I’ll go with the low-hanging fruit: Mein Kampf. I’ve read it, cover to cover. As a piece of propaganda, it’s good. As an example of good writing? Absolutely not (though I will admit I have only read it in translation). Oh, and the whole fascist, racist, and generally shitty worldview of the author that he infuses into the text. And the fact that the author is literally Hitler. You 5-star that book? You’re a Nazi. Period. And as a Jewish person, I don’t look too kindly on them.

    I’ve read the Bible, the Quran, Mein Kampf, and (painfully) Das Kapital, and I agree with none of them. I still own them all, because I picked most of them up either second hand or they were gifted (in the Qurans case).

      And? Did you rate them 5/5 Stars if you didn’t agree with them?

      The “owning” part was specifically toward Mein Kampf and the special situation that it has in Germany.

      I really don’t understand why I have to justify this to so many people who just disregard the fact that I was speaking especially about Germany and said so several times in my post.
