book 2 is about taking down the Montana huwite supremes militia, I'll bet season 2 will be crammed with talking points against 2nd amendment and conservatives/trump voters. lured you in with apolitical season 1, then bam muh racist huwites. it's all so tiresome.

season 1 is pretty good to be fair, the books themselves are probably not to the taste of most people, disregarding plots or politics. they're written in very short and direct/simple sentences as if it's written by Reacher himself (maybe that's the meta?) it's less noticeable and less annoying playing on sped up audio book
I think I have a reacher book. But I’m a huge reader. I’ll watch season one. I think that plot you described would’ve been fine some years back but we are over saturated with white supremacy plots
White supremacy plots were perfectly fine until we found out that white supremacy = not enthusiastically condoning the targeted destruction of your own ethnicity, race, culture, nation, etc.
Reminds me of standup comedians cracking jokes about “whites”. When everyone was fair game, I laughed at those jokes against my race. Now we know that those jokes are born of anti-white hatred, so I’m no longer laughing.
This is how I feel now.
I used to think white supremacists were retarded. Now I’m technically one.
Their propaganda completely backfired. I went 180 on them.
I am drastically, drastically less “tolerant” than I was pre-Trump era and it’s not Trumps fault - it’s the medias reaction to him
Welcome to the club, fellow retard.
Me neither. I remember in the 90s BET had a comedy show where they would have an occasional white comedian who would make jokes about black ppl and the audience laughed. But that was then
I miss the days when we had enough cultural touchstones to participate in banter. It was fun to watch.
The issue is that there never really were Huwhite Supreme Pizzas of the cartoon villain variety. They were all normal people, some of whom might've been screwed up misfits, who basically just wanted to live a life without having to worry about a black dude raping their girlfriend, killing their dog, or them.
The first few books are decent pulpy speed reads. The later ones do get pretty woke. Lee Child is a solid lefty.
Gotcha. Now I know I have some Reacher books. Bought multiple Lee Childs books at yard sales
