Now these bits ar odd. I ges just misoginy.

So, Heinlein actually is solidly anti slavery, the way lots of current white Usonians from the former CSA areas ar not. Yu know, those vile “Slaves had better lives than the free Africans” folks.

Nonetheless, Heinlein talks about slavery a lot. When someone is good in bed Lazarus thinks “[Y]ou would fetch a high price on Iskander”, a planet with slave markets.

And, close to the end, the mother fucking sene.

I find the idea “Second Thirty Years’ War” actually offensive.
Heinlein calls it ‘“Phase One of the First Terran Planetary War.”’

It started with de Gaulle, and yu can see why the French would see it that way.

But it completely ignores the Weimar democracy. The Brecht play is cald “The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui”.
Some less pure democracy and more defensive democracy might hav been enuf.

“I try not to think about how useless this war is.”

Yeah, well. That is the root of the problem.

Sorry to go back to the squick

So now Lazarus, in his quest to become a mother fucker, joins the army to go and murder some Germans. In a war he clearly sees as not his war and a bad idea in general, for a country that is not his.

So, yeah. When yu ar an amoral libertarian, than that makes sense. Kill strangers to fuck somebody yu like.

If not, not.

Back to sell squicky stuff:
The way how he was confused about the right date on Earth during his time travel makes no sense.

That his time machine isn’t as precise as in, say, Back to the Future is actually a nice idea.

But then he described the method to determine the date “by reading positions of the Solar System’s planets.”

He seriously underestimates how *easy* that is.

Ugh.
I know i red this before, but did not remember some of the details.

Like the bit where he – between chapters – fucks his daughters.
Or that they were 13 years old at the time.
Or not just his daughters, but actually his clones (with repeated X cromosome).
Or that he wants to fuck his mother in the next chapter.
Or that he talks to his penis about said mother fucking.

😠 🤬 🤮

Did yu know that the Howards (the immortals) who all were North Americans totally were not racists?
We know that because one was of Chinese ancestry, and another, Zaccur Barstow, was “a quarter Negro”.
Two from some 100’000.

At least “Lee Choy Moo” the name Heinlein pickt, isn’t as bad as “Cho Chang”, what She Who Must Not Be Named came up with.
