Wow, wait, that Blair interview was conducted by Johann Hari? Small world.
Anyway, interesting how not knowing what the context of your piece was makes some of my answers seem a little irrelevant. Suppose it shows how slippery these kinds of ideological terms are, how much is folded into their meaning and connotations.
Alas I hadn’t written any of the post when I asked you the questions and my deadline prevented a more collaborative approach. Your answers were very instructive and grounded my thinking. Thank you!
Slightly off topic, but apropos... reading an analysis of Trump trial this morning, a commentator suggested that democracy is too difficult to comprehend for most people. People want a simple solution to the problem of having to live with too many people not like you. Like majority of blacks knew OJ was guilty but supported him nonetheless, so it is with Trump. He is the simple solution to the problem that the harm principle (not the commentator's words) has wrought upon us. Trump may be guilty but only he can save us from the liberals and their lifestyles. (Opinions expressed here not mine. I'm just the messenger).
It is exacerbated by a lack of local control. If decisions about your life are decided by bureaucrats hundreds of miles away it is impossible not to be alienated. Globalisation is depoliticisation.

super good read and I learned a lot!
Thank you, Wesley. Me too!
This made me realize, I really should diving into Tilmanns work sometime. Thank you!
You’re welcome. The later abstract experiments in the darkroom are also technically interesting I hear.
That’s what caught my interest as I have been experimenting too!
