Patriarchy is a bargain in which men gain structural power over non-men and the fact that the biggest obstacle to making this clear and doing something about it is the insecurity of men when this is made explicit tells you a lot about how that system operates and what they get out of it as a class.

Americans love to wring their hands over how killing thousands of innocent people might create consequences for America rather than the abject evil of killing thousands of innocent people

We must watch for a breach in the living wall that hemmed us in; the wall that had only admitted us in order to shut us up.

people are asking 'how could the man who wrote the boy in the striped pyjamas be a nazi', but I'm gonna be honest, a morality fable where the protagonist is punished and killed for having empathy towards the target of an extermination campaign and deciding to help him is totally nazi shit.

a book about the holocaust which focuses on the tragedy of the nazi overseer of a concentration camp accidentally killing his own son, and not the horror of millions of people being systematically exterminated, is suspicious in precisely whose viewpoint- and whose pain- is centered in the narrative.
