The funny thing about that book is if you tell a neo-Nazi you've read it and have a criticism, they'll immediately ask which translation and claim most of them are a "Jewish trick".

Very interesting. That’s exactly what the media (even the traditional “liberal” media) does with Trump’s ramblings.
Today we call that “sane-washing.” And yes, it is a crime against humanity, and one we don’t complain about nearly enough.
Anyway, apparently I need to look into which translation I read.
