He was a great orator but pretending that he could write in order to be edgy is really a stretch.

No. It's shite. Read Celine or Mishima instead.

Get the fuck back to Pol.
The fact that we even have this thread is a decent start.
It really opened my eyes to the redpill.
Read it if you want objective, undistorted, non-ideological Truth, and not the leftist lies that is plaguing academia today. If you want to become like the rest of us intellectuals who browse /pol/, then you better get started.
See you on the other side! You'll see how deep the rabbit hole goes
>>7645217
>Read it if you want objective, undistorted, non-ideological Truth
are you from the past? do you live in a cave or something?
>>7645063
>ideology has nothing to do with aesthetics
But there are certain ideologies that run contrary to promoting the arts. The Weimar Republic experienced a golden age of cinema, and Nazism destroyed that. There have been no great works of literature to come out of North Korea, nor can there be, because sucking Kim's dick makes for boring literature. The only good "North Korean" literature would be from people who escaped the country.
Conservatism can produce great art, but fascism can't.
I never understood all the hate Hitler gets on /lit/
>>7645657
The light on the cave wall is the most distorted of truths. You have to leave the cave to accept the redpill.
>>7645702
>The Weimar Republic experienced a golden age of cinema, and Nazism destroyed that.
like Triumph of the Will isn't cinema at its purest
>>7645713
It's propaganda though. Fiction (like the works of Lang and Lubitsch) was ground to a halt.
>>7645702
>Heidegger, Breker, Riefenstahl, Goebbel's propaganda, Jünger, Benn, Speer, Hugo Boss
Nazism cost Germany many great writers and artists, but to say it didn't produce art is wrong

For me, personally, Hitler was the greatest person who has ever lived. Really been portrayed horrifically by Jewish-run media post-WW2

It's got some interesting autobiography notes, as long as you read the proper translation. (Stalag)
His second book is much better.
Hitler was an objectively bad writer.
>>7648320
I enjoyed his second book. Pretty interesting. Even his first book, while choppy in english, gave me some insight into his younger years
This book is great.
If /lit/ doesn't like it shows that /lit/ is more pretentious than clever.

Hitler appropriated the idea of Lebensraum from Karl Haushoufer (teacher of Rudolf Hess) and completely mangled the concept
Bad book. No logic. Lots of ranting. No discernible talent. Awful prose. Politics tier (e.g Sarah Palin tier, Trump, etc.). Don't waste your time.
>>7648674
>P-Pls staph disrupting my circlejerk ;_;

I wasn't circle jerking in the thread, just saw a shit post and came into thread to see if they were breaking rules, like a good snitch does.
Read through the replies and saw samefagging, called it out for what it is.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned his table talks. Hitler knew some essential truths
>>7648674
I'm not even from /pol/.
90% of the people who say Hitler's books are shit, haven't even read them.
They are OK, and unimpressive. But not "a long angry rant"
>>7649085
This. Mein Kampf was written by an idealistic art student. The Table Talk is his outlook after real world experience. Mein Kampf is pushed to blunt his message, while this is almost completely unheard of. His exposition of British and American motivations and goals must also be a reason why this is little mentioned. History would reveal much accuracy on his part.
>>7645063
I actually enjoyed it, I thought it helped humanize Hitler a bit. We would so much like to believe that a person could never do the things that he did and that he was just a freak of nature, but he wasn't, he was a logical human being just like the rest of us, he was legitimately trying to improve the world and help his country into a better position. He was just not being a little girl about it and determined that empathy was weakness and there was no place for it.

What is the criteria for a good writer?
>>7652047
Having a deep understanding of grammar, understanding the weight and connotation of words, and, most importantly, having and developing unique and original ideas.
>>7652051
>Having a deep understanding of grammar
Post examples where Hitler doesn't meet this in Mein Kampf. Remember, it was written in German.
>understanding the weight and connotation of words
See above.
>having and developing unique and original ideas.
Is that more important than the idea being correct?
>>7645757
Are you repeating uneducated drivel about Boss designing uniforms or how is that related?
>>7652057
Have you read it in German? I've read excerpts and judging by those he doesn't meet those criteria. Which isn't surprising since he wasn't really an author nor scientist.
>Is that more important than the idea being correct?
His ideas as presented in Mein Kampf are biologically not correct if that's the definition you want to go by.
>>7652083
>Have you read it in German?
Yes.
>I've read excerpts and judging by those he doesn't meet those criteria. Which isn't surprising since he wasn't really an author nor scientist.
Any examples?

Explain.

Honestly I can't find the part now, because I don't have a copy, but I remember reading some bits comparing humans to dog breeds to make a point about how it's wrong to mix races. The premise that mixing breeds is bad doesn't hold up today.
>>7652123
>Honestly I can't find the part now, because I don't have a copy, but I remember reading some bits comparing humans to dog breeds to make a point about how it's wrong to mix races.
Hmm.
>The premise that mixing breeds is bad doesn't hold up today.
Actually it holds up better when considering the issues, mental and physical, that mongrels have today.
>>7652123
>The premise that mixing breeds is bad doesn't hold up today.
Yes it does, mixed breeds aren't any healthier than pure/designer breeds but are much much harder to diagnose because they suffer from conditions found in neither parents and/or both.

This is where you fucked up and invalidated anything you previously said.

Did you read the paper or at least the abstract?
>Genetic disorders differed in expression. No differences in expression of 13 genetic disorders were detected between purebred dogs and mixed-breed dogs (ie, hip dysplasia, hypo- and hyperadrenocorticism, cancers, lens luxation, and patellar luxation). Purebred
dogs were more likely to have 10 genetic disorders, including dilated cardiomyopathy, elbow dysplasia, cataracts, and hypothyroidism. Mixed-breed dogs had a greater probability of ruptured cranial cruciate ligament.

And you are samefagging so much.

Hitler didn't write the book. He was a secretive genius. He would never tell the world what he truly knew, only enough to bring you over to his side. This is almost like Donald Trump's book in a sense. It is politics for the plebs. It doesn't mean Hitler was dumb, only that he pandered to the masses.

>>7656908
>Why the hell do you always get so triggered at the slightest manifestation of a right wing opinion?
Most right-wingers aren't too huge into Hitler
>>7656908
because it's a shitty book that edgy kids like for the shock value, adam smith's wealth of nations could be considered right wing and nobody will call you a /pol/tard for that
I have it on my computer and read most of it. It's really not good. I think Germans who supported him then would have supported Trump now. Inane and disdainfully written.
Yes
>>7645898
Marx is absolite shit

Anyone who has actually read that knows that its dreadful shit

its like he wants muslims telling him what to do

There are many interesting and cool things about hitler. They are often just overshadowed
>>7657548
Read it, it's hardly edgy at all. Unless you read the maximum over jew version.
>>7657653
Populism is great imo.
>>7657931
Anyone who reads it should think it's an OK book, within the politics of Germany at the time.

No. It's unpopular to support Trump. They would support some mainstream establishment shill. Now

By this definition Hitler was a good writer then, he invented National Socialism.

Are you implying Volkisch and National Socialism aren't ideologically distinct? That's like equating Fabianism with Marxism.

Haha oh wow
The Republic is pretty much required reading for anyone interested in politics, though, so I'll concede you that one.
>>7645063
Just read Evola instead, OP.
>>7659884
>>7659875
Again, it's an OK book within the reference with German politics of the time. There are some over zealous parts and it's relatively boring book unless you're fascinated by the man. (I am myself, particularly after reading Jungs writing on hitler [if you want to read them I can give them to you]) but his second book is much more refined and 100% written by him.
Also table talks.
