Mein Kampf

When I first decided to review Mein Kampf I was hesitant, as you could imagine anyone would be in this day and age. Possibly more so than ever, this book, is without question, controversial. The exact reason I was hesitant was also the driving factor for me to go through with it. I wanted to read Hitler's own words and thoughts that he himself put to paper. I wanted to know exactly what he had to say instead of hearing another opinion piece only based on him. First things first, this book isn't just something you just happen to pick up. This isn't your Saturday afternoon trip-to-a-book-store grab. You should have knowledge of WW1, WW2, politics in general, and should have a decent grasp on current events worldwide. If you don't have these qualifications, you won't make it very far into this book. It is mental heavy lifting. It took me a solid month to read cover to cover due to the decompressing of knowledge I had to do every so often. This isn't a book you pick up and read straight through. It takes time, maybe some research here and there, as well as a mental grasp on what it is you're reading. Now that you have all of that information, let's get into it. The first thing you're met with when you crack this book open, is a warning of anti-semitism, racism, and everything Hitler-esque. I skipped this warning. I don't care what someone says I should be wary of reading, and neither should you. Someones opinion of what you're about to read shouldn't sway your decision to read, or your opinion of the book when you've finished reading. The first thing Hitler said that caught my attention was his say on the lack of jobs in Germany after WW1. He states that there isn't enough money at the end of the week, and the family goes hungry. Often, this drives the man of the home to alcohol due to stress of not providing. From there the man begin to use the money in his pay to drink away his problems, leaving the wife no option but to leave and raise broken children for society to deal with. - This does happen. Alcohol does drive a wedge in between families, and it does leave behind a single parent more often than not, and damaged children. Quickly after this we're met with the first encounter of anti-semitism in the book. And that is Hitler questioning even in his youth if the chosen were a farse. He states Jews will blend in with everyday Germans. They will learn the language, intermingle, and work amongst them, but once confronted or questioned, they recoil in fear and claim sanctuary as the chosen. He begins to question if they are actually a religion or a race. He calls into question their culture of sexual deviancy in art and theatre, especially in regards to children seeing it, as well as their over representation in journalism and their need for social justice. - We see this today as well. If you're unfamiliar with the music video, "I'm not white I'm Jewish" I recommend that you do. You will see the pattern he is referring to. As for sexual deviancy, this is also a fact. It is a fact that the first transgender clinic was ran by Jews, as well as the current push for trans kids, LGBT kids, and even the push for legalizing pedophilia. Do any of us think Hitler is in the wrong for saying children shouldn't be exposed to pornography? I found it fascinating how fixated Hitler was on the Alsace-Lorraine and South Tyrol debacle. Chapter after chapter he harped on the losing of the Alsace-Lorraine territory to the "French Hydra" - this is actually where my family is from - As well as the South Tyrol. He very much took it personally that any other country should expand their territory, unless that country was his own. This is a part that I disagree with. Territories are fought for and lost or gained all of the time, and it is unfortuante that those territories were lost. But Hitler wanted more than just those two territories back, he spoke like he wanted France off of the map completely, which may have happened had Hitler been a leader longer. Next we get into Hitlers view on race mixing. Which as you can imagine, wasn't positive. "The result of all racial crossing is therefore in brief always the following: (a) Lowering of the level of the higher race; (b) Physical and intellectual regression and hence the beginning of a slowly but surely progressing sickness." I do agree with this. He was referring to the influx of Africans coming into Europe (ironic?) mixing with the aryan people and therefore lowing the aryans IQ - which is factual. But of course we could apply this as well to Asiatic IQ in saying a Japanese woman mixing with a Hispanic man would produce a baby with a lower IQ. That's just a fact regardless of which two races you use the example on. As for the sickness aspect, that is also true. Mixed children tend to be less healthy than their unmixed parent's. As he stated as well, "Mother nature has little love for bastards." I found his view of self-preservation also to be factual, and of course, controversial. He states that the white race has a natural instinct to self-preserve. We plan for our children, our children's children, as well as many more generations to come. Where as the Africans that were coming to Europe didn't look beyond that days dinner, or creating a family in the here and now. They didn't plan for their children's futures - this is very much still evident today especially in Africa. Hitler also makes the point of the Jew always becoming the face of a new social justice era, and how they suddenly become a 'benefactor and friend of mankind.' He goes on to say that to strengthen their political opinions, they try to tear down the racial and civil barriers as well as use religious tolerance to gain footing time and time again. All of this is done in the name of progress. By making the minority had all of those who are doing bette than them, the Jew is able to establish a Marxist doctrine - Is this not also evident today? He also states, "It was and it is Jews who bring the Negroes into the Rhineland, always with the same secret thought and clear aim of ruining the hated white race by the necessarily resulting bastardization, throwing it down from its cultural and political height, and himself rising to be its master." - look into who funds the mass migration of Africans into every country today...except for Israel. From here we learn of Hitlers beginnings in the German Worker's Party, and how he turned a group with 7 members into the Reich we all learned about in school. There were many parts of this book that made me wonder if Hitler was some sort of psychic, or if the same plan is being put on repeat again. It seems to be the same approach,same methodology. There are multiple civil wars and revolutions going on throughout the world fighting exactly what Hitler was fighting in 1918. Who we learned about in school isn't who you see on video, or even in this book. He wasn't a lunatic. He didn't "take over" Germany. There's a reason why he was voted into power. But most of us aren't taught about that part. We're painted a picture of a mad dictator who swindled power and killed 6 million Jews and gypsies. We aren't told what brought the country to that point. If you'd like to purchase Mein Kampf, you can do so here. If you enjoy my reviews I ask you consider donating as a way of saying thank you.
