I thought that was a little odd too, his saccharine descriptions of the security staff and the mall were a little off putting and I couldn't tell if they were genuine or just trying to shape a narrative.
- samhw 5y agoI'm pretty sure it's sarcastic, at least in places: > It is important to me that you know that I have a great deal of respect for the work you do and I am very sorry that I wasted some of your valuable time today. This project is in no way a critique on security or what defines safety in contemporary society. Though I think there's also an undercurrent of fellow-feeling for the actual in-the-flesh human beings who do that job, who don't exactly bear the blame for 'what defines safety in contemporary society' or anything like that. (In that, you know, the policeman is playing a part precisely as much as the prisoner is.) I get the sense he may be a bit mentally unsure of the line he's drawing between respecting the workers and disrespecting their work.
