Nobody cared about Arabs back then, the Muslim population wasn't nearly as high as it is today. Also India was much shittier back then.

It was written like 45 years ago.

My favorite part is when the one libfag's POC Union buddies lock him in a bathroom and then gang-bang and murder his wife.

I'm glad someone else has noticed this. Why do liberals love this so much? I watched the movie and thought it was generic but it's basically reddit's favorite movie. Is it because the last hope for humanity is a black woman?

Not even then. Even the social consciousness of the idea of "crisis" has been completely diluted. There was a crisis in 2008, there are terrorist attacks, domestic and otherwise, every few months. What even makes for a crisis anymore?

>> No.10885961

>>10885926
You basically answered yourself. Modern perceptions of a 'crisis' are not what this guy means.

Like a World War or Black Plague or peak phosphorous/ oil/ energy, ect.

Something that really strains the system, kills a lot of people. Something like it right around the corner, probably a civil war, considering how every single retard now has an extremely strong black and white political view in the USA.

im definitely in the 'mass-die-off is necessary for quality of life to go up' camp. imo there is a finite amount of happiness in the world.

My guess is technology and automation progress that most human labor is obsolete. After that, that same technology will be used to cull the now usless labor-class and the few millions left can exist for eons with the resources on earth.

Of course, that means me, you and everyone you know will be killed off, but I figure the die-off will actually benefit the elite, just like every other societal collapse or mass die-off in history. Only this will basically be the last one.

I thought it was okay for most of it. I challked up the few awkward parts as being lost in translation.

The part toward the end with the French army tank platoon was pretty bad though. Would have been a better book without the army involved, since one or two tanks with determined crews could have killed every single last person on the India Star. But for some reason they just shoot a handful of people, retreat and get drunk in some guy's house.

It's way different than the Turner Diaries.

If Camp of the Saints were written by the Turner Diaries there would have been scenes of French tankmen cleaning the compacted detrius of docile poo-men from the treads of their tanks, nuclear bombs being dropped on places where white people don't live, Greek fishermen dumping barrels of nerve agent on drowning immigrants, ect. A police captain in NYC heroically executing every black person spotted in a riot.

Camp of the Saints isn't very extreme. Whites are ignorant victims, not reactionary mass-executioners s in this book, opposed to The Turner Diaries.

i agree but you used some pretty bad examples, in camp an army dude rolls over some fag with his tank, and a greek fisherman runs over drowning migrants with his boat.

Guillermo del Toro, who just made a movie about Fucking The Creature From The Black Lagoon To Own The Drumpftards which you might have heard of because it won the Academy Award for Best Picture, directed the film adaptation. He changed the last fertile human from an English man to a black woman.
Draw your own conclusions.
