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 kinda miss The Secret era. As annoying as it was, I’ve never encountered a better heuristic for avoiding people, nor one that people seemed more eager to volunteer. At work, on dates - so many people seemed to bring it up.

      I feel like I need a similar sub to QAnon Casualties for my own mental health, sue the amount of family members who, despite being covered in debt, having poor romantic relationships etc., still believe in this weird bullshit.
