@ReaderJohn Thanks for sharing this. Funny: I think Burton’s invoked inner devil’s advocate invokes my inner devil’s advocate. I’ve followed so little of Kingsnorth I don’t feel like I have a need to defend him, but the critiques I’ve read so far just don’t work for me. At some point I’ll have to do more work explaining why :)
