An awareness test for social justice bloggers. Before making a post:
1. Replace "straight" / "white" / "male" / "cishet", and the like with equivalent words for minorities targeted by the Nazis (Jews, Gypsies, blacks...).
2. Replace words such as "women", "trans", "lesbian", etc with Nazi-friendly terms (Aryans, Germans, master race...).
3. If the result sounds like Nazi propaganda or something that could be right out of Hitler's Mein Kampf, it it passes the Mein Kampf test.
Example:
Original: 'I don't understand how people get so offended when a women says she hates all men. Hating men isn't "sexism" it's common sense.'
Mein Kampf test: 'I don't understand how people get so offended when an Aryan says she hates all jews. Hating jews isn't "racism" it's common sense.'

If you find yourself passing the Mein Kampf test, you should probably reconsider your social justice blogging habits.
