“America is neither dream nor reality. It is hyperreality. It is hyperreality because it is a utopia which has behaved from the very beginning as though it were already achieved…[Americans] are themselves simulation in its most developed state.”

“Let us be Stoics: if the world is fatal, let us be more fatal. If it is indifferent, let us be more indifferent. We must conquer the world and seduce it through an indifference that is at least equal to the world’s.”

“Never attack the system in terms of relations of force. That is the (revolutionary) imagination the system itself forces upon you – the system which survives only by constantly drawing those attacking it into fighting on the ground of reality, which is always its own. But shift the struggle into the symbolic sphere, where the rule is that of challenge, reversion, and outbidding. So that death can be met only by equal or greater death. Defy the system by a gift to which it cannot respond except by its own death and its own collapse.”
— Jean Baudrillard, The Spirit of Terrorism (2002)
