These are my thoughts and concerns about the book:

1. I distinguish between activism and scholarship … in the book, normative assumptions and didactic exaggeration outweigh verifiable evidence

2. The structural argument is presented in such a way that individual disagreement is quickly interpreted as defensiveness. this makes the position difficult to discuss

3. I see a risk in collectively assigning moral responsibility to people regardless of their concrete individual actions

Can not understand why this book is so overhyped - but maybe it’s just me

Yeah, I share some of your concerns.

Out of curiosity, are there books you do find convincing on this topic from a more scholarly angle?
