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 had no idea (but looked it up and you’re correct! - with some exceptions). I was ignorant on that point. The Swipe Left was more about the content, but you’ve demonstrated a really important note that maybe I don’t always have the full story either.

    Maybe I should’ve swiped right LOL (No, no, no, I’m glad I didn’t, but you get my drift).
