I really try not to be like, "I'm an activist."

Power belongs to the intelligence of evil. It's totally unreflective, like Donald Trump. It belongs there.

I'm not going to let Defense Distributed go into a pro-social NGO territory. "We should really have more women on the board." That's navel-gazing and destructive ultimately. You have to have a kind of white-hot core identity. So far, I'm in touch with it.

History should be about every generation's will to power.

I'm a Nietzschean about human nature. The bulk of humanity is exhausted and superfluous, miscreant, confused, latently criminal, opportunistic. I rely on that. That's leverage, man.

I love the example of Jefferson because he's willing to murder his government and then he becomes a president and then his face is in a mountain. Just because he exercised his power.

The sad thing about Trump is that everybody is secretly really relieved he got elected, of the people I know - the professional left and academic left.
