Watch On the Rhine and Troy Rising are generally considered his biggest “mask off” moments. I gave up on him after Troy so I can’t speak for his zombie series but I must assume the evidence keeps piling up.
The thing with Ringo is there’s never one moment where he lays it all out, it’s weird little moments over his entire bibliography that turn little dogwhistles into a bullhorn.
He’ll never say he’s a Nazi, but it sure is weird how he hates all the things Nazis do and loves all the things they love.
Which is honestly a shame, he has the occasional cool idea, and I don’t mind saying I’d still read an actual ending to the Posleen War or the Looking Glass series. I think the Looking Glass actually predicted WFH and the backlash to it pretty well.
What might be interesting about him is that I’m pretty sure you could map out the “libertarian”- Tea Party - “far right” pipeline if you read him in order, he definitely gets worse over time.
I just ready a synopsis for Watch on the Rhine. That’s batshit crazy lol. That’s as clear as it gets.
And it’s a shame, I really would have liked an ending to the council wars.
John Ringo like the sci-fi author? Got any examples? I devoured his books as a teen but I never knew he was a nut.

Or maybe he just got bolder…
