“One wonders what is says about a society that a pornographer has a clearer grasp of political reality than either Joe Average Citizen or Johnny Pundit. But then again, nothing gives one a clearer and more realistic view of a society than being one of those that society has chosen to marginalize and - almost inevitably - punish. And nothing gives one a cloudier, more fantastical view than the desperate need to convince yourself that your society, i.e. you, are the pinnacle of the history of civilization.”
