“You can’t write novels without a touch of paranoia. I’m paranoid as an act of good citizenship, concerned about what the powerful people are up to.”
― Kurt Vonnegut

“Their extreme wealth and privilege served only to make them obsessed with insulating themselves from the very real and present danger of climate change, rising sea levels, mass migration, global pandemics, nativist panic, and resource depletion. For them, the future of technology is about only one thing: escape from the rest of us.”

“Veblen called it the price-system. Mills called it the Power Elite. It's probably no more than ninety-nine people who don't know what they are doing. They're involved in high finance. Fascinating form of gambling.”
― John Cage, M: Writings '67â€�'72

“Turn thy crown upside down! You need to feel how it is to kneel as those less fortunate than your noble deal.”

“They only let us live in millions for the sake of the economy. I don't know what will happen by the time they figure out how to run the economy without the people”

“The perpetual growth model is simply not built for an era of rapid planetary change. In a world where the richest 85 people in the world own as much wealth as the bottom 3.5 billion, and the wealthiest 10% produce 49% of all emissions, it’s not individual choices that are driving climate change.

― Eric Holthaus, The Future Earth: A Radical Vision for What's Possible in the Age of Warming

“Fascist propaganda demonizes minorities, to brainwash the working class.”
― Oliver Markus Malloy, American Fascism: A German Writer's Urgent Warning To America

“If you dangle in front of parents the kind of 1 percent life outcome that goes with being a star, some of them will grab for it, even if objectively it’s not a very good plan for their child’s long-term wellbeing. Once a parent hears that their kid might have potential - as a painter, a dancer, a tennis player, a musician, whatever - all the stories of struggling artists and washed up athletes fade to the background.”
― Malcolm Harris, Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials
