Profound wisdom can express itself in simple raiment, yet utter nonsense can proclaim itself with arrogant use of pomposity. on the one side is the late Bertrand Russell, who expresses himself in ways that a fairly-smart high-school student can understand (if he so cares). In contrast one finds incomprehensible balderdash in the official explanations of Nazi racism, especially in Alfred Rosenberg's Myth of the Twentieth Century. All I could respond to about a paragraph of its translation is that that is the purest Scheiss that anyone could have ever written.
Have you ever heard of the Sokal affair? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sokal_affair
Well, I'm not poetic and I keep it simple. You should listen yourself and take your own advice and stop posting crap/shit/Scheiss like this. Here's the deal, if you are unable to recognize the obvious signs of an oppressive regime and the activities and unwavering ideals associated with oppressive regimes then you shouldn't be propping yourself up with a book that you have read but don't seem have learned anything from doing it several times.
