« The manufacturing and distribution (historically communist) `of newspapers` remain weak and disorganized, at insane cost. The sector is paralyzed by the unique and all-powerful CGT Book Syndicate with a monopoly on hiring and providing workers with higher wages than journalists (around 5,000 euros per month). These salaries alone account for 80% of the printing cost of newspapers `...` (Lordiant Report, July 7, 2004). Consequences: record number sales prices, twice as high as in Germany. (Ch. IV JOURNALITRISM p. 145) »

« You want to feel that things change according to your desires. You want to be promised "reforms," no matter which ones, you just have to move forward. Big Brother is just a huge promise of continuous change, and therefore of infinite activism. "Change is now!" is a perfect slogan. NOW is an eternal and radiant future, always at hand. François Hollande's slogan promises perpetual change. All his constituents want is PROGRES, a continuous shift towards full domestication. (Ch. II THE WORLD PERDU p. 84) »

« It is the critical mind that we are accusing. You know them, our "arguments." "Unacceptable, despicable, slippage, scandalous, unacceptable." Our virtuous indignation is enough to deny unpleasant realities, destroy the skeptics and spare us any justification. (Ch. II THE WORLD PERDU p. 77) »
