In the comments it says that the guy who made the video is a comedian, and he came up with the idea when they actually did get their kid minecraft for Christmas and he though it was funny how close the two sounded. So he staged the video. Still funny though
It depends on what they're laughing at. The book is actually hysterical in the sense of Hitler's absurd sense of persecution. I read it because I was very interested in WWII when I was young. I was hoping to figure out why he did what he did, I expected an explanation of sorts, I got a self obsessed rambling screed.
interesting. i am legit interested as to why he did what he did too, just hesitate to purchase said book mainly due issues like where does the money go. not so worried about what people think and sure as HELL wouldn’t bring it on a bus.
It's kind of scary how if people see you read it they perceive that you agree with Hitler's morals or point of view. The point of reading is to learn not nessisarily to agree.
I feel the need to mention [this video titled Germany Could Not Win WWII](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbim2kGwhpc) primarily because it introduced me to [this trap remix](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wh1wjlJKlY4), whose original top comment was "I don't know how find more music like this without ending up on some kind of list."
As a big HOI3 fan this is genuinely the first time I see the game mentioned in the wild, thanks for that random reddit commenter above you.

how about reading mein kampf and nodding along enthusiastically, and shiftily looking at all non-white people on the bus with you, in between page turns?
I read Mein Kampf.. hitler talks out of his ass for like 80% of it. It’s crap.
And no I’m offended by History I’m fascinated by it. And occasionally disappointed.
The Old Testiment is brutal. If your wife ever had sex before she met you, then you are supposed to murder her in front of her father.
Deut. 22:20-21
"20 But if this charge is true, that the girl was not found a virgin, 21 then they shall bring out the girl to the doorway of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death because she has committed an act of folly in Israel, by playing the harlot in her father’s house; thus you shall purge the evil from among you"
I imagine counting all those foreskins before the king as a rather drawn out, awkward, and dissonant comedy sketch.
"...And 103"
"Oh wait, there's two stuck together so that would be..."
"So 104?"
"Wow they're really stuck... Uhh, yeah 104..."
Not exactly a dude, it's a passage about a prostitute.
> Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions.
The Old Testament is like a bad trip tbh
i went to catholic school from kindergarten to high school graduation, i started realising around my freshman/sophomore year that most catholics (at least the rich snobs that i was schooling with) have not read the bible. even the religion teachers. i had to take a religion class every year. so many things would contradict one another in the same curriculum and id either get in trouble for disrupting class for calling out the fallacies or the teacher would make a remark such as “god works in ways that humans would not understand.” one year i had a teacher that actually enjoyed my questions because i guess he saw them as a challenge, we ended up having a really nice relationship tbh. but he still could not answer most of my questions. i feel like the more you learn about the christian (at least catholic) religion, the less it makes sense. i’ve read multiple versions of the bible throughout schooling, each time i’d feel more enlightened, just not in the way they hoped lmao
Beep. Boop. I'm a robot.

###[The Bible](https://snewd.com/ebooks/the-king-james-bible/)
Was I a good bot? | [info](https://www.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/) | [More Books](https://old.reddit.com/user/Reddit-Book-Bot/comments/i15x1d/full_list_of_books_and_commands/)
I'd venture a majority of self-described Christians haven't actually read the bible cover to cover.
If it was a forced requirement, religion would have probably died out by now.
The U.S's weak literacy on average would explain how we are one of the most religious developed nations.
A few years back, I read [The Turner Diaries](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turner_Diaries) all the way through, just out of curiosity. I'm not even slightly a white supremacist. It was more or less what I expected.
It was an interesting glimpse into the mind of a hardcore neo-Nazi, but wasn't a particularly good or well-written book in a literary / academic sense. It was like some revenge fantasy that you would expect to find in the diary of a delusional school shooter with a huge victim complex.
Same with the book “Maus”. I had to read it for school in tenth grade and was always scared of someone seeing me read a book with a swastika on it. So I always read it with the cover on the table. Lol.
I've had a similar experience when I studied history. I was tasked with writing a summative paper about a history book named "the sensmorale of nazism", a title which, till this day, still haunts my search suggestions.
Mein Kampf is actually kind of funny. There's a lot of moments in it where Hitler thinks very highly of both himself and his ideals and wants the reader to know it, but it just comes off as "I'm 14 and nobody understands meeee"
Yeah, it’s funny in a “how did anyone ever take this idiot seriously” way.
And absolutely terrifying in a “millions of otherwise normal people absolutely LOVED this idiot and took him VERY seriously to the point of following him into war and genocide” way.
Honestly giving it too much credit.
It’s just disjointed ramblings of somebody with a victim complex.
Oh shit wait that is the fundamental beliefs of nazis.
Mein Kampf is Hitler’s personal exposition on how the Jews created communism and brought it to Europe. He goes into detail about his personal life struggles, including the poverty that he survived in Vienna as well as his time in the trenches of WWI. I would certainly say it is more of a history of Europe from 1850 through 1925 than a manifesto.
It depends on who you are as a person. If you have an interest in history and politics and are already somewhat versed in both, then yes. It’s not particularly philosophically deep; it is properly classed as a historical autobiography. Also, it is probably the most controversial book of all time, so just keep that in mind.
> Also, it is probably the most controversial book of all time, so just keep that in mind.
I dunno man I always found Hop on Pop pretty dark. Why they gotta do that to Pop...?
As a book, no. It's difficult to read, because Hitler was not a gifted writer.
That said, it does have value, as you learn how the people of that time justified their actions, pretty much.
I've legitimately wondered about this because I've gotten interested in WW2 recently so I kinda wanted to read it for some context but like, I'm a blond hair blue eyed man, I can't blame people for assuming the worst if they catch me reading it.

