Mein Kampf is not banned in my country, I can buy it, and I think everybody should be able to read it. You cannot defend against something you don't understand

Mein Kampf is not banned in my country, I can buy it, and I think everybody should be able to read it.
You cannot defend against something you don't understand.
Reading it (or the little red book), you will notice there is nothing incredible about it.
It's a good way to understand the banality of evil.
It's a good way to see what currently in our society echoes it: we are not freed from evil, it can come back any time.
And the "push on unsuspecting children" narrative is worn out. Nobody push such dangerous book on children unless already twisted. Nobody ever told me "read it, it's good for you". Everybody always said: "dangerous book, read it with history in mind", if they ever talked about it.
We push Harry Potter on kids, not Mein Kampf.
