Discussion
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?
