Variante: "Credere che si debba essere felici per il solo fatto di vivere, pur conducendo un'esistenza orrenda, è un modo di pensare da schiavi; pensare che sia piacevole avere una vita ordinaria e confortevole, è il modo di provare emozioni degli animali; gli uomini, però, diventano ciechi pur di non vedere che non vivono e non pensano da esseri umani. La gente si agita davanti a un muro buio e sogna di comprare lavatrici elettriche e televisori, aspetta con ansia il domani anche se esso non porterà a niente. Ed è lì che compaio io, e per il solo fatto che mostro la realtà nella sua crudezza, si scatena un gran trambusto, tutti si terrorizzano, si ammazzano o compiono un doppio suicidio. Io mostro la forma esatta del tempo, come le vendite rateali o le assicurazioni, soltanto che di sicuro sono più gentile; e poi metto in evidenza il tempo che rotola, quello obliquo, quello accelerato, vale a dire il tempo reale; invece gli addetti alle vendite rateali mostrano il tempo del finto perbenismo, quello piatto, quello edulcorato."

There's a reason for this, there's a reason education sucks, and it's the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It's never going to get any better. Don't look for it. Be happy with what you've got... because the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now... the real owners. The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. You know what they want? Obedient workers people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork but just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And, now, they're coming for your Social Security. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all, sooner or later, because they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people – white collar, blue collar, it doesn't matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue – these are people of modest means – Continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don't give a fuck about you. They don't give a fuck about you. They don't care about you at all. At all. At all. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That's what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that's being jammed up their assholes every day, because the owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream, 'cause you have to be asleep to believe it.
