> The Turner Diaries is a novel by Andrew Mac Donald (William Pierce) that follows the story of a man named Turner, a member of a revolutionary organization that is fighting against the oppressive System. Turner and his comrades use acts of terror, sabotage, and violence to fight against the System, and they eventually succeed in overthrowing it. The novel follows Turner's journey as he and his comrades struggle to survive and fight against the System, and it also explores the themes of racism, civil rights, and the power of the government. The novel ultimately conveys the message that violence and terror can be used to fight against oppressive systems, but that it should be done with caution and with a clear understanding of the consequences.

Does an interesting and good job are presenting the problem with summarization. You read this and you might think The Turner Diaries where a Star Wars adventure story about fighting an evil empire.



This is a completely reasonable and insightful comment.Along with any comments critical of Kagi, it is downvoted to oblivion. I have to say the way Kagi shills overwhelm any discussion on HN is incredibly frustrating. They hijack every thread. They even post about HN being their main source of customers. They have hacked HN, no two ways about it.

For anyone who might feel I am being unreasonable or that this post was somehow wrong-headed, this is Wikipedia's description of The Turner Diaries.

"The Turner Diaries is a 1978 novel by William Luther Pierce, published under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald. It depicts a violent revolution in the United States which leads to the overthrow of the federal government, a nuclear war, and, ultimately, a race war which leads to the systematic extermination of non-whites. All groups opposed by the novel's protagonist, Earl Turner—including Jews, non-whites, "liberal actors", and politicians—are murdered en masse."

The commenter was reasonable.
