I know it’s a trilogy, which is not what you’re looking for, but since there is not much here I thought I’d throw it in anyway. Prince of Thorns is great grimdark. Sadly I think a lot of fantasy fiction is trilogies, so might be hard to find. Somehow a different Mark Lawrence book is on that article you linked, but not this one? That’s insanity. Lawrence is one of my favorite authors.

You’re right, it was more ambiguous, but only in context. Hard to do a more fervent nazi salute than Musk without being Hitler himself. I have a fear that conservatives are just going to start doing half-assed salutes everywhere and going “Musk isn’t a nazi, you’ll just call anything a nazi salute”
