Book Bites: One Day Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against this is required reading. At what cost do we purchase our normalcy, purchase our comfort within the status quo, when that normalcy also includes genocide? Omar El Akkad, through reporting, through lived experience, presents a powerful treatise on what it is to resist the systems that would eat our souls. Whatever sand is in your hand, throw it in the cogs of the machine. It's not a walking away from capitalism, from society, but a walking toward something better. Like the Transatlantic Slave Trade, like the theft of Native Lands, and now like the Genocide of Palestinian people and the uncaring capitalist systems that support it, one day, everyone will have always been against this.
