    I read a few of his books and really disliked his elementary Economics understanding. He really lays it on thick towards a Libertarian utopia of selfishness.

      Yeah, he’s not subtle in his politics, but he only started getting in trouble when the white supremacy angle started to become undeniable.

      It’s one thing to have the Rayndian Ubermensch solve everything with capitalism and bootstraps while that dang guvment tries to get in the way, it’s another to spend a whole book mansplaining that Latino culture will never amount to anything while it’s “obsessed with machismo” while being a sexist prick with a clear rape fetish.
