Also if you’re unwilling to be confrontational with powerful people you just should not be a journalist. You aren’t cut out for it.

Weirdly LOTR is an anti-communist treatise (at least in 3rd book) and is very pro hierarchical class-system throughout. A fantasy Ayn Rand, even (at a medium stretch).

I have never forgotten Richard Feidler’s Conversation w famous crime reporter. He said every pro hitman he has interviewed in prison started by being raped by priests in Catholic institutions. They said nothing could hurt them after that.
Same for Indigenous/refugee kids. Systemic racism runs deep.

Ditto his move from “No, Brexit can’t be stopped” in 2017 to “with an option to Remain”. But increasingly I think the more low-effort take of “he just blows with the wind” is a better explanation.
