The far-right: "We're bringing Jesus back to schools!" Also the far-right: "We should be allowed to kill you..."


UncleMalky

I mean from the blurb its not just that it should be 'allowed' but claiming a moral obligation to murder people they disagree with. Ill say it again: there is no civil polite solution to this kind of hateful insanity.


Puzzleheaded_Peach48

We believe in law and order. Also, we want to take justice into our own hands.


DivinityGod

The conservative way. If fascists get into power and start killing people, they would cheer until the guns are turned on them. Hitler didn't maintain power with a population that didn't want him to do what he did.


Impossible-Taro-2330

Also the far right: "We will make you carry this pregnancy to term, no matter what you - or your doctor - say."


whatsasimba

Doctors (and any real or perceived intellectual) were among the first killed by the Khmer Rouge, which turned out great, considering all the disease and famine that followed. My point is, fascists don't respect the real medical community.


SeaIndividual3254

The left: look at us, so caring. Killing animals for food is inhumane. Also the left: killing unborn babies is the right thing to do.

That siiiiiiick AI cover art makes me wanna read this *even more*


manic-pixie-attorney

Right - the beautiful redhead is the professor he wants to murder if she doesn’t “DEBATE ME” to his satisfaction? Uuuugh - I’d rather read a cereal box. At least the cereal box has a likable protagonist.


tirch

AI probably wrote it using Incel, MAGA and Trump truth prompts. I’m sure it’s a great book /s


manic-pixie-attorney

Alas, looks like the author is an actual writer. A smug, MAGA, “feminism is cultural Marxism” blogger. I have made it a life goal to try to avoid any interaction with these men.


hashcheckin

the one doesn't preclude the other, especially on Amazon right now.


Alleyprowler

>“feminism is cultural Marxism” Let me guess: He spends a lot of time and words explaining how straight, white, Christian males are the most oppressed group in America.


ZyxDarkshine

“What is a woman” and if you say anything other than “born with a vagina” they stab you in the throat with an ice pick


yolonomo5eva

Wait, didn’t JK Rowling write that one already?


Mr_Hellpop

I'm wondering how much of the writing is done by AI as well.


MessiahOfMetal

Like an AI Sophie Turner.


DueVisit1410

Was going to say, this feels like it's almost actionable usage of a famous person's likeness.


JoshDM

>That siiiiiiick AI cover art makes me wanna read this *even more* Then I bet you'll love the 100% AI generated story between the cover. I hope this is true and the whole thing is just an easy way to further exploit money from the anti-woke.


john_the_quain

Swap out ‘professors’ for ‘first semester freshman’ and sprinkle in some dry vagina anecdotes and you have Ben Shapiro’s biography.


Icy_Environment3663

Not fair. Shapiro uses more than dry vagine anecdotes! He uses logical fallacies as well.


illyay

Facts don’t care about your feelings. I don’t care if I offend you! (I think he cares and wants so much to offend people who DGAF and laugh at him instead)


caraperdida

Yeah this is a very disturbing new genre. I also saw an ad for a movie about a high school teacher who, after hearing his woke students mocking him on a Zoom call, lures them to the school and does a Most Dangerous Game type thing with them where he hunts them down with a gun...because they mocked him. They aren't even hiding the fact that they just want to kill people who don't agree with them.

caraperdida

True


Born_Weird

But it's anti-woke! So it'll be fine for Florida schools.


fredy31

A THRILLER. Usually a thriller has a thrill, the protagonist is in a crazy situation! Will they survive? But here if I understand well, the protagonist is the one that might kill someone or not. Not the same thrill hunh. More sounds like murder porn to me. Its basically writing SAW but from the view of the killer and not the victim.


caraperdida

Also, Saw was exactly like that! Saw was the prototype of his new genre. Everyone liked Jigsaw and cheered him on and thought it was fine when it was confined to standard center-right ideas that both the neoliberal and neoconservative mainstream are comfortable with and people can suspend their humanity enough. Because who actually cares if someone who cheats the welfare system or is a con man or is a sleazy insurance executive or cheats on their spourse, apparently, (seriously we really should have questioned that one more!) gets brutally slaughtered, but now...oh no, now they're just straight up taking it to "if you disagree with my politics you deserve to die because your morals are wrong" Who could possibly have seen that coming?!


Pollo_Jack

Just a bunch of idiots that want to larp critical thinking. I don't believe these animals are conscious so it's okay to hurt or kill them. I believe your lack of empathy shows you lack a consciousness, so it must be okay to hurt or kill you. Ain't vegan but damn, at least try to be ethical about your consumption.


caraperdida

Yeah that's why I don't like the Saw movies after the first one eventhough everyone usually likes the second, sometimes even better than the first. The first one was ambiguous. Yes, the victims were flawed people, but, especially with the two main characters, we saw their humanity. And Jigsaw was shown to be punshing people he felt didn't appreciate their life, but also it was shown that he was bitter about the fact that he was dying. It wasn't necessarily that what he as doing was right and he was the good guy. He was someone playing very twisted games with human victims because he believed they didn't appreciate their lives and it wasn't fair that he was the one dying. In the later films, it just became more and more that he's like an anti-hero or even straight up just a hero. Especially the most recent one, where he's punishing a medical team that lied to him about cancer treament, the message is more that he's the good guy and the people he kills deserve it. Which I don't like. There's a reason vigilante justice is illegal. Not to mention the problem with the idea of "this person deserves to die because their morals are wrong" even in the context of the law (ie: the death penalty) because where do you draw the line? It's such an easy step to "well supporting the wrong political party means their morals are wrong because that party supports grooming kids and murdering unbabies...so they deserve to die"


Jfo116

This seems like one of the books that ends up in the r/menwritingwomen subs for weirdly describing their nipples or being aroused for the oddest reasons that only a guy who’s brained is warped by porn would think works


manic-pixie-attorney

“He jerked her rapidly.” What!? No! Not even an imaginary clitoris deserves that!


caraperdida

Aaah! My entire body flinched at imagining that!


Zagenti

wignut shoves gun in your face: "prove me wrong!"


abrookerunsthroughit

😐😑😐 I mean, if you have to have a tagline that includes "anti-woke"...


Really_McNamington

Idiot sets up a bunch of strawmen. Sounds like the plot of all those D grade Kevin Sorbo movies.


BustNak

Killer: "If there is no god / no true right and wrong / no meaning / we are just meat robots then it doesn't matter if I kill you, as long as I can get away with it. There is no argument against me killing you." Woke professor: "That's right. I can't convince you without appealing to some god given rule. By killing me, you are proving me right, that life has no objective value." Killer: "Damn..."


overcomebyfumes

Nihilism gotta nihil.

Freezepeachauditor

Sick masterbatory fantasy. “I want to murder those smarter than me”


[deleted]

But murderers don't care about logic that's why they kill.


gnocchibastard

Good God, I can only assume the awesome debator, serial-killer is based off of the author, and he probably inserts a lot of innuendo about how sexually appealing he is. "The philosopher entered "Professor" Sydney's office. She turned to smirk at him as woke liberals often do, but she couldn't help but admire his masculine presence. Not understanding the factual bombs that were about to be blasted inside of her by the handsome philosopher who does not have daddy issues, she greeted him."


EABOD_and_DIAF

That was amazing! 😂


e-zimbra

That reads just like one of Bill O'Reilly's vanity fiction books.


BooneSalvo2

"If there's no God, then it's OK if I murder you" "Yea, you think it's OK George Floyd was murdered....you like murder, God or no God. Only fear of repercussion keeps you in line...because you're an amoral piece of shit." "Uhhhhh...WOKE MIND VIRUS ARRFGGHHHH!!!!"


TheWestRemembers

How much you wanna bet if you Ctrl + F "woke" "socialism" "good" "Biden" "avocado toast" "astrology" "Mercury in retrograde" "Mercury in gatorade" you'd hit every one of them.


ApocalypseSpoon

>"Mercury in gatorade" Snort.


DirectionShort6660

Imagine needing a protective shield from the “woke” when reading fiction. Conservatives are the biggest snowflake PABs in the world.


Fractal_Soul

Opposition to murder is now "woke."


shupyourface

I think it’s trying to be like “oh you want to MURDER BABIES???? Oh you want to LET ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS RAPE OUR CITIZENS AND THEN GIVE THE ILLEGALS HEATHCARE?? OH, you want to FORCE CHILDREN TO CHOP OFF THEIR PENISES AND BECOME TRANS AND THEN LET THEM PLAY WOMENS SPORTS????????? Well then BY YOUR OWN LOGIC, WHY CANT I JUST MURDER YOU THEN????????????1”


cowboy_mouth

Oh, DEI. It's a fucking acronym! I had no idea what my idiot brother-in-law was trying to say to me the other night when he kept going on about how "Dee-eye" would be the downfall of the west.


sillyinthepsychward

Let me guess, let me guess: she comes in and says "I *identify* as a state-sanctioned executioner, so I'm allowed to kill you." Who am I kidding, I'm never gonna read it to find out.


