weaver-z asked:
Isn't Ben Shapiro's other novel/foray into literature the one where some racist Irish cop named Potate O'Famine or whatever randomly kills a eight-year-old for having a toy gun, and we're meant to feel bad for the cop? Buck wild
cryptotheism answered:
That’s True Allegiance and Oh my god it’s so much fucking worse.
In it, an Iranian terrorist leader and a black civil rights leader collaborate to pay an eight year old black boy in detroit to threaten a racist Irish cop with a toy gun. They do this to provoke a false flag shooting, which the black civil rights leader will use to gain power. Their eventual goal being to open up the US-Mexico border so the terrorist can activate his sleeper armies and invade the US through Mexico.
Fair warning about True Allegiance:
The book is ridiculous and often hilariously pathetic but there's parts of it that I would describe as "disgustingly racist." The passages where Ben describes muslim men specifically are some of the most vile, uncomfortable, and dehumanizing things I've ever read. I genuinely don't think Ben sees them as human.
This book sounds like the Crisis on Infinite Earths of racist conspiracy theories. What the fuck.
