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 don’t care too much if someone really liked fiction I thought was poorly written, but as a woman, I’m simply not going to put myself through trying to date a man who idolizes Jordan Peterson or Ben Shapiro. The odds I’d be compatible with a person like that are too low to bother. I’d easily prefer being single forever than tying myself to a bigot.

      Tying yourself to a bigot is honestly the best you can hope for with men who idolize people like that. Ask me how I know lol.
