    Someone should write about Pournelle a precursor to alt-right.https://twitter.com/natecull/status/820485223901118465 …

    Nate Cull @natecull
    Sadly Pournelle was HUGELY influential in the 1980s and 90s computing scene. His Byte column mixed software reviews with protofascist rants. https://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/820474009133326336 …

        indeed, with some great help from @HeerJeet in putting together The Old Iron Dream. But a more specific article may be in order...

        CoD series also featured the Unity Party in the US stealing elections. They're presented as the good guys doing the right thing.

        It was huge shock & disappointment to me when I learned his full political views. In 80s his work w/ Poul Adnerson among my faves

        @natecull I remember as a kid being surprised by his "survival of the fittest" rhetoric in Lucifer's Hammer.

        @natecull I had no idea Niven was right-wing. Reading up on his work with SIGMA, and wow, he sounds kind of nuts :(

        There has always been a crypto-facist strain in FSF if you knew where to look for it.

        @natecull Pournelle was just fictionalizing some of the far-right BS of the time. He is pretty fascistic, but not quite alt-right.

        @natecull yeah I remember Pournelle's columns in Byte, but could never find anything political
