A really fascinating interview - utterly essential provocations. I'm always astounded by the capacity for discussions on topics such as this to draw out the most tediously reactionary opinions - in this case it was Stephen Cowley's role to play (see above). There was a violence to all of the posed questions, but question 3 in particular is acutely violent in what it attempts to conceal through a discourse of egalitarianism. To rephrase it accurately. "3. Why didn't you defend people whose ideology, fully realised, would have you put to death?" I'm baffled to why anyone would consider this a question even worth asking, especially with such an ill-concealed pretence for mutual respect.
