I already went into reading the novel as a White supremist novel but it really annoyed me while reading it. It pictured black citizens and liberals in a bad light, for example black neighborhoods were exempt from gun searches. The author basically wanted the readers to think society viewed black people as the superior or innocent race.. to encourage hate, makes the whites seem like the oppressed race. Which is obviously not the case in our society. It was really disturbing whenever they mentioned people of colour they were either really corrupt government officials or rapists.. The forward of the novel was written like a biography or made it seemed like a “true” historical account of a movement, while the rest of the novel was written as the diary of Earl Turner, a member of the Organization. In this dystopian America it seems like “tyrannical liberals” run the government. The Cohen Act of 1989 “outlawed all private ownership of firearms in the United States”.

Contents / Story

In the beginning of the story Earl Turner is just a lower member of the Organization, poor and carrying out whatever tasks are asked. The government developed a tracking system where their credit cards and passports are linked to their SSN or ID, which if used anywhere will reveal their location. Robbing and killing people is apparently normalized in this society. As well as the fact the government doesn’t ever fulfill promises to better people’s lives. Other people in Earl’s division consists of Henry (their leader sorta), Katherine (their disguise makers), and George (their communicator). Throughout the story, the government shows their paranoia to the Organization and blames mostly anything on the Organization to make the public fear them. After awhile Turner is promoted and enters The Order, which is a secret Organization in the Organization.. Members are given poison capsules to kill themselves if they’re ever caught. Eventually the Organization seizes nuclear weapons and while in control the Organization ethnically cleanses non whites by forcing them into Eastern US. So hundreds of thousands of African Americans are forced to a dessert and Jews are beaten, lynched, and or shot. The Organization then raids all race traitors in the US and hang them in the streets of Los Angeles (later known as the “Day of the Rope”). After that The Organization continues their missions until they take over the world and cleanse the world of all non whites.

Context

Written by William Luther Pierce (Disguised as Andrew Macdonald) in 1978, who was the leader of the National Alliance organization and a Neo Nazi. The Turner diaries was a white nationalist novel, which influenced the shaping of white nationalism in American and contributed to the development of the white genocide conspiracy theory. The Turner Diaries was found to have similarities as Anticipations of the Future and The Iron Heel.

It has also inspired the following acts of violence (hate crime or terrorism): The formation of a terrorist group called The Order which assassinated Alan Berg (An American talk show host who spoke about his liberal views) in 1984, 1995 Oklahoma City bombing which killed 167 people, In 1966 a mass shooting against black people in Mississippi was carried out by Larry Wayne Shoemake.

While I was reading through the book, I wasn’t sure which political side Kaczynski fell on.. turns out he wasn’t on either. In the beginning he talks about the Leftist’s ideologies, he believes that they’re losers who are frustrated as well as have a desire for power. He thinks they excuses their faults and instead blame society for all their problems. I don’t know where he’s getting that from but now that I kinda think about it, Left wing folks don’t express their ideas in a positive light.. most often very extreme and I can see how he thinks they’re sensitive. Kaczynski is even aware not all of them are like that, but the loudest ones are.

Then he talks about Over socialization where people are taught from a young age to think and act as society demands. A person is well socialized if he believes in and obeys the moral code of his society and fits well into it.

“Over socialization can lead to low self-esteem, a sense of powerlessness, defeatism, guilt, etc. One of the most important means by which our society socializes children is by making them feel ashamed of behavior or speech that is contrary to society’s expectations.”

Kaczynski believes that technology is destroying the world and it only causes psychological and physical suffering. He believes that if machines were never created, then we would not have conflict or frustrations with others. “In modern society an individual’s loyalty must be first to the system.”

Context

Theodore John Kaczynski was a mathematic prodigy, he obtained his BA at Harvard and earned his PhD at the University of Michigan. He then became a Math professor but abandoned his academic career in 1969 and began to pursue a lone wolf terrorism campaign.

In 1971 he took a break and moved to a remote cabin in the woods. He lived as a recluse and learned survival skills, but once he began to witness the destruction of the forest, he realized it became impossible to live peacefully with nature in this society.

Between 1978-1995, he murdered 3 people and injured 23 others through mailing and delivering bombs. The investigation of the Unabomber (UNABOM, University and Airline Bomber) became the longest and most expansive investigation of the FBI at the time. Kaczynski offered to end his campaign if several publication companies published his manuscript. Which later became Industrial Society and Its Future or The Unabomber Manifesto.

He was arrested in 1996 and pleaded guilty to all charges in 1998. He was to sentence several life times in prison without the possibility of parole. In 2021 he was diagnosed with cancer. And finally in 2023, Kaczynski hanged himself.
