Content Enjoyer

5th star because it’s relatable for someone with unpopular opinions- and spoiler: getting double crossed by a lawyer who clearly, doesn’t care about you. Anyways, I found this book as one from a middle school library, that some kid forgot to return. (Lol) And I gave it a read being the casual book enjoyer that I was, and am. It gives you the “I hate my government, but I can’t do anything” feels. Helemuth just has to keep his thoughts in his head- only trusting a few individuals. While everyone else is a proud Nazi. I mean again, he can only trust a few people with his thoughts. And then everyone from Helemuth’s church believes that rebelling is a sin, which also adds to the frustration. Having to hang on to your morals while living under the regime of a blatantly evil government, reminds me of my own grievances while being told by everyone that I was just pathetic. Out of all of that, the book is very much life-filled. Detail to characters and all that. What’s also amazing is the fact that the author sort of imagined unfilled gaps of Helemuth’s life and its quite reasonably presented. The icing on the cake was knowing that at least Helemuth’s friends were okay. I love WWII era novels and this one sliced my head with a machete. Short read but you can get a lot out of it. And to all the Helemuths out there, literally no matter what regime or corrupt government, or annoying assertive establishment that doesn’t allow you to breathe, you live under, hang tight, make some history. “What kind of man fights for what he knows is wrong?” Let that sit in. Your time will come some day. Even if it contradicts my own worldview.

Apparently, my hyper-partisan in laws made me check out this book… but at least I can actually say something now. For what it’s worth, it tells you how hard it is to deal with genuinely upset activists who were lead in by security guards… IRONICALLY whilst as a security guard. (LOL) Here to state, that any clown who thinks this was an “attack”, needs to look at themselves in the mirror and ask themselves if THEY are the problem. Anyways, this guy who wrote the book definitely isn’t stupid, he sure knows how to profit off you gullible establishment-worshipping sheeple. (The five star reviewers). You are being lied to. If the storming was your doing, you’d defend it- no doubt about it. Your hypocrisy disgusts me. Anyone could tell you anything it looks like. And the audacity you guys have to blubber about “democracy and freedom and the constitution” (while supporting policies that restrict civil liberties, while only supporting worthless and unnecessary “social liberties” and economic restrictions). And the audacity y’all have to call the stormes “anti American” while y’all support flag burning and whine about our history. Get a life check.

I read this in middle school, and I didn’t understand it initially, but I know the story, and luckily, it all came back to my head, and I actually understand it now. There’s a heck lot of themes in it. Just approach it with a heightened mind. Of course, the story within itself was fairly enjoyable because you have a bunch of unhinged boys going nuts and declaring war on each other. I swear to god, middle schoolers from the late 2010’s would definitely do this to each other if left unattended for a very long time.
