“Obama has been a classic Internet-start up, a movement spreading with viral intensity and propelled by some of Silicon Valley’s most creative minds. As with any online phenomenon, he has jumped national borders, stirring as much buzz in Berlin as he does back home.”

“Einmal, in Buenos Aires, habe ich eine Demonstration alter Menschen beobachtet. Sie trugen Mäntel aus gutem Stoff, die ihre besten Zeiten hinter sich hatten. Der Aufstand begann als Spaziergang durch die Fußgängerzone. Auf Höhe der ersten Bank holten sie blitzschnell Spraydosen, Hämmer und Trillerpfeifen aus Hand- und Manteltaschen. Mit einer Energie, die ich den älteren Herrschaften nicht zugetraut hätte, schlugen sie mit den Hämmern auf den die Schaufenster der Bank schützenden Metallzaun oder sprayten Verfluchungen gegen den Kapitalismus, dessen Repräsentanten sie anscheinend einst gewesen waren, an die Wände. Sie forderten ihre Spareinlagen zurück, die der Staat ihnen genommen hatte.”

“Palestinian boys give their girlfriends phones for the express purpose of being able to communicate with them in a semi-private manner without the physical proximity that would be frowned on. At the same time, girls know that parents do not approve of them having access to such private encounters with boys - they go to great lengths to hide their mobiles and suffer consequences when they are found out. While the boys offered these phones as a tool of freedom, they often came with a price.”

“Man trifft die Partycrowd in der Lohnarbeit wieder, aber nicht notwendig die Lohnarbeiter in der Partycrowd. Und auch hier gilt es den Gebrauchswert, den die Partycrowd in der kapitalistischen Reproduktion hat, nicht zu unterschätzen. Denn wenn sich die Partycrowd in der Lohnarbeit wiedertrifft, knallen die Korken und kulturelles Kapital ergießt sich in Strömen über alle Beteiligten. Tauchen hingegen die Lohnarbeiter mit ihren Softcore-Ressentiments in der Partycrowd auf, dann werden sie als Prolls und Macker beschimpft, die Anticommerzialista-Fahne wird gehisst und der gute alte Underground zurückromantisiert. Was also tun mit den Uncoolen und Überarbeiteten? Nicht befreien?”
