Against the double blackmail - Slavoj Žižek
Madder than a Red Bull and Vodka fuelled Hen Party, the sloth of Slovenia gets rough and ready with Humanitarian Interventionism. The safe word is "McGuffin".
The prize-winner in the contest for the greatest blunder of 1998 was a Latin American patriotic terrorist who sent a letter-bomb to a us consulate in order to protest against the Americans interfering in local politics.

The Neoliberal Wars - Treason pamphlet

Someone has just sent me a copy of the printed version, and I now understand why friends in England who wrote me were so outraged.
