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.
Oh wow, that’s a blast from the past. I remember having some high school friends who were obsessed with him. It felt a little gross at the time, but not enough to raise any red flags. I guess I didn’t really understand the difference between him and something like Superbad, for example.
In hindsight, it’s revolting. Sort of an Andrew Tate precursor. I don’t talk to those friends anymore, but I like to think they also find it disgusting now, they weren’t bad people. Happy to say they never treated people like Tucker Max, despite all the talk.