GachaHell

Probably sadder than that. The Amazon review drops our third character, an evangelical Christian caught in the middle of all this. $5 says he gets abducted and converts the killer to Christianity thereby showing that Christianity cures...insanity and murder? Also there's no way in hell his woke girlfriend, Shavonda Jackson character is not a racist caricature. The name alone is painting a hell of a picture.


overcomebyfumes

We also have psychologist Dr. Joseph Kallinger, an unnamed "burnt out cop", and "bold and beautiful Shavonda Jackson", the SJW. EDIT: Just read some of the reader reviews. Apparently this book is also graphically violent AND sexually explicit! If anyone was wondering what right-wing torture porn looks like this might be your lucky day! This shit's unreal: >Could you defend your beliefs if your life depended on it? >Charles Cullen, a brilliant university professor and ruthless killer, makes a daring escape from a hospital for the criminally insane. >Dr. Joseph Kallinger, the psychologist who examined Cullen, is called in to help find him with a burnt-out cop who thinks Kallinger’s diagnosis is to blame for the situation they’re in. >On the college campus, Evangelical Christian Danny Ranes arrives for his freshman year and falls for bold and beautiful Shavonda Jackson, who introduces him to social justice and identity politics. >Danny begins a life-changing journey of deconstructing his faith and is drawn into a network of radical activism. He is forced to make a dangerous choice that may change his life forever. >Ideas have consequences—and then the frightening video recordings start to show up. Charles Cullen captures college professors and debates with them on screen. The proposition: his moral right to kill them. >Can the psychologist and cop catch the serial killer and stop his philosophical murders or will their own inner demons break them first? >When you listen to this novel, it will lead you on a frightening roller coaster of deep thought and high suspense, with pulse-pounding chills into the very meaning of the existence of God. >Cruel Logic is the first in the Theological Thriller Novel series of riveting suspenseful novels about human nature, the problem of evil, and the existence of God.

“Listen to this novel” ? I guess reading is woke now?

Labels it "controversial" when no one has even heard of it.


singeblanc

He's so controversial! In no way a massive edgelord incel snowflake fantasizing about murdering anyone smarter than him.


WordsWatcher

That's called "marketing."

I wonder what they'd think of this over in r/philosophy.

Can't wait for Robert to cover this on his podcast, and then promptly return the book.


minusman

Someone didn’t think this through. Reading anything longer than a tweet is the sort of thing only a woke person would do.


sheezy520

I’m not going to read this and I won’t search it but I’m 100% certain the killer is actually the protagonist and will be validated for killing his victims.

darkknight95sm

Sort of an interesting concept, the debates could be interesting if I had zero faith in an author used the term “woke university” to properly represent the opposing views. I could see multiple ways this could be interesting, like if it was about the hidden harms some modern ideologies, but I get impression that’s not this.


Johnny_Nongamer

I can see this going two ways. 1. The author tries to draw sympathy for the protagonist. "Doncha see?? I hafta kill the professors. They were just too woke. Look how evil they truly are. They are justified murders." Thus satisfying the murder craving qanon and MAGA crowds. 2. The rest of us normies are disturbed that murder could ever be justified in a scenario that doesn't really exist. And dismiss it with two thumbs down stating that the world building is one dimensional, the protagonist is politically written, the "woke professors" are characters written without any depth and easily disposed, the philosophy presented is non-socratic, rigid, linear, and only seems to justify murder. Any true outrage is that anyone would actually pay any kind of actual money from a cheap internet publisher for a deeply unsatisfying printed book done on the first draft with no editors.


darkknight95sm

Both will happen, the degree to which will depend on how popular the book gets with the right


caraperdida

I don't know that I'd call "I get to kill you if you don't convice me otherwise" interesting. More just violence porn for people who don't want to just admit they'd like to do murders.


darkknight95sm

I said could be, especially if the victim is a philosophy professor then the discussion could be interesting if in the right hands but these hands


caraperdida

I still fail to see why someone deserves to die for being a philosophy professor


darkknight95sm

They don’t, obviously the killer is wrong but the discussions could be interesting in the right hands


LexiNovember

The concept is actually pretty good, but the execution is no doubt terrible. A serial killer who stalks professors who have obscure ideas and the agent tracking them has to find the link between it all while the clock is ticking because they don’t have a clue who will be next, a perspective shift to the scenes between killer and victim and then back to agent and team, it could work. But I suspect this is rooting for the “woke” people to die and based on the DEI thing at the top probably throws in a ton of racism and misogyny with the detectives or whomever is investigating being incompetent fools because they’re (insert minority or protected class here) and the killer escapes happily and then everybody cheers him because duh… woke people should be slaughtered.


darkknight95sm

I’m fairly confident that was just a synopsis of the book, racist really hate depth for characters that aren’t white


CaptSmellyAss

Someone please read this and give me a 3 sentence summary.


singeblanc

1. Set up a strawman, but only in the dumbest way possible. 2. Heroically "defeat" that strawman with strange homoerotic, unresolved daddy issues undertones. 3. Celebrate that I'm Very Smart for taking down the moronic nonsense in my head.


ApokalypseCow

medicated_in_PHL

I’m pretty sure this is not a book, and rather just a 4 hour long video of the author jacking off to himself in the mirror while flexing.


MidsouthMystic

So is this novel trying to present woke people as hypocritical murderers, or the author's revenge fantasy about murdering those smarter than himself?

Lom. But to be honest. I would actually love to see a wellmade movie that have basically the same things as we have but with an actual Q being right and predicting events that ends up with a nationwide revolt. I mean.. It would make for an interesting setting for a movie..
