  1. That's not going to matter in any realistic sense. The government won't openly disclose the fact that they track what books people buy for political purposes as even braindead people will see it as government overreach. And if they don't disclose it, it's not like a prospective employer can somehow find out that you've been reading it.

  2. You can easily brush it off as reading it due to an interest in history and politics,and not because you agree with any of it's contents

that's pretty much my point. the government does plenty of shady shit behind closed doors to spy on us that wouldn't hold up in a court of law, but fuck you in other ways i.e. applying for a top security clearance.

For the vast majority of people, that's not going to matter. Most people will never be going for a government job w/ high security clearance.
