Sep 2017
A slow suicide called life and state sanctioned.
It is the condition of the carceral society.
Paranoia has become a proper state of mind.
And there's a despot around the corner.

Omnipresent surveillance.  Society of control.
The cattle are guided by passageways like electrons in a closed circuit to the killing floor.

Exchange market value of currency against convenience.
The stock that won't drop.
However, liberty and security are not interchangeable in a war machine that never stops.
The first line is borrowed from Nietzcshe's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". The second line is inspired by Jean Beadrillard ("Simulacra and Simulation"). "Societies of Control" is a concept of Gilles Deleuze.
