synthesized megachurch designed to evoke behemoths of the past.

C. Heinlein reflects on the free love and suffragette movements of the times and synthesizes a theory of human society in which true happiness is achieved by gender fundamentalism and free love. All women including those already happily married (though there are none so happy) should submit to alpha "chads" such as Harshaw or Smith, creating massive, hypergamic male-female orgy cults (with the aforementioned evil commerce church intentionally keeping the count of males higher as a contrast), and those who are jealous or deviant of such must either subsume themselves into the cult or be eradicated by violent means for being a "wrongness."

D. Heinlein is a horny fuck who likes thicc women, corruption, secretaries, and spanking (based).

E. All of the above.

One of my favorite covers ever. Care to explain why your copy has the water tribe symbol from avatar the last airbender on it? Is this an actual cover?

Goyim, I come offering peace and reconciliation.
I will be the first to admit we've gone too far in our efforts to demasculate your pitiable civilization.
Though with our history of unmerited persecution, it seems only sensible that we might err on the side of caution.
Still the fact remains, expansionist Russia and China are at our door step.

We cannot hope to compete with them should we continue to along our current trajectory.
Therefore, we will allow you to spread your deplorable ideas once more. Christianity, gender norms, and yes.. even race realism.
The only catch is that you cannot implicate us in any way.

So whaddaya you say? Do we have a deal?

I didn’t grok it.
>Muslim character is named Stinky
>female character says when rape happens, nine out of ten times it’s a woman’s fault
>homosexual men are misguided and broken
>all while the author goes on and on about love, peace, and fucking your neighbor’s wife in massive orgies
And this is by the same man who wrote Starship Troopers no less. I however did enjoy his portrayal of burgershart Christianity taken to it’s natural endpoint
