Look, I get that Hitler’s early appeal had roots in German frustration after World War I, and his Germany First rhetoric resonated with many. But let’s not sugarcoat it. His obsession with “purity” led to horrific scapegoating of Jews and others. Mein Kampf isn’t just a commentary, it’s a blueprint for hate. Read it, sure, but don’t romanticize the guy. Evil isn’t a lie here.

You make a mistake when you say the Jews were scapegoated. There are reasons for that. International Jewry was boycotting German goods in a big way which stressed their economy which is how Krystalnact happened. It didn't come out of nowhere. Neither did Mien Kampf, which is actually a journey of discovery of dislike for internationalism as a whole as opposed to nationalism, and pride in German identity.
