a lot of career writers are either from rich families or who had a job until they could make money from royalties
your options are:
>making quick and sellable slop to finance your personal projects
>try your luck at the industry, but good luck if you aren't a genderqueer bipoc or don't have connections in the industry

What's wrong with reading Mein Kampf? It's a great glimpse into the chain of events that led to the Nazi state, and shows the kind of popular desperation that can bring about drastic, almost uncontrollable change in a modern world. Mein Kampf isn't a memetic hazard SCP that magically turns you into le ebil Nazi or whatever, it's just psychology, sociology, and history playing out in a real-world scenario.
