Currently reading mein kampf. However i put a plain papercover on it bevause i dont care do be assaulted when i read it in public.
So far i dont think mein kampf's insights are that mind blowing. I think the real value of reading the book is in realising how much bullshit people talk about hitler and how few of it is true.

It's actually an undefendable thesis, consider Christ was all about faith. "Your faith has saved you" is a very common saying of his for a reason.
Unless we fabricate "the real Jesus".
