    piloitically incoherent libertarianism.

    Pretty much all of heinlein is this with a healthy dose of eugenics, a lot of mysogyny and being overall horny, including about questionably young characters.

    People shouldn't be subjected to Heinlein's writing unless out of academic interest on why he sucked so much.

      I remember one story where the main character went back in time to ww2 to have sex with his mom while his dad was deployed. I honestly think his work is simply just way more fucked than we give him credit for.

        went back in time to ww2

        It was WW1, and that book was even weirder than that: it was about Heinlein's direct author-insert character doing settler colonialism in space, grooming his adopted daughter, forcing cattle to inbreed to show what inbreeding does over multiple generations to preemptively discourage his kids (that he had with his adopted daughter) from banging each other, and making female clones of himself that he then groomed too. It fucking ends with him enlisting to fight in WW1 out of some incoherent blend of toxic masculinity and nationalism for a country he knows that he personally outlived, nearly dying, and being saved by his harem in a time traveling spaceship.

      Heinlein really, really wanted to fuck his mom. Also I think the harem anime genre may be his fault.

        I never thought of it that way before, but... :yea:
