The Turner Diaries	comment	One of the most important books of the white supremacist movement, and one of the most controversial books of its kind since Mein Kampf, The Turner Diaries is about a group of white supremacists who are fighting a guerrilla war against the US government in a dystopian era where, controlled by the Israeli Zionists and using the blacks as shock troops, the government terrorizes the public into supporting the "mongrelization" of the white race.It was written by William Luther Pierce, founder of the white nationalist and Neo-Nazi group National Alliance, under the Pen Name Andrew Macdonald. He also wrote Hunter under the same pen name and scripted The Saga of White Will under his real name.The story was first released in serial form in the National Alliance's monthly publication Attack! between 1975 and 1978, before being collected into a book in 1978, and has since been mostly sold across the US through mail-orders in gun magazines, gunshow circuits, under the counter in various gunstores, and at far-right political meetings and conventions. It has since become infamous for inspiring numerous hate crimes and acts of terrorism by white supremacists and other members of the militant far-right — not just in the US, but also internationally — including several murders, robberies, and bombings. The most infamous of these acts is the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City by Timothy McVeigh in 1995, which up until 9/11 was the worst terrorist attack ever to take place on US soil and is still the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in US history.Arguably influenced the Northwest Front series of books and Victoria, which are also in favor of white nationalist revolution.Compare with its Tabletop RPG equivalent, Racial Holy War, and its Video Game equivalent, Ethnic Cleansing.

The Turner Diaries / int_13a6b7ef	comment	Gaia's Lament: Vast swathes of the Earth, most notably China, are rendered utterly uninhabitable because of the liberal use of nuclear bombs and biological and chemical weapons. But it's worth it because at least everyone who's not a white supremacist is dead.

The population declined to less than 50 million people due to starvation and radiation. The System's government practically collapsed, and their police and military degenerated into nothing more than groups hoarding up supplies. The Organization refused to let even white men in their territory, unless they would first kill a non-white person and present their severed head as proof.

On occasion, he will stop to make a reflective comment about the situation, using extremely polished dialogue as if he were a college professor dictating a doctoral thesis. Once that's done, his professionality drops noticeably. Somewhat justified, since the book is presented as a collection of journal entries, most of which deal with his day-to-day experiences. But when he starts writing about his cause, he's VERY long-winded.

It proves that fighting white supremacy is in the best interest of everyone, even the white supremacists themselves.

However, Pierce makes it very clear early on that the arms seizures were aiming primarily at whites, while minorities were largely exempt from the seizures due to political reasons. This makes the entire idea that a few dozen Organization members at most in each huge area would be able to round up millions of people for execution without any resistance extremely improbable, if not downright impossible.

Similarly, there's a throwaway line about the "Chinese problem" being "solved" with nukes, seemingly with no ill-effects anywhere else in the world or Chinese retaliation. Although there are a few lines explaining that the primitive Chinese ICBMs were intercepted and pre-emptively struck. An unlikely, but possible situation. It is also explicitly stated that Asia is a horrific wasteland. So Pierce DID at least try to explain what happened between the Final War and the New Society. Vandenberg Air Force Base has never been used to store nuclear weapons, so the Organization could not get their hands on any with the uprising they launch in California.

Minorities are often subject to this by default, but an Israeli major who tortures the protagonist is depicted as well educated and extremely competent in his field. Jews in general are portrayed as a grand conspiracy of greedy megalomaniacs who secretly control the entire world and are the puppet masters behind absolutely all non-whites. No regard or accuracy is made for their religion and they're considered a degenerate, sneaky race whose only apparent goal is the subjugation and suppression of the Pure Aryan Race. And they still somehow lose. Liberals are portrayed as being dupes or willing agents of the Jews, while conservatives and libertarians are portrayed as misguided and foolish. Blacks are without exception portrayed as nothing more than mindless, savage, degenerate buffoons, who only want to get high, rape white women, and do whatever Jewish people tell them to do. None are given any characterization at all, and there wasn't even a single named black character in the book. Even on the rare occasions where a black is mentioned to be in any kind of position of authority they will only take advantage of said authority to rape white women. Oh, and they willingly engage in cannibalism once food becomes scarce. The one exception is a high-ranking black civil rights leader who denounces the Jews when they pettily cancel an important equality demonstration. However he's still described insultingly, is unnamed, and the Jews quickly replace him.

