intolerable-could-testimonies-primo-levi-intellectually-emotionally-martin

It is the conditions that produce violence that should upset us ethically and prompt us to act responsibly, rather than to capitulate to a privatized emotional response that substitutes a therapeutic language for a political and worldly one.
