Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After seeing raving views on twitter and amazon I decided to give this book a go. While it touches on some modern problems that are worth covering (Religion and science, political division, materialism, etc.) they devolve from any sort of helpful nuance into all out petulant fits of rage. I don't strongly identify with democrats or republicans on a lot of things and I enjoy a strong critique of both. But this book is packed full of rants on diversity, women, and globalization. There are fantasies of killing people involved in the BLM movement, and bizarre threats to Ben Shapiro/Sam Harris/and others. While others may be guilty of ignoring the necessity of violence in some extreme situations, this book fetishizes violence as the great equalizer. The only "real men" to the author are men who live in the woods, have skull tattoos, and hunt bears. Anything other than this results in "weak men". One of the greatest ironies of the book is the supposed pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps alpha author whines that the world doesn't mold itself to his desires. And finally on a literary level this book reads like a convoluted run on sentence. It seems to attempt Jordan Peterson-esqe style rambling forgetting that at least Peterson comes to some sort of conclusion. It attempts to sound smart by taking some random word in every sentence and finding a replacement in a thesaurus which results in unnecessarily complicating everything. The bottom line is that Sanction is an angry alt-right wolf wrapped in science fiction wool.
