“Abbiamo una rivoluzione alle spalle. E nella scia della rivoluzione vittoriosa sta marciando a ranghi serrati - è sempre stato così - la moneta cattiva. Cominciano col sangue, le rivoluzioni, e finiscono con un diluvio universale di carta. Lo Stato è strangolato da un deficit gigantesco, stanno per arrivare gli assegnati. Io non so se porteranno l’immagine della dea Libertà, di sicuro c’è soltanto che stanno arrivando. Il diluvio di moneta nuova manderà in briciole i vecchi patrimoni, distruggerà i diritti di proprietà: tutto quello che oggi invidiamo ai possidenti diventerà res nullius e apparterrà a chi sarà svelto ad arraffarlo. La guerra è finita solo in apparenza, da noi comincia adesso. Sarà una guerra spietata, una guerra di tutti contro tutti, e io, per quanto mi riguarda, ho intenzione di vincerla”

“Dear Sirs," Flick began before loudly inhaling, "On account of there being no heat down here in account of the being nö electricity on account of the brand-new energy rations so thoughtfully and nobly and honorably imposed on the steerage decks by Sovereign Nicolaeus on account of the blackouts - Aster fell prey to a brief fit of hypothermia-induced delirium de spoke against you in her maddery. She's healed up now so you don't have to worry about it happening again.”

“[...] white people are, ipso facto, deputized in the face of Black people, whether they know it (consciously) or not. Whiteness, then, and by extension civil society, cannot be solely “represented” as some monumentalized coherence of phallic signifiers, but must first be understood as a social formation of contemporaries who do not magnetize bullets. This is the essence of their construction through an asignifying absence; their signifying presence is manifested by the fact that they are, if only by default, deputized against those who do magnetize bullets. In short, white people are not simply “protected” by the police, they are—in their very corporeality—the police.”
