What's the best edition to get? I'd prefer something with hardcover. Is the abridged really that bad?

Why is Oswald Spengler lumped in with alt-right literature? His text is quite authentic, detailed, and free from racism beyond what was normal in his era.

You guys memed me, this is pretty bad.

>wrong on half the facts like claiming the romans "invented" their history pre 250bc
>arbitrary reasonings like setting each civilization cycle to 1000 years
>arbitrarily comparing artists and generals of the different times on extremely superficial similarities (napoleon was totally alexander you guys, just like pythagoras was descartes!)

He has some nice insights here and there but they all seem to stem from just plainly wrong starting points. I'm less than halfway through the book but I dont think I can keep going, it seems too bullshitty.

Why the fuck did a moderator delete the thread image of Shirer's book?

I got an abridged copy of this for free. I'm not missing out on too much by reading the abridged version and not the full thing, right?

Besides obviously being about the decline of the west, what are the contents of this book?
Is it actually good or just a meme?
Is it worth it to read an unabridged version?