The Turner Diaries / int_85557b38	comment	Slavs are starting to become more accepted in white nationalist environs, partly because of Russian conduct in Chechnya and Syria, and partly because of rising Far-Right sentiment in that country. Some Neo-Nazis, especially in America given that white Americans tend to be a mix of various ethnic groups (sometimes even Non-European ones), tend to favor white supremacy over ethnic supremacy like Nordic or Slavic supremacism or even ethno-national supremacy like what was demonstrated when various Yugoslav groups exterminated each other in the 90s. Even back in World War II it was not uncommon for the European far right to decry America as a mongrel nation whose whites were too mixed.

The Turner Diaries / int_875615dd	comment	There is some slight and disturbing Truth in Television to this. The mutual hatred for Jews in the white and Middle Eastern far right has led to some Enemy Mine situations. The Nazis invoking this seem to come in two flavors. The first are the Islamophiles that think the white race would be better off exterminating all other races as Muslim jihadists (never mind the fact that the prophets were all various types of Semites) as opposed to "Jewish" Christians. The second are Arab nationalist lovers that respect people like Saddam for standing against Jews and Islamists (who the Nazis and Arab Nationalists see as Jewish pawns).

Gets rather ridiculous when 60 million Americans have perished and New York City and Baltimore have been wiped off the map due to Organization and Soviet nukes and yet the Organization still threatens to use nukes on the United States to get them to not nuke their headquarters despite the fact they already did so multiple times and have been actively using them.

The Turner Diaries / int_c335b9ec	comment	Irony: The concept of civil rights is brought up in relation to the ban on the private ownership of guns which, as the protagonist brings up, is at odds with the Constitution. Much of The Organization's actions could also be contested in exactly the same way. By the end of the book, the Arabs are silently cheered on as they kill off the people of Israel, and are even regarded rather positively... by a team of white nationalist terrorists. In the real world, Pierce would later come rather close to praising al-Qaeda for the 9/11 attacks, which the "Jew-loving" U.S. "deserved", according to him. There is some slight and disturbing Truth in Television to this. The mutual hatred for Jews in the white and Middle Eastern far right has led to some Enemy Mine situations. The Nazis invoking this seem to come in two flavors. The first are the Islamophiles that think the white race would be better off exterminating all other races as Muslim jihadists (never mind the fact that the prophets were all various types of Semites) as opposed to "Jewish" Christians. The second are Arab nationalist lovers that respect people like Saddam for standing against Jews and Islamists (who the Nazis and Arab Nationalists see as Jewish pawns). It was also true domestically. George Lincoln Rockwell, founder of the American Nazi Party, spoke at several Nation of Islam rallies. He called Elijah Muhammad "the black Adolf Hitler" and even shared a stage with Malcolm X on several occasions. Keep in mind that at that stage in his life Malcolm X opposed race-mixing and was rabidly anti-Semitic. The Nazis hated Slavs but liked East Asians (Hitler even called the Japanese "honorary Aryans" and begrudgingly admitted that Chinese and Japanese history was full of amazing feats, content to have the Orient controlled by East Asians so as long as the Occident was Aryan dominant). For the Organization and the Order (the Real Life organization inspired from this book), it's the opposite, which makes their deification of Adolf Hitler as "the great one" and their claim of being a direct heir to the SS all the more idiotic. Slavs are starting to become more accepted in white nationalist environs, partly because of Russian conduct in Chechnya and Syria, and partly because of rising Far-Right sentiment in that country. Some Neo-Nazis, especially in America given that white Americans tend to be a mix of various ethnic groups (sometimes even Non-European ones), tend to favor white supremacy over ethnic supremacy like Nordic or Slavic supremacism or even ethno-national supremacy like what was demonstrated when various Yugoslav groups exterminated each other in the 90s. Even back in World War II it was not uncommon for the European far right to decry America as a mongrel nation whose whites were too mixed. Turner is furious that normal Americans could accept violations of their civil liberties as long as the economy is okay and the media manipulates them, a lot like real life Nazi Germany. (Many American Neo-Nazis are interesting in holding onto somewhat Libertarian imagery compared to their European counterparts based on the fact that America's founding principles are closer to individualist enlightenment guidelines as opposed to some mythicized ancient civilization, and thus ignore or can't realize that the society they want requires a totalitarian government with the ability for unprecedented overreach.) One character who shows up later in the novel is a Right-Wing Militia Fanatic Air Force general who serves as a villain... because while he is basically a John Bircher, he is opposed to racism and anti-Semitism and is thus viewed as a Category Traitor to the protagonists.

