content: Reading the Mein Kampf together: part 4 We are back with another episode of "reading the Mein Kampf together", i decided to add more then one quote to each episode, because i don't have time to post as often as i'd wanted, and also because i'm finding a lot of quotes, since i don't want to throw them away or drag this for too long i will put two-three every time. N. 1  "I had carefully avoided any public appearance, though i think that i studied politics more closely than many other men. Only in the smallest groups did i speak of the things which inwardly moved or attracted me. This speaking in the narrowest circles had many good points: i learned to orate less, but to know people with their opinions and objections that were often so boundlessly primitive" This quote resonated with me personally, as it is exactly my approach to politics right now, speaking vis-a-vis with a small circle of people is better, because there isn't the element of looking good to an audience or making a show, you simply debate and learn what the other person really thinks, the more distant he is from you the better, because we need to have a profound understanding of what we are up against, not only from what is being said by politicians or political campaign, but mostly from how the average man (or in most cases, woman), justifies to himself such ideas that we consider heinous and toxic, we need to have that understanding to deconstruct them. N. 2  "Thus, in the course of a few weeks, it was possible to conjure up names out of the void, to associate them with incredible hopes in the part of the broad pulic, even to give them a popularity which the great man often does not obtain his whole life long; names which a month before no one had even seen or heard of, while at the same time old and proved figures of political or other public life, though in the best of health, simply died as far as their fellow men were concerned, or were heaped with such vile insults that their names soon threatened to become the symbol of some definite act of infamy or villainy. We must study this vile jewish tecnique of emptying garbage pails full of the vilest slanders and defamations from hundreds and hundreds of sources at once, suddenly and as if by magic, on the clean garments of honorable men, if we are fully to appreciate the entire menace represented by these scoundrels of the press" This i think speaks for itself, he fully understood how the mass media operates, and it seems like some things never change.
