Why? That's one of the best and most popular accounts of the Nazis. Is it because it has a swastika on the cover?

I hate fucking stupid fucking normies who think that just for reading something you're immediately sympathetic to that particular issue. That's the reason why you can't grab that book in public. It's embarrassingly stupid but that's it.

I used to go to a jewish owned coffee shop to read all my David Irving books. Nobody said anything. Probably didn't even know who he was. Likely would have gotten more flak reading some safe propaganda in OP's pic just because of the swastika.

I don't get why publishers think putting swastikas on books is a good idea. Readers will understand it means it's related to WW2 but the general public don't see it that way.

There's nothing wrong with swastikas. It should be normalised and not a forced, autistic taboo.

Jokes on you. Everyone knows I've read Mein Kampf.

I also don't hide my nazi phase. What they don't know is I moved out not because it's wrong but because it's not necessary.

It's kind of funny that all of Conrad's attempts to combat racism are written off as horribly racist today.

and no, that would not happen to you here if you read a book on the bus kek what the fuck
maybe in less civilized balkan nations like Serbia, Albania and Kosovo. Though I find it hard to believe that it would happen even there.

Nothing. If I don't like the cover or don't want anyone to know what I'm reading I take the dust jacket off or read the book in my lap. But I guess Infinite Jest would be pretty embarrassing to read in public.
