One of the most important books of the white supremacist movement, and perhaps one of the most controversial books since ''[[Mein Kampf]]'', ''The Turner Diaries'' is about a group of white supremacists who are fighting a guerrilla war against the US government in a dystopian era where, controlled by the [[Greedy Jew|Israeli Zionists]] and using the blacks as shock troops, the government terrorizes the public into supporting the "mongrelization" of the white race.
 
Written by William Luther Pierce, founder of massive white nationalist group National Alliance, who credited himself as [[Pen Name|Andrew Macdonald]]

=== Provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Asshole Victim]]: How the book regards those not akin to the protagonists in body, mind and soul.
* [[Category Traitor]]: The base premise is that being white without being a racist is a form of extreme betrayal.
Line 13 ⟶ 24:
* [[Crazy Survivalist]]: By the end of the book, there are quite a few of these.
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: The US at the start of the book; Guns have just been outlawed, second amendment be damned, the government has begun behaving like a second Gestapo, and whites are finding their dominion threatened by Jews and minorities.
* [[Defictionalization]]: What this book is perhaps the most notorious for; many white nationalists have killed in its name, assuming it to be a prophesyprophecy.
* [[Equal Opportunity Evil]]: Literally; the concept of "equal opportunity" is taken as evil in and of itself.
* [[Feeling Oppressed by Their Existence]]: At the end of the book, the Aryan race is finally "liberated" as the protagonists let atomic, biological and chemical bombs rain over the entire planet, exterminating about 90% of mankind.
Line 29 ⟶ 40:
* [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]]: The Supreme Court decriminalized rape in order to [[Insane Troll Logic|promote equality between the sexes.]]
* [[Pride Parade]]: {{spoiler|The novel features a Pride Parade and make a note of how they are getting more inclusive over time, now extending to include fetishists and such. It serves as an example of how the Jews control the world and weaken the Pure Aryan Race through the power of perversion.}}
* [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: One of the few things thethat the book is relatively consistent on, and the text makes it clear the crime itself, regardless who it's inflicted on, is an especially depraved act.
* [[Right-Wing Militia Fanatic]]: The protagonists.
* [[Sophisticated As Hell]]: The protagonist whenever he gets philosophical. On occasion, he will stop to make a reflective comment about the situation, using extremely polished dialogue as if he were a college professor dictating a doctoral thesis. Once that's done, his professionaltyprofessionalism drops noticeably.
* [[Straw Character]]: The book is not very consistent in its portrayals of this. Minorities are often subject to this by default, but {{spoiler|an Israeli major who tortures the protagonist is depicted as well -educated and extremely competent in his field.}}
* [[Throwaway Country]]: The only remorse the Organization has about turning much of Asia into an uninhabitable wasteland is that it will take a long time to colonize.
* [[Took a Level In Dumbass]]: After a certain point, everyone not on the side of the racists takes multiple levels in this.
