#LittleBrother (by @doctorow@twitter.com) is a thrilling post-cyberpunk novel of living in a dystopian world, whilst if the Resistance are fighting against the evil government, they would be dreaded when attacking the people. We have to remain hidden from the hidden eye. #WeWillNotBeVilified

Becoming one of those brane geniuses who thinks I’m going to build a cryptocurrency polyamory island staffed by robots in the middle of the ocean, and that the world’s blue-water navies will just leave us alone

Addendum 5.

Sorry, but I have to mention his 1961 editorial "Colonialism," in which (you guessed it), he says many stupid, racist things. Take this horrible snippet about why Native American nations lost their homelands:

You can peruse these COLLECTED EDITORIALS FROM ANALOG yourselves to see just what a horrible piece of shit this dude was.

Addendum 4.

That same collection contains the 1965 editorial "Breakthrough in Psychology!" in which Campbell dismisses the notion of police brutality against Black people and declares that the Black community needs to start disciplining itself.

Addendum 3.

In Campbell's 1963 essay in favor of segregation (in a collection edited by Harry Harrison) he declares, "The Caucasian race has produced super-high-geniuses by the dozen in the last five thousand years; the Oriental race has, also. The Negro race has not."

JFC.

Ben Bova (from the DVD): "John, at one point, said, 'The only person who makes slavery possible is the slave.' That you always had the option to, you know, go out and die, if you feel slavery is so terrible."

Yeah, fuck this fucking bastard.

Addendum.

By the way, this quote is taken from the DVD "John W. Campbell's Golden Age of Science Fiction," Chapter 8 - A Changing World (Social Issues).

Many other authors shared stories of his racism and fascism.

Here's the transcript:

Until white fans/authors/editors ... & white politicians, businessmen, etc. ... admit their collective, ill-gotten privilege & willingly CEDE significant power to folks they've collectively oppressed, then SFF & the US will be problematic at best. Racism runs deep in both.

We ONLY get better, as a community of fans, as a nation, if we confront the dark truths of our past, including the evil of our revered patriarchs, most of whom need to be taken down off their pedestals ... some, like Confederate statues, needing to be torn down & shattered.

A white man says that of Campbell, and no one bats an eye. But Ng makes the same observation NOW, at this time of rising fascism, and SFF fanboys lose their shit attacking her.

Sounds ... pretty fucking racist to me.

He went on to add, "At the time of Watts, when I was on a panel with him, he got - and I didn't think he could go this far - he said, 'You know, the reason the Black people are rioting is because they're unhappy, because they would rather be slaves. And he believed that.'

So in 1971, Michael Moorcock said of John W. Campbell: "The man was an out-and-out fascist. I mean, he was a straightforward, old-fashioned American fascist, you know, pre-war fascist as it were, in that he believed that blacks should be re-enslaved. This is the truth."

@doctorow@twitter.com: Jeannette Ng's Campbell Award acceptance speech correctly identifies Campbell as a fascist.
