Make your enemies feel it, not through the blustery front used for political purposes – this is not a sign of strength – but through the cool and calculating strategies you employ to corner them.

—Robert Greene

It has reached a point where the idea of liberty, one that is relatively recent, is in the process of disappearing from our customs and consciences, and the globalization of liberal values is about to realize itself in its exact opposite form: a globalization of police forces, of total control, of a terror of security measures. This reversal moves towards a maximum of restrictions, resembling those of a fundamentalist society.

—Jean Baudrillard
