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

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.

It's sad that as crushed Millennials we live in the shadow of our parents, our fathers. We aren't willing to murder our government. It's like, come on, why is this scary? Jesus, every generation before you was willing to kick ass.

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

I don't believe that it's inconsistent to be suspicious of people and also be totally comfortable with deploying the technology, because you know its fractal potential. It's a vote for politics. It's a vote for the will to politics. There will be people, a one percent of people, that can use this stuff effectively, develop it, implement it. That's why it's necessary. That's why civilization exists, so those few people can exercise incredible techniques.

When people access the use of force for the threat of violence they have, by definition, a new political power. An unwanted political power.
