A racist screed and totalitarian fantasy by Tom Kratman that huge into "Eurabia" conspiracy theories.Whats Caliphate?
Ok second question, what's "Eurabia"? Some sort of Far-RIght conspiracy that the Arabs are gonna take over Europe or some crap?A racist screed and totalitarian fantasy by Tom Kratman that huge into "Eurabia" conspiracy theories.
Yup. Because they "breed faster" since these kids these days have "abandoned traditional values".Ok second question, what's "Eurabia"? Some sort of Far-RIght conspiracy that the Arabs are gonna take over Europe or some crap?

Like I said it was quite a lot to read. Here's the TV Tropes page for the book if you want to learn more without having to actually read the thing.Oh Gods... there is not enough eyeroll for that sorta crap view.
From the man who brought us:I already know what this is going to be about.
"The Whites were pure and noble heroes and none of them hated the Jews or did pogroms (but they should have because the Jews are whiners anyway) and also anything I don't like is COMMUNISM!!!"
With Kratman, you kinda know the sort of crazy you're getting into when you see his name on the cover.
”I have no doubt but that, had we won the war and some of the Reichsheini's wilder schemes for a Jewish Homeland come to pass that there would eventually have been a brigade of the Waffen SS that would have sported armbands reading, 'Judas Maccabeus.' Yes, I am serious."
Oh god please don't remind me of the time he wrote and published literal SS apologism and portrayed the Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler as noble heroes.From the man who brought us:
I have no doubt that you're right.

"Yeah I volunteered for the SS but I'm not a bigot I just hate the left and its effeminate degeneracy"That book...
Yup..."Yeah I volunteered for the SS but I'm not a bigot I just hate the left and its effeminate degeneracy"
I mean, really, Kratman? Really???
IIRC, last time we discussed Kratman on this forum, someone suggested that his being a Nazi sympathiser/loon in general was a later development, probably as a consequence of the brass Failing To Recognise His Genius by never promoting him to full Colonel...Can't believe this freak was even allowed to join the US Army, you'd think being a Nazi sympathizer would get a guy in trouble with the brass.
Could be, but you don't get his kind of egomania overnight either.IIRC, last time we discussed Kratman on this forum, someone suggested that his being a Nazi sympathiser/loon in general was a later development, probably as a consequence of the brass Failing To Recognise His Genius by never promoting him to full Colonel...
Kindly don't go off on current political rants outside of Chat.Yup. Those dastardly immigrant types breed faster, said dastardly immigrants are also cunning and organised and engaged in a vast plan to subvert Western Civilisation (except they also don't understand technology, they don't bother to practice military drills because 'it's Allah's will if I hit the target'...basically they're somehow both a fiendish and cunning menace and also complete incompetents), Europeans are all too lazy to defend themselves because we enjoy having five-week paid holidays too much, Europeans are so PC that we'd go along with Sharia law being installed 'because diversity'...
Suffice to say that his 'sci-fi' is bad enough that I have no desire to see what his alternate history is like. Also, given that this is the guy who has 'Tsarist-Marxism' as an enemy political philosophy in his stories, odds are he'll have Tsar Nicky actually be a secret Communist or something.
How true...
That book...
Sorry.Kindly don't go off on current political rants outside of Chat.
It could be worse without Ringo to keep Herr Oberst in line.Tom Kratman writing a book about (presumably) a mission to keep Russia White.
I almost want to read it just to see how badly he butchers history. We might be looking at the next "Watch on the Rhine."
You could do a "Let's read" thread here, I'm sure other members will provide moral support....
On the one hand, it's going to be terrible and will leave me questioning 'WHY!??'
...On the other hand, I kinda want to read it to see just what a train-wreck it's going to be.
Don't forget his anti-Clinton screed, A State of Disobedience.Oh god please don't remind me of the time he wrote and published literal SS apologism and portrayed the Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler as noble heroes.
Kratman's such a garbage human, seriously.
He claims that that was Jim Baen's price for publishing Kratman's other screeds.Don't forget his anti-Clinton screed, A State of Disobedience.
I suspect it depends on who wroite most of the ideas and book Kratman or his co author. His co author will I assume have some of his views but may be not all.You could do a "Let's read" thread here, I'm sure other members will provide moral support.
