JODIE FOSTER as Clarice M. Starling in The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

All USAmerican citizens benefit from imperialism and if you think your minority is exempt you’re a chauvinist. Every USAmeicans no matter how marginalized and systemically impoverished they are still benefit from an economy that build off the suffering of the imperial periphery. The basic infrastructure is build off the exploitation of the imperial periphery, every commodity sold is based of the exploitation of the imperial periphery. It is so fundamentally baked into American society that simply by existing in this land you are given major benefits that most of the world is simply not afforded. There is a reason so many refugees across the world seek refuge in America, it’s not because of grand ideas like freedom or equality or any other nonsense pushed by American mythos, it’s because simply existing here gives incredible material benefit. If you do not understand this you are a chauvinist.

From Carmela García's 1998 photo series "Chicas, deseos y ficción"

Easy. They just let us forget. Give us too much to process, fill up every minute, keep us distracted, it's what the Tube is for, and though it kills me to say it, it's what rock and roll is becoming - just another way to claim our attention, so that beautiful certainty we had starts to fade, and after a while they have us convinced all over again that we really are going to die. And they've got us again.

Thomas Pynchon, Vineland
