    Nobody is more precise than the ruling class in their calibrating how much exploitation they can exact from their beasts of burden (us). That’s their job, that’s where their money comes from. They exploit us.

    It’s not gumption. It’s not novelty. It’s not intelligence. It’s cruelty.

      Our entire planet has been organized around a cold, calculating science of cruelty. Honest to God, if we lived in a better society and you wrote a book about how we do things, it’ll never become popular. Too unbelievable that anyone would tolerate the way we do things.
