“The Slavic peoples, on the contrary, are not destined for their own life. They know this, and we do not have to convince them that they can do it too. We created the Baltic countries and Ukraine in 1918”

    Entire Mein Kampf is like this. Pretty embarassing book tbh. I read this once and asked myself “how that book could ever turn anyone into nazi”, and the obvious answer was “it did not, people claiming that were nazi even before reading”.

      It’s like the bible. Most Christians have never seriously read it, only heard cherry picked lines from their televangelist pastor. And if you actually did read it, you’d realize that it makes no sense and goes off the rails fast.

        I used to think that, then I sat down and read the thing. A lot of it is objectively great ancient literature, on the level of Virgil’s Georgics or the Homeric hymns.
