    Heinlein was a huge friend to Philip K. Dick, and any number of Jewish science fiction writers. He was one of the first writers to have an African woman as a hero, one of the first to have a transman character. Stop using the word ‘fascist’ for anyone on the Right. It dilutes the term.

      and any number of Jewish science fiction writers.

      And?

      He was one of the first writers to have an African woman

      And?

      one of the first to have a transman character.

      Again… and?

      Stop using the word ‘fascist’ for anyone on the Right. It dilutes the term.

      All right-wingers walk the same path. If you write fascist drivel, you are a fascist. Heinlein was a fascist. Stop making excuses for him.

              No, really, liberal - where the fuck do you see anything that can be called left with a straight face contesting anything in the formal political establishment?

              Or is it just that you got your cartoonish and Reagen-esque idea of what left and right even means from hysterical liberals and fascists on CNN and Fox news?

                If you can’t win an argument without using foul language, you probably don’t have many good ideas.

                Bye bye.

                Dawg, you just fabricated your idea of what the other dude thinks in that second paragraph. Touch grass, call someone, go outside.

                  Dawg

                  We are not close enough for endearments.

                  you just fabricated your idea of what the other dude thinks in that second paragraph.

                  No, I didn’t. If you think there’s anything “leftist” about the formal political establishment it indicates a very specific form of brain-rot that is childishly easy to trace to the mass misrepresentation of political concepts one can easily find simply by turning on a television. Both liberals and their fascist fellow-travellers suffer from this brain-rot… and it’s symptoms are perfectly predictable.

                  Not all that difficult to understand, no?

        How many socialistic writers wrote sci-fi that included Africans and the TG?

        Was it back when Stalin outlawed homosexuality and allying with Hitler?
