Sjoerd Levelt<p>saw this book in the library and quite regardless of the value (or lack thereof) of the historical research in it, it made me wonder what mindset one must have to dedicate themselves to writing a book *series* to argue that "the genocide perpetrated by my ancestors in the stolen and unceded country I now live in was less violent than other genocides" (and also what drives a librarian to reserve precious shelf space for such an endeavour). <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Straya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Straya</span></a></p>

While we knew there was a chance to see them, 2 hours of careful scanning only yielded one sighting.