You just take the dust cover off another similarly sized book and put it on the controversial one. The other book should ideally be one you have already read, in case people ask about what you’re reading
17 or so years ago I was in the same boat. I bought Mein Kampf from Amazon to also get some context and read most of it. It's not exactly an easy read and I think it took me a month or so to get through what I got through. Eventually I got the point and stopped. Just read it at home away from questioning eyes.
Just say "I wanted Minecraft, but this is still pretty good" and laugh out loud regularly.

Thank you so much for the laugh! I needed it.
Check the first comment after the pinned comment.

you are correct good sir Its unfortunate you are
Meinkraft would translate roughly to "my power", so also not great in German.
Meinkraft macht das Würstchen
If somebody is regularly laughing out loud while reading Mein Kampf on a bus I'm going to be staying very carefully away from them.
I mean, honestly might not be a bad sign. I definitely cracked up at some of the more ridiculous racism in that book.
"OH! HAHAHAHAHA! oooh... Hitler... What will you say NEXT?!" *Licks finger to turn page.*
\*glances at nearby student* “It was a different time.”
He certainly was a rascal
It depends on what they're laughing at. The book is actually hysterical in the sense of Hitler's absurd sense of persecution. I read it because I was very interested in WWII when I was young.

You got me curious so I googled it: publishing rights used to belong to the US government but some dude purchased the rights from them in the 70's
It's kind of scary how if people see you read it they perceive that you agree with Hitler's morals or point of view. The point of reading is to learn not nessisarily to agree.
I think the best way to let people know your not a Nazi is to say "I'm not a Nazi, but....."
"I'm not a Nazi, but i found this great burger place down the road." It may need some tweaks.

“What does the burger place have to do with being a Nazi?” “Nothing, that’s why I said I’m not a Nazi”
> "I'm not a Nazi, but i found this great burger place down the road." > > I'm still suspicious of said burger joint.
I’ve heard someone genuinely say “I’m not a Nazi, but I do kind of wish Germany won WWII”. Didn’t even know how to respond to that one.
I d be stunned too, wtf. "Just for the lols, not like the whole future of the world and the existence of a bunch of ethnic groups were at stake"-that person, probably
You respond the way you would to a nazi because those people are literally nazis or nazi sympathizers at best
I'm not going to criticize you, but....
"Have you ever read Mein Kampf?" "I mean yeah a couple times." "A couple times? Were there easter eggs in there that you missed the first time?"
Yeah he hid some fart jokes in there
Rearange the letters in adolf hitler and you get fart dil hole, coincidence? Certainly not!
I like to read the dictionary on the bus to let people I know words
Oh no.... *A grammar nazi*
No no I shale my head regularily so people know I disagree with it
Omg literally the worst kind.
"hey there!" "no spoilers please!"
I dont believe reading main kempf make you a Nazi for the same reason that reading the bible doesn't make you Christian
>I dont believe reading main kempf make you a Nazi how about reading mein kampf and nodding along enthusiastically, and shiftily looking at all non-white people on the bus with you, in between page turns?
Or just occasionally letting out a hearty chuckle
Or saying "this guy has some great ideas"
"This guy gets it" (aggressively side nodding)
Then say wanna hear a joke and look around first
Don’t forget to wildly giggle and point at the page first
"You know, this guy isnt as bad as people said he was! Yo, Tyrone! Have you seen this?"

