“Yet, I’d say that when one can no longer evaluate ideas with objectivity, or when a movement one belongs to restricts wider political engagement via censorship and self-censorship—and these might be so insidious as to be almost invisible (for example, we don’t read those papers, we don’t talk to those people even when there is common political cause)—then yes, I think there is a form of radicalisation going on. I get that this kind of mindset is a tool of war, but it also apprehends empathy, and while the former may be important to the project of war, it is dangerous to the act of being human.”
