I know I have found myself reading less because I spend so much time trying to stay aware of the fuckery, so that when I have time and a logical break to read my books I am too mentally exhausted or disinterested in reading further. I do know that I can and should temper the flow of information, but it's hard to look away from the fire despite the need to pause the doom for the mind. Balance, diversity and whatnot, right?
Yea I’m reading a book on historical Israel / Palestine relations and it’s so hard to motivate myself to read it because it’s just more madness.
I've had a similar reaction to Hitlers People. It's good, it's informative, it's just so bleak the reminder that so many people went along with it.
Which book? Do you recommend it?
Righteous Victims
I would strongly recommend it.
It’s written by Benny Morris, a Zionist who laughs about starving children, but if you acknowledge that bias the book is a tremendous resource. It’s well cited and Benny does not shy away from describing in detail the atrocities his nation has always committed.
