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.

    Turner max had a website, probably still does, back in like ‘01, ‘02? With his stories, which my 20 or 21 year old self thought was funny. Haven’t reread any of it, but now it’s so effing cringe(along with other issues).

      Yeah the one where he talks about having sex with a little person and loves the idea that his dick would look big in her “little hands” is so fucking weird…

      I used to live down the street from his dad’s restaurant and ate there often. His dad was a real asshole.

      Tucker Max

      I unironically think Tucker Max is a major data point when I try to draw a line from early internet culture to Andrew Tate and his kind today
