The public heretic
The public heretic

Shot wide-open, contre-jour (with two LED lamps plus reflector). In the public discourse of the West, there is a resurgence of medieval brutality. Some interest groups believing in the righteousness of their cause show a worrying tendency to publicly shame those with a different point of view. These are not just considered as thinking differently, they are publicly "exposed" as traitors. As in any ferocious kind of religiosity, "heretics" need to be persecuted, tortured by the thought police and then quartered and burned - if not physically, then at least in the social media. As I said, these are worrying times. The re-introduction of the Inquisition can be in nobody's interest.
