Agreed. We read multiple passages in university, because [Mein Kampf]'s a historical source that had an enormous impact on the world. It's especially important to recognize the dangerous parallels that are still around today.

Some random transphobic children's picture book can suck it tho, no reason to ever look at that.

Nothing witty to say, I'm depressed at this cross-section of humanity.

Lmao u can easily analyse a transphobic childrens book to learn more about the author, the nature of transphobia and the methods used to communicate those ideas by the author

Thats the very nature of deconstruction

Never thought we'd reach the day that Mein Kamph is okay but a random kids book isn't because we have to protect trans youth. I had to read Mein Kamph for my history class in college and it was about as educational as reading a schizos ramblings.

Everytime I read about some event in Mussolini's life after meeting Hitler I start to feel bad for him. Then I remember that he chose that path of idiocy and had no one to blame but himself, and the feeling quickly subsides.

Das Kapital is midwit-tier derivative garbage.

Capital in the 21st century is somehow both a better economic text and generally more radicalizing as a description of how market forces will eliminate payments to labor as industry evolves.

Both will prevent you from getting any kitty if you talk about it

Afaik barely anyone bought the book back then either, until hitler took power and handed it out in schools and such.

People bought the book to show allegiance. If you didn't have it, maybe you were a subversive. Hitler himself actually got rich specifically from the royalties as a result.

But yeah I don't think people actually read it. You just _had_ to have it on your coffee table in case they came knocking.

It's ironic too because imagine if the same had been done towards LGBT authors or the protests back in the 80s? The protections we have around speech are the reason that they have the freedoms they do now. Now they want to shut down the same way they were able to spread their message. I hate this gay world.

I'll believe a bookstore is anti-censorship when they start carrying copies of the original, unabridged versions of books like The Science of Revolutionary Warfare, The Anarchist Cookbook, and The Poor Man's James Bond. 'til then, it's all talk. :marseycensored:

The Simple Sabotage Manual is kino.

https://gist.github.com/kennwhite/467529962c184258d08f16daec83d5da

When the simple saboteur isn't slashing tires or forgetting to stock the bathroom with potty paper — yes, that is a suggestion — there is always what the manual refers to as “general interference with organizations and production,” which is a very official way to describe someone being extremely annoying at work.

If you're in a meeting, “talk as frequently as possible and at great length. Illustrate your ‘points' by long anecdotes and accounts of personal experiences. Never hesitate to make a few appropriate patriotic comments,” reads the manual, adding that it's important to constantly bring up irrelevant issues and haggle over language.

“When possible, refer all matters to committees, for ‘further study and consideration.' Attempt to make the committees as large as possible — never less than five.”

For employees, work slowly and inefficiently. And if your boss has a problem with it, “pretend that instructions are hard to understand, and ask to have them repeated more than once.”
