History YMMV / TheTurnerDiaries

* FridgeHorror: Since the whole book is from the [[UnreliableNarrator perspective of Earl Turner]], there is the (very likely) possibility that he's distorting the events he's relating to the audience. It's possible the world he's describing isn't even a dystopia in the first place. For all we know, Earl and his goons might just be exaggerating what they feel is wrong with western society to justify their atrocities.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: It's a story where a group of fanatical white supremacist terrorists are portrayed as heroes. Needless to say, it doesn't have any fans who aren't also on that end of the political spectrum.

** Even with literally every single racist stereotype Neo-Nazis have about Blacks, Jews, liberals, gays, feminists, non-Nazi white people, etc, in full effect, the "villains" still seem far less evil and monstrous than the "heroes" due in no small part to the lack of omnicidal extermination campaigns and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness how they treat those among their number who fail in their mission]] ([[CreatorsPet except Turner, obviously]]), and this is with the knowledge that ''[[HeroWithBadPublicity they know they don't have any public support whatsoever]]''. In fact, these omnicidal nuclear terrorists would actually make for great villains in any other setting. As comically tyrannical as the System is in the story, the Organisation often commit acts that are far worse as petty revenge in [[MoralMyopia a staggering display of hypocrisy]].

* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: Arguably inverted. The author tries to promote terrorism and genocide against non-Whites, but in the process portrays the Organization's efforts in that direction as annihilating 90% of humanity and reducing the Earth to an uninhabitable wasteland with humanity forced to live in nuclear bunkers. As such, it ends up showing that the method the author is promoting will ''end the world''.

* AcceptableTargets: Literally every group of people on the planet that doesn’t fall into the very narrow category of Aryans who share the author’s exact political views.

* EsotericHappyEnding: All Jews and non-Whites have been annihilated... in a lengthy campaign involving nuclear, biological and chemical warfare, which has reduced Earth to a tenth its population and will most likely yield a severe fallout. [[KarmicDeath The only upside is that the protagonists are probably going to contract radiation poisoning and die from the ensuing fallout they caused]].

* HarsherInHindsight:

** The end of the book concludes with the statement that "just 110 years after the birth of [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler the Great One]], the dream of a white world finally became a certainty... and the Order would spread its wise and benevolent rule over the earth for all time to come." Exactly 110 years after Hitler's birth date, the [[UsefulNotes/Columbine Columbine High School massacre]] occurs, perpetrated by two students wanted to outdo the aforementioned Timothy [=McVeigh=]'s Oklahoma City bombing[[note]]they originally wanted to do it on the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing but postponed it to the following day due to receiving ammunition later than expected. Said following day just so happened to be Hitler's birthday[[/note]].
