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 mean I’ve got this one on my shelf along with the Holy Bible and the Quran even though I’m an Atheist. You still swiping left?

        Oh, yes! If they specify “the musical, though! I see it every time the tour comes through and have all of the cast albums, plus a libretto I get signed at stage doors!” then that’s green-flag, spouse-them kinda taste in media, imho.

      If she is a Mormon, and interested in me at all given what my profiles say about me, then it’s a huge green flag! Anyone with an oppressive religious background who is looking for a perv like me is gonna be a LOT of fun to play with, and rewarding to “save”. BTDT. Straight from *** Bible College, tracking to become a fundie preacher, to sex parties and dungeons, finally exploring the desires she’d had all her life and believed that religion could cure. A several year affair, twenty years ago. We’re still besties, she’s healthy, happy, sane, strong, and has a wonderful life partner.
