Paid $40 for this. Did i get ripped off?

>> No.9382233

yes, because those kind of "new york times bestseller list" bait political books always have huge amounts of "remainders" which end up on ebay or other places for pennies, that goes for shit both on the right and crap like hagiographies of hillary clinton

Coulter-lite.

It's interesting to me that both women and gay men found out they could get heaps of attention for saying incredibly stupid, far-right nonsense for the sole reason that it's not expected to exist within their politics.

It's like a fourth grader saying "the F-word" because he knows it'll shock the class and give him notoriety.

Doesn't help that we've actively aided our nominal gulf petrostate allies spread salafism across the MENA, where they actively fight to crush and persecute native sufi/secular denominations of islam that have coexisted with local non-muslims for centuries

The whole spectacle of neurotic 'campus activists' and unfunny 'right wing' shock jocks has been exploited and monetized to hell and back. You can make a decent living by 'triggering' 'SJWs'. By this point this is yet another simulacrum with only a vague connection to 'reality'.

??? I'm looking at his Twitter TL right now and he's retweeting Breitbart clone videos about pakistani suicide bombers and also having a minor tantrum over the fact that Richard Spencer got his speaking gig cancelled. Are we talking about the same guy?

But yeah. I've spent enough time on campus to know that salafists and orthodox, racist sunnis do exist and that the secular/agnostic/shia muslims that I got drunk, crossdressed and ate during ramadan with hate their fundie guts and are afraid of the rise of groups back home like hizb-ut tahrir

And it's not just republicans vulnerable to this shit - some of the wokest campus identity politicians turn a blind eye to conservative islamists (who are, by the way, some of THE most racist and bigoted people you will find on the planet) either out of fear of potentially giving aid to the right, or just out of fear of being called a racist. If anything, I hate the idpol #STILLWITHHER liberals for being so clownishly awful on uniformly fighting for human rights while expending 4-6 years of political oxygen during a democratic presidency on bullshit like microaggressions
