Okay, so I read the sample and this shit is hilarious
One of the main characters is basically Jordan Peterson, a college professor who teaches a class called Western Civilization, a class which was jeopardized by the EVIL SJWS WHO HATE WESTERN CIVILIZATION and he had to fight to get it reinstated
The book uses this class as an excuse to give him a John Galt speech about the evils of collectivism, in which he drops the phrase “cultural Marxism,” claims that communism killed 150 million people, claims that “western civilization” freed the world from slavery and tyranny because it changes based on free speech and criticism instead of violence, tells his students he’s going to make them read 1984 and Animal Farm, and says that the college will “indoctrinate [them] to hate [their] parents, Western culture, and America”
His counterargument to the claim that the American Revolution was fought to protect the slave rights of landholders consists, in its entirety, of “Yeah, right”
Another main character is a freshman new to the college and holy shit the author takes the opportunity to get shots in at absolutely everything he has a grievance with. In the span of a single scene, he snipes at racial minorities, LGBT people, women who support abortion, pro-Palestine activists (they have a banner that calls Israel an apartheid Nazi state, which A. based and B. would get those students censured and blacklisted in any real college if recent events are any indication), people who give their pronouns, and DEI
Actual line from this section: “He hoped he could get away with abbreviating it all to just LGBTQ+ without getting attacked.”

The people who talk the most about these books haven’t read them either, why are people like this
Also these are like highschool level texts to analyse with how heavy handed the messaging is. Really shows the big brains we’re dealing with here.
They always do this, they always try to cram every grievance into every sentence
Babe wake up, new victims of communism number just dropped!
