For some reason I was dumb enough to download a copy

Eventually I used it as fuel for a bonfire, good times.

I'm not particularly surprised the 1930s equivalent of Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury didn't grip you. Mein Kampf is a book drenched in the politics of the time. A good annotated copy would add the proper context so you could understand the author's intent, not try to debunk political arguments no modern reader would understand.

That's what a respectable scholar or historian would do. But as we all know Adolf Hitler was literally Satan, not even a human being, and any attempts to rationalize his ideas or those of his follows can't be allowed. Then we risk people possibly agreeing with some of them.

Oh trust me it was for entertainment, I know all too well the history of the Nazi regime. Absurd, amusing, atrocious, all in one. Hitler's life reads like something come straight to life from Shakespeare or Byron, but the man was irredeemably evil, no doubt, even though he was human.

Maybe, but it wasn't even that, history is my forte so I know all about the "politics of the time," it was just the writing style that got to me, Hitler was an atrocious writer, I wouldn't recommend Mein Kampf to all but the most dedicated of historical students myself you know.

I don't know if I should tell you that part of my reply was sarcastic. Hitler was just some politician asshole who could orate well. He wasn't Satan.

If only the man could've focused his autistic obsessions with, say, building public libraries and feeding the homeless instead of conquering Europe and exterminating the Jews, his oratory powers could've been put to good use

I was actually rather sad to discover I was 2 years late for the study group.

Would anyone like to start a scifi study group with me? Alternatively, I always like learning new things, we could have sort of a skills exchange to teach one another about our hobbies and interests?
