life are fading away.
In which consuming and surviving,
producing “subversive texts” and dealing with the most toxic effects
of industrial civilization,
doing sports, making love, being a parent or taking Prozac
Everything is work.
Because Empire manages and digests, absorbs and reintegrates
all that lives.
Even “what I am”, the subjectivisation that I do not deny hic et nunc,
everything is productive.
Empire has put everything to work.
Ideally, my professional profile will coincide with my own face.
Even if it does not smile.
For in any case, the grimaces of the rebel sell nicely.
