I bet most of them won't even read it till the end. And I understand them, it's a very boring book.

Go on long enough telling people are racist and dismissing their claims on that basis and people will get more extreme. No sane person wants to just sit by and watch their nation deteriorate due to influences from a f*cked up foreign culture. People tried to do it nicely at the very beginning, it didn't work and here we are. "Oh you don't like the high influx of immigrants and the fact that large group of them keeps disappearing from the immigration centers and officials can't say where they went? Racist!".
I don't care what color your skin is, I care about what kind of culture you come from and what kind of ideals it has carved into your brain and how you behave. So far I've heard a lot of complaints from immigrants about my country's food and the cold atmosphere and alleged blind racism. If you don't like the sanctuary one of the safest nations on this planet offers, you can leave.
Less rapists and social bums for us to deal with.

This is nonsense.
The ban on the book from various european countries has been lifted. Obviously theres some curiosity and the book got republished.
Just get out with your doomsday theories.

When you let in millions of unchecked people from a different religion/culture, don't get surprised.

Not surprised in the slightest seeing as people are sick of the refugee crisis, and now getting resentful over it. This has happened throughout history. As for the book itself, from what I understand, it's pretty terrible on a number of levels.

Some shit newspaper in Italy was giving copies of it FOR FREE.
It's all part of the game. We've had this before in the '70s. Radicalize the extremes till they become dangerous and people move back to the centre.
Hopefully THIS TIME people won't fall for it.

I'm not gonna speculate why it's popular now.
I will say that id like to read it. It's history. It would be interesting to know the mans state of mind. No reason to ban it outright. Also, the super strict ultra sensitive laws of Europe that restricts speech makes reading something considered taboo all the more enticing. For me, if you swing too far one direction, I'm naturally gonna pull in the opposite direction. If Europe when ultra conservative, I'd probably start reading some feminist frequency or some shit.

I never understood the banning of the book.
Who wouldn't want to go into the mind of one of the most destructive villain the world has ever known?
It's fascinating.

My friend is fascinated with him. It's quite weird. I get it though. Originally Posted by The BANNzoman

They'd be like "I like what you're saying, but I don't think your the right face for us ". Lol.

Well, it's not like Hitler said "elect me and i'm going to commit genocide". He said "elect me and i'll make Germany great again. No more poverty. No more starving. No more getting bullied by the rest of Europe, etc." Originally Posted by Tempguy

It's why I don't fault the German people for wwII or the holocaust. If you ask me, the fault lies solely on the diplomats at Versallis placing unrealistic standards on Germany following WWI, which lead to the hyperinflation crisis. John Maynard Keynes and many other sensible economists spoke out against the treaty, but they were ignored.

was curious what a First Edition copy of Mein Kampf signed by Hitler himself might be worth today
you could essentially trade it for a brand new 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK 300
a copy sold at auction last year for $44,000

Bavaria inherited after Hitler because officially he was registered as living in Munich, Bavaria. (He mostly lived in Munich in the 1920s.) A German court in 1948 decided that all his inheritance should go to the Bavarian state because of a law that was used to confiscate the property of Nazi leaders. He had a sister, who sued for part of the inheritance, but in the end didn't get anything. Originally Posted by Kotutha

Yeah I get that. That's what I was meaning. He was a great politician and very influential. My point was that I couldn't even get a part time management gig in ISIS even if I beat the army, but Hitler rose pretty high and basically nearly conquered erope.
I don't blame Germans for hitler. From my understanding most of them were pretty moderate. It would basically be like if Obama started up a gestapo sometime in '14 when we elected him because of hope and change.
