Hitler was greatly written, so were most of the corporate 'extras' and his characterisation of the contemporary German media landscape in general, but the Berlin broad was annoying in the book as well as the film.
The film captured a lot of the original humour in Hitler and the petty media execs are ludicrous as well, but the meta-stuff was pretty weak, and the Jewish sidekick guy was just there so Hitler could speak in dialogue (instead of a voice-over monologue, for example). Ending was flat in both, felt like they were setting up for sequels.
For some reason I loved hearing Hitler rap 'nigger nigger'.

>implying sincerity has anything bearing on aesthetic merit
See Arthur K. Moore's essay 'Lyric Voices and Ethical Proofs'.
As for Mein Kampf, its lack of aesthetic merit comes from Hitler's lacking aesthetic sense/writing capabilities. Throughout Mein Kampf you'll find a variety of grammatical errors, extensive hyperbole, an over-use of what the Germans call 'Nominalstil' in a failed attempt to make his words more momentous and serious than they should/could be, list upon list where one 'point' can span about a whole paragraph, lack of coherence and all-around clarity, and also a huge number of colloquial expressions, old adages, and other cliches that would make Nabokov carve out his own eyes.
You could probably find more, but this is what I find striking. I even found it slightly worse than I'd exptected. In any case, it's a bad book which was criticised even by Hitler's Nazi contemporaries for its literary dilettantism. It'll be worth the read only because of a historic interest, and anyone who advocates reading Mein Kampf as 'literature' without reference to Hitler or his time is a pseud.

Not that it matters, of course, because people will keep remaking this thread every week without more than a line of commentary, like the OP faggot in the above.

I'm trying to find an ebook/.pdf for Difference and Repetition.

It's fine if it's a legitimate link that I have to pay for, I'm sure it'll be cheaper than buying a physical copy anyway. It doesn't seem to be on the typical ebook sites/stores.


This has about the first 30 pages or so but that's about it.

Also, if you guys have any specific thoughts about him, and specifically this text, I'd like to hear what you've gotta say about it.

Can recommend Siddharta even though it might not be his best work. I've attended a Zizek lecture but I've never read anything by him, is it even worth the time?

Also during a lecture he was compared to G.E. Lessing as criticising and exposing the degeneracy, hypocrisy and wanton indifference of the ruling class(es) of the Enlightenment/Late Enlightenment. As such I don't know if he was that interesting or groundbreaking, but time also didn't allow us the continuation of the above parallelle, so maybe it's something to consider.
