Neoliberal multiculturalism also LOVES both committing something and crying about it as well, so it welcomes the products of genocide as long as they perform minority status satisfactorily

Obama was last in office in 2016 and Donald Trump is president but as ever the omnicause remains laser-focused.

I've never heard a leftist complain Obama wasn't tough enough on Russia despite the fact Russia snatched territory under his watch. What's up with that huh? No books written by Ukrainians in there?

It's hard to work in both their latent misogyny and latent racism into literally every post. That's why they're secretly disappointed that Harris lost.

It's telling that he doesn't just... try to promote a book by a Palestinian author, or even mention one. You see, a Democrat has failed to do something that... he himself could be doing—the greatest crime.

I guess the steelman version of this argument is Obama's list is largely middlebrow and as such avoids confrontation which is a true enough point phrased badly. He doesn't have analytic philosophy on there either.

also he's never included a book by a Brazilian, a population 40 times the size of Palestine and which has a vibrant publishing culture, etc. it's a ridiculous approach in the first place.

If you’re gonna do parody grad school seminar, beauty for him is that you can append this to anything and never have to prepare a new bit. New Coke indicates the inability of neoliberal multiculturalism to grapple with the exceptions of settler colonialism and genocide.

I don't read books because I feel guilty about stuff. That's not my fucking job. Show up with a good book and I'll give it a whirl, and until then, suck it.

Barack Obama owes you book-based penance? Get a grip. You couldn't even be bothered to read his reading lists, do you think that he owes you the recommendation of a specific author from a specific background? Loony booger.