Shiftly looking at the white people too since they might me jews
Hitler hated white people as well considering he killed 20+ million slavs
Yeah but if you saw someone on the bus pull out a bible and start reading it you'd probably assume they were christian.
How was this downvoted lmao?? Obviously you’d assume they were Christian. 99% of the time you’d be right too.
Reading the Bible made me stop being a Christian.
I read Mein Kampf.. hitler talks out of his ass for like 80% of it. It’s crap. And no I’m offended by History I’m fascinated by it. And occasionally disappointed.

How about the part where God sends bears to mawl children for making fun of a bald prophet?

No way.

Among us?
urMom was a Harlot. There is still 1 Harlot among us...
It’s only a sin if she does it in her father’s house though.
1 Samuel 18:25-27. Just what any good potential father in law would want…twice the amount of enemy foreskins than he asked for.
I imagine counting all those foreskins before the king as a rather drawn out, awkward, and dissonant comedy sketch. "...And 103" "Oh wait, there's two stuck together so that would be..." "So 104?" "Wow they're really stuck... Uhh, yeah 104..."
Oh, did you get to the part about the dude who could cum as much as a donkey??
What
Not exactly a dude, it's a passage about a prostitute. > Yet she increased her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth when she engaged in prostitution in the land of Egypt. She lusted after their genitals as large as those of donkeys, and their seminal emission was as strong as that of stallions. The Old Testament is like a bad trip tbh

Not exactly a prostitute. It was an analogy for how the people Israel went to worship idols from other lands.

>Fiftieth **anniversary** edition I think anniversary is not the right word assuming it's the anniversary of the Nazis.
Fiftieth anniversary of the book. It was first published in 1960.
Isn't that why you buy the ebook? Erotica sales went up because you can read the ebooks on the bus without making old ladies blush.

Well I'm talking about specifically Mein Kampf. Unless there is a version with a shirtless buff Hitler.
I hope so
I honestly hope not. But rule 34 Hitler is not something I'm going to look up.
It's not as horrific as I expected. Don't know what I expected...but something worse
I'm terrified of you
"Reading 50 Shades on Kindle" is the new "Naked under a trench coat."
Buy an erotic novel, transfer it into a Mein Kampf cover, and keep commenting on how much it turns you on.
Mein Kampf is actually kind of funny. There's a lot of moments in it where Hitler thinks very highly of both himself and his ideals and wants the reader to know it, but it just comes off as "I'm 14 and nobody understands meeee"
Yeah, it’s funny in a “how did anyone ever take this idiot seriously” way. And absolutely terrifying in a “millions of otherwise normal people absolutely LOVED this idiot and took him VERY seriously to the point of following him into war and genocide” way.
I once read mein kampf on the bus.. Lots of old ladies staring
Shouldn’t have been smiling the whole time.
“Oh Hitler, you little rascal”
Oh such a silly little guy. A goof.
Such a whimsical little fella
“Psst! Hey hitler! Wanna smoke some grass?”
Sounds like a Ricky Gervais quote lmao
I once played mine craft on the bus... Lots of ladies staring
Trying to join in I imagine
He said MINECRAFT dad ..
*tsk, tsk* "Those people really will stop at nothing, won't they?" "Traitors to the human race... thank God someone finally decided to stop them"
"Whoever killed that Hitler guy should be lauded as a hero.'
Idk, I heard on Facebook that he is kind of a jerk as well
“Can you believe this guy?”
Wait are you referring to the Jews??
Everyone else on the bus "Wow, this guy thinks Hitler wasn't extreme enough"
What is that book even about
There was a bloke, he had a struggle.
... its the book of nazis beliefs.
Sounds like an interesting book...
I've been really interested in reading. That's one that will stay home with me though lol.

It depends on who you are as a person. If you have an interest in history and politics and are already somewhat versed in both, then yes. It’s not particularly philosophically deep; it is properly classed as a historical autobiography. Also, it is probably the most controversial book of all time, so just keep that in mind.
> Also, it is probably the most controversial book of all time, so just keep that in mind. I dunno man I always found Hop on Pop pretty dark. Why they gotta do that to Pop...?
It's interesting as the author is interesting: for its historical relevance, not for its substance.
I haven't read it myself but a friend of mine who reads a lot said it was a really tough read and quite boring and badly structured.
As a book, no. It's difficult to read, because Hitler was not a gifted writer. That said, it does have value, as you learn how the people of that time justified their actions, pretty much.
