I listened to this knowing I'd likely agree with the thesis. But, I learned some cool bits of history I didn't yet know about. It focuses almost solely on racial Justice movements and has some iffy comments about nonviolence, but overall was a decent overview of why civility reinforces oppressive structures much of the time.

thought it would be more academic, already agree w the sentiment. seems to be 4 a liberal audience that needs convincing

The basic premise of this book is faulty. The reason that you're polite to someone, or a group of people that you are trying to win over on something, is to be polite to them. Someone is much more likely to come over to your side of thinking when addressed with respect.

I loved the message (as the title describes) and some of the history was compelling, but this was so meandering & loose that I hesitate to recommend it. Read the books the author references instead.
