One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by Omar El Akkad

The major point of a non-fiction book is that it should be as neutral as possible, and not include a lot of points which are on tangent but don't really align with the argument.

This book puts so many important points but the argument against a system of inaction is a bit far fetched. There is some inaction from the heads of different countries but on a more grass root level the issue was not only flagged but fiercely pushed ahead for action. And this did result in some developments.

The interest of different head of states can't be really justified as a moral standing of people. The revolution comes from inside, and can rarely been influenced from outside. And implementing the personal experience in context of what is happening is a bit far fetched.

Of course xenophobia is a true but it is not driven by what is happening in a country. It is driven by what the leaders sell to their population which owns the view in majority or minority. Which does define a few nuances of the discourse but doesn't really impact the decision making.

Peace
