How Non-Violence Protects The State by Peter Gelderloos
Did not finish book. Stopped at 59%.

I really tried. But this book is just so clearly written by a white man. It’s incredibly condescending and doesn’t really discuss anything just bludgeons you to death with his opinion. I rarely stop books half way through because I like to be challenged by new ideas. This felt like being talked at by my shitty uncle.
