EDITOR—Garland discusses the place of nonconformist thinking—including “conspiracy theorists”— has in a healthy society, especially as it relates to the questioning of narratives and concepts bolstering a particular social arrangement or ruling class, and the reasons why the term has become a way for the establishment to denigrate and contain such individuals, thereby preserving the status quo and normalcy.

EDITOR—Here’s Roger Waters’ impassioned denunciation of rapidly creeping fascism in Britain, where free speech is being criminalised to suppress, among other things, criticism of Israel’s depraved extermination of Palestinians.
