Modern AFD voters don't read their parties program either so there's that

I've attempted to read it. It's not good. Like not even just talking about the subject matter. It really is just poorly laid out in poorly written. I only managed to make it about a quarter of the way through before I had to set it down because it was just giving me a headache.

Huh, my pattern recognition is hitting me with Crowder, Shapiro, and Yiannopoulos. Wonder what that means.

AFAIK, he dictated it.

I read a lot about nazis, occasionally I idly think "wouldn't it be neat to own a Reich's coin or maybe a book". And then I think about it for 3 more seconds and go naaah

Mhm... imho it's somewhere between, I don't do battle with the six year old on the way to the pediatrician, but it absolutely was a Kampf.

Struggle is too tame but battle doesn't have quite the same additional less violent connotations as Kampf.

Since with the H-man battle is heavily connoted with the war, struggle might be the better translation to convey the exact meaning.

A painting of a real person is still to a degree fiction. It's a facsimile of a real person. The subject is just as important as the skill when it comes to the actual worth of the piece. You can appreciate it for the technique and the skill being put on display while separating that from the artist itself.

Books on the other hand are a big harder to do in such a manner. You can appreciate a written work for its technical execution. But intrinsically a written work written as a non-fiction is going to be more linked to the actual invoked thought of the piece in the meaning of the piece than it is the actual technical execution of it.

So there's less to separate from the artist.

Or more bluntly put, if a fascist draws a picture, that picture doesn't inherently have to be fascist. But if a fascist writes a book about fascism from their own perspective and opinion that book's fascist.

I draw the distinction between art and craft. One can be a craftsman, very skilled in the techniques of a process, without being an artist, a creator of expressive works. A woodworking craftsman can make perfectly dimensioned copies of a table, using great skill, and they might be beautiful, but unless they design the table they haven't necessarily done anything artistic. In writing non-fiction, one can have great craft (making eloquent, precise, and concise word choices, making phrases that are memorable or entertaining without compromising verity, etc.) but being creative is the departure point from non-fiction. If you create facts and put them into your non-fiction, you, at best, are mistaken, but are likely simply falsifying evidence or lying.

Yeah but the point of the saying “separate the art of the artist” is that it’s difficult to reconcile a piece of media you would otherwise like with the fact the artist is a POS.

Basically everyone agrees Mein Kampf sucks, even Nazis only like it performatively. So there’s no reconciliation necessary if you don’t like the media anyway. OP’s comic feels like a miss, the obvious strawman doesn’t even says he likes it just that it’s alright so it barely even fits the saying anyway.
