This is a difficult book to read, because it's full of injustice, prejudice, double standards, and genuinely hideous behavior. And, all of that evil is done in the name of social justice.

Let's just say that Day pulls no punches, which should come as no surprise to anybody who's encountered him. He's not a "nice guy", but he's correct here, and that's a shame.

Welcome to the future, it's yours to shape. The gloves are off, folks.

It's a quick read (read it in one night) but this is an important book to have. It does go over recent events I've read about elswhere, such as Gamergate, the sad/rabid puppies in the left-leaning Hugo Awards (of which Day, a successful sci-fi/fantasy writer, is part)), as well as the SJW manufactured "scandals" with regard to Tim Hunt and Brendan Eich, among other stories. Day also discusses his own brush with SJWs, and for the most part shows why these people are a rather unpleasant, emotionally charged bunch. The most interesting part of the book is where Day discusses strategies for dealing with SJWs one on one, and how to counter their use of Alinsky tactics so that they'll basically leave you alone to get on with things. If more people read this book, perhaps we could cut down on these small non-problems that SJWs (who usually create them) tend to focus on and instead turn to the larger ones facing our society.

Vox Day was an unknown quantity to me other than being referenced by comments by various people associated with the Sad Puppies campaign against the SJW infested and Tor controlled Hugo Awards. The success of the Sad Puppies (and their now apparent allies, the Rabid Puppies from Day's camp) at forcing the SJW and Tor contingent into publicly displaying their bias and intolerance and the whole bought-and-paid incest party.

So, when I saw this title, I decided to pick it up and get some insight into one of the personalities involved.

What I got for my investment is a better understanding of one of the main internal enemies of my country (the so called Social Justice Warriors) and some clues as to how they exist. Better, though, is the understanding that they are, at heart, cowardly and easily coerced into rage and public display of their madness.

One of the little tidbits I found interesting is Day's take on Rhetorical thinking versus Dialectic thinking. The assertion that SJW's are slaves to the emotional side of Rhetoric and completely incapable of facing the lies of their own narrative from a Dialectic standpoint is greatly enlightening.

Mind you, true debate and public discourse among reasonable minds should blend the two together to form logical arguments cogently and appealingly debated and moving toward a synthesis of Truth as Aristotle intended. That, however, assumes rationality among both parties which is impossible when dealing with SJW's and their ilk, who are pure Sophos and "da feels:",

In any event, the clearly delineated steps of both the SJW attack strategy and a format for thwarting such mindless mob assaults is very helpful.

There's a point that has to be considered. Day and his Rabid Puppy/GamerGate comrades embrace picking up the weapons of their enemies and beating them to death with them. I actually emotionally agree with that approach, but the old saw of becoming your enemy by behaving like your enemy comes to the fore.

There's a thread of truth in what he says. An organization must protect itself from being infiltrated and subverted by its enemies. That's exactly what the SJW's have done with our schools, our governments, and their associated bureaucracies. The problem, of course, is that in attempting to make sure that your organization remains SJW free, you stand the chance (and a very good one) of becoming as intolerant and evil as the enemy.

Reading a bit of Day's Vox Popoli blog, it's easy to see that human pack attack tendency that mirrors that of the SJW cabal. Just because an attack dog is on your side or attacks people you don't like doesn't make it any less vicious. And that is a very dangerous sort of thing to play casually with.

This is the conundrum the pointing-shrieking control-mania hypocrisy of the SJW's has forced upon us. So long as the fight starts from truth and then uses their own sort of tools to shove that truth down their throat in an emotional manner they can't deal with, that's fine. When the lies begin stacking on each other to try and out do them, though, everyone loses.

Style wise, this is more of a blog-type pamphlet rather than any sort of serious treatise, and it's better for that. The material presented is not scholarly. It's a quick and dirty how-to about identifying the enemy and using their weaknesses against them. For that, readability is a must.

A unsupportable broad-brush approach is used to make the points (the title is an excellent example), but that's part and parcel of establishing the boundaries for a significant conflict. Day addresses this directly in later chapters and explains the necessity from his point of view.

Overall, I'm taking this as an interesting and insightful piece of chronological data that is very helpful in understanding the who's who of the conflict between SJW's and people who prefer to deal with reality. While not perfect, I certainly consider it relevant and a worthwhile addition to my Kindle library.

Even if you're not invested in the SJW versus anti-SJW fight on Twitter, Facebook, or Tumblr, you may still find this book of great interest. I wasn't a fan of Day's scorched earth solutions to some of the problems he brought up, but I was impressed with how he broke down emotional arguments versus logical arguments. Also of interest were the ways to stymie an SJW attack which I found applicable to fighting any sort of clique. I was let down to see that I was already employing most of the strategies he suggested (I've been confronted with SJW-like attacks for the past ten years because of my blog), but Day's analysis helped me gain insights into those battles. I won more than I realized, but also was dragged needlessly into the drama more than I should have. Using his advice, I look forward to fending off the enemies at the gates with more alacrity and vim while also saving myself a lot of time.
