Unsolicited Book Recs

The way this man said "anything for you"

@USA what the actual fuck?

"Personally, I simply define myself as a feminist. I don't think there is any reason to be scared by such name-calling. To fight against prostitution and surrogacy is to fight for free sexuality and women's reproductive autonomy or, to put it differently, the idea that we should be able to have sex and have children when we want to, when we desire it and feel ready for it-not because somebody pays us, forces us, manipulates us, or makes us feel guilty if we don't."

The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together, for it implied as had been said at Nuremberg over and over again by the defendants and their counsels - that this new type of criminal, who is in actual fact hostis generis humani, commits his crimes under circumstances that make it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he is doing wrong.

"Millions die" was ultimately a policy choice.

Still... where would we be if we were all the same?

As a writer with a revolutionary commitment, I am particularly pained by the kinds of books writers are writing and the reasons why. I want writers to write books because they are committed to the content of those books. I want writers to write books as actions. I want writers to write books that can make a difference in how, and even why, people live. I want writers to write books that are worth being jailed for, worth fighting for, and should it come to that in this country, worth dying for.
