Andy writes and Achilles responds in later note:
there is always some possibility for people within a culture to see
what
things are like in the outside world, no matter how much a
government tries
to isolate people, and that there will always be some people in a
culture
who can base themselves on what they see outside to criticize their
"own"
culture. This possibility creates a valid ground for social criticism.
This explicit grounding, while vulnerable to accusations of treason
strikes
me as one way to ground critique. It is part of wider
dialogue/collusion/collaboration to identify at least cultural
contingent critiques.
