Sharing is caring

Even though he again misrepresented the point I made in a previous post and he also attributed me things I never said, I'm still going to share this post by Baldur Bjarnason, because he touches on many important topics worth thinking and talking about, especially at this specific moment in time, considering all the shit that's happening in the world.

I'm not gonna attempt to correct him, because I don't think it matters at this point. He's free to think I'm a nazi apologist, or sympathizer, or whatever else he thinks I am (and since I'm Italian, you should also assume I'm a Fascist while you're there). I’m not gonna lose sleep over that, but I will point out something that is important to me:

Not assuming ≠ tolerating. Not assuming ≠ excusing. Not assuming ≠ allowing something.

And one more note:

Because you absolutely should judge people based on the books they like. That’s what talking about books is for.

Why they like a book is as important, if not more important, than what book they like. That was the whole point of my post. And by knowing what book one likes you don’t also know why they like it, unless you engage in a conversation. As you said, that’s why we talk about books and why we talk about things in general. Because if we don’t talk, then we just assume.
