    Heinlein was a huge friend to Philip K. Dick, and any number of Jewish science fiction writers. He was one of the first writers to have an African woman as a hero, one of the first to have a transman character. Stop using the word ‘fascist’ for anyone on the Right. It dilutes the term.

      and any number of Jewish science fiction writers.

      And?

      He was one of the first writers to have an African woman

      And?

      one of the first to have a transman character.

      Again… and?

      Stop using the word ‘fascist’ for anyone on the Right. It dilutes the term.

      All right-wingers walk the same path. If you write fascist drivel, you are a fascist. Heinlein was a fascist. Stop making excuses for him.
