And you are commenting on the merits of various translations.
Take it from someone who has perused the German edition (my father's single-volume copy, issued to him when he was "volunteered" into the Hitler youth in 1937): It's the verbose rant of a loon. The font took a little while to get used to. No translation, no matter how bad, can hide the fact.
Lol, my spelling has always been bad.
I'd always heard mein kampf was a rambling mess, and I never cared much for hitler. He caused too many white people to die, and he ruined the eugenics movement.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Only 'stalog' contains a spelling error. The other two words do not. I leave it to you to work out what's wrong with them.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops. - Stephen J. Gould
