its meant as an ideological and personal excercise in seeing how you support unjust institutions you oppose.

The changes in narrator make it so I can hear one fine and the next not so well. I couldn’t finish listening to this book because the narrator had the microphone too close and bass was booming into my headphones. I tried turning it down but then I couldn’t hear it enough. Disappointed.