The Turner Diaries / int_c5f0119c	comment	Insane Troll Logic: There's a lot of it in the book, both intentional and otherwise. The entire ending reaches absolute wall-banging levels of insane troll logic that have to be read to be believed. The Organization has heard info that the United States is about to nuke the Organization's enclave in Southern California in response to their own nukings of Miami and Charleston using suitcase nukes. In order to prevent this from happening, the Organization decides to fire off their own ballistic nukes from their only missile silos at Vandenberg at targets at both New York City for revenge but also at the Soviet Union to force a counter-response. The first thing wrong with this is that in order to prevent their own imminent nuking, they decide to launch nukes at the United States which is obviously just going to bring an earlier retaliatory strike and doesn't do anything to prevent the launches anyway. They decide that if they were to nuke the Soviet Union too, they would force a Soviet response in kind and damage the United States itself via the Soviet retaliatory strike. Now where it goes off the wall is that the Organization phones the Pentagon after the launches and tells them that the only way they can get out of this is by themselves joining the nuclear strike on the Soviets to destroy the Soviet missiles before they're able to launch in response. The massive problem with this is that the Organization has already nuked two American cities and released a proclamation stating their end goal is to kill off all non-whites on the planet Earth. The United States could easily have contacted the Soviets and told them that the missiles were launched by the Organization and not themselves and the Soviets could have seen that the missile launches were coming from Organization territory and might prevent a Soviet retaliatory attack on the United States itself. Even if the Soviets still nuke in response, at least the United States has a clear and justifiable reason to nuke the Organization to glass later and get world sympathy. Instead, the United States somehow decide that going along with the Organization is the perfect plan and start launching nukes at the Soviets. Despite the surprise, enough Soviet nukes get through to destroy twenty major American cities and kill sixty million Americans instantly. Now at least you can reason that since it's the end of the world and all that, at least the Organization is now a flaming wreck too since they started the nuclear exchange in the first place, right? Nah, the United states only launches one nuke at California, which destroys the now empty missile silos. Somehow, the Organization is able to prevent their California Enclave from getting nuked by launching nukes preemptively at the two countries with the largest nuclear stockpiles in the world and escape from it largely unscathed.

That said, the racists who do the lampshading do so through the lens of Protagonist-Centered Morality, since when they do it, they consider it justified and moral. Also, some politicians and journalists who supported the Cohen Act failed to turn in their guns. Turner himself is guilty of it. A scene has him watching a teenage girl he knew getting lynched by the Organization. Though he admits to feel sympathetic towards her for getting summarily executed in such a brutal manner, he ultimately reasons that it was necessary, because it sends the signal that no one can from the punishment of breaking the Organizationâ€™s rules, no matter their excuse. This is despite the fact that Turner was earlier explicitly ordered by the Organisation to commit suicide rather than letting himself getting taken alive, but when he was actually cornered by law enforcement, he ultimately chickened out and allowed himself to be captured. But he is very easily let off the hook for this once he makes his escape and regroups with the Organization, simply because he was able to come up with a convincing enough excuse.

The Turner Diaries / int_da1c8191	type	Writers Cannot Do Math
The Turner Diaries / int_da1c8191	comment	Writers Cannot Do Math: The "Day of the Rope" has the deaths of 60 thousand people in one day and they have their bodies strung on every lamp post in California. Then there's the nuclear bombing that wipes out 90% of humanity and irradiates the other countries, despite the ramifications of wiping out 90% of the human race (5.8 billion people to be precise), the fact that it takes 75 - 20,000 years for radiation to completely dissipate, and how they would be able to repopulate the Earth without succumbing to genetic mutations or inbreeding.

The Turner Diaries / int_e08e8216	type	Only Sane by Comparison
The Turner Diaries / int_e08e8216	comment	Only Sane by Comparison: General Harding of the northern California military administration would be a fairly typical General Ripper villain in any normal work. However, in the very much insane world of the book, he comes off as somewhat reasonable. At least he does not want to associate himself with the genocidal lunatics of the Organization, nor with the government that has abolished the citizens' right to bear arms and which has legalized sexual assault.

It serves as an example of how the Jews control the world and weaken the Pure Aryan Race through the power of perversion.

They have white soldiers go on shooting sprees against blacks in the military and then escape, so that the blacks would retaliate and thus appear to be revolting. Turner later comments that the System has been bombing itself in southern California just as much as it has been bombing the Organization. This doesn't last long though.

The Turner Diaries / int_f98356f	comment	Right-Wing Militia Fanatic: The protagonists are this, specifically of the neo-Nazi variety. Despite their protagonist status, they are exceptionally murderous and violent even by the standards of this trope. Notably, the Organization inspired a number of real right-wing terrorist groups and actions. A few non-Order groups show up, with one general who is a John Bircher serving as a minor antagonist later in the novel. Many non-Order examples of this are treated as villainous for the heinous crime of not being racist enough.
