The leaders of The Order reportedly kept at least 20 copies of The Turner Diaries at their headquarters. Robert Mathews created The Organization, later renamed The Order, as a National Alliance spinoff militia and modeled the group on the militia in The Turner Diaries that led the racial revolution.
#Turner diarie series
xĪmong the most notable direct adaptions from the book is the violent white nationalist militia The Order, which carried out a series of robberies and murders in the 1980s. * Christopher Reed, “William Pierce – The ‘theoretician’ of America’s extreme right and author of the book that was claimed to have inspired the Oklahoma City bombing,” Guardian (London), July 25, 2002. The Turner Diaries is told through diary entries of the book’s protagonist, Earl Turner, who belongs to an underground militia called the Organization that carries out a series of terrorist bombings and murders to bring about the race war that leads to the creation an all-white utopian society. The book is a collection of stories from the National Alliance’s newsletter Attack! that envisioned a race war resulting in the murder of non-white minorities and anybody else who supported multiculturalism. x National Alliance, the white nationalist group Pierce founded in 1974, labeled The Turner Diaries a "Handbook for White Victory." * “William Pierce,” Southern Poverty Law Center, accessed January 2, 2019. * Katheen Belew, Bring the War Home (Cambridge: Harvard University Press 2018), 110-113. The Turner Diaries has reportedly sold more than 500,000 copies worldwide and serves as a guide for white nationalists seeking to attack infrastructure in order to create a white nation-state within the United States. x The Turner Diaries has become an influential work among white nationalists, inspiring violent attacks and propaganda. Writing in the London Review of Books in 1997, John Sutherland described The Turner Diaries as "not the work of a Holocaust-denier (although Pierce gives us plenty of that) so much as a would-be Holocaust-repeater." * John Sutherland, “Higher Man,” London Review of Books, May 22, 1997. The seminal work by white nationalist William Luther Pierce, written under the pseudonym Andrew Macdonald, has influenced transnational acts of murder, robbery, and terrorism. Though their respective attacks were 16 years apart, Breivik and McVeigh drew inspiration for their malicious acts from the same source: The Turner Diaries, a 1978 novel about a race war that results in the murder of non-white minorities and the creation of a white nation.
#Turner diarie skin
It’s a positive step to show people in this they have other parts to their identity than just skin color.Norwegian terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh committed heinous acts of terrorism in their respective countries. As gross as it sounds being hostile to people who believe this won’t turn them. We have a problem with this ideology and we need to solve it. I like how he ended that video by trying to appeal to people who may believe the book’s message. It’s ideas have left a mark on the racist right. Someone in this thread said ideologically it’s dated. I am aware that law enforcement has and still does study this book because it’s inspired multiple terrorist acts. Really it shows that white supremacists have a fear that if minorities get rights they’ll take revenge on the white people. In real life statistics show you’re more likely to be raped by someone you know and who looks like you so if the scenario in the book ever happened white women would be raped by white men in most cases as is the case now. Of course it follows classic racist tropes and portrays a scenario where the black men run amok raping white women left and right. It shows what the racists who find it appealing actually think of minorities.Īpparently rape is treated as regular assault in this book. I mean you have to be in real deep to find any redeeming value in this book or not find it repugnant. I think that the book is a fascinating psychological insight into the minds of people who believe it’s message. I know I watched that video and that was enough for me.
