Quote by Jean Baudrillard
Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society.
Summary
This quote suggests that despite its advancements in technology and its perceived sophistication, the United States still fundamentally operates on a primitive level. It implies that American society may be superficial in its expression of progress, masking a deeper lack of genuine evolution. The mention of "bluff good conscience" implies a critical view of American values and beliefs, insinuating that they may be insincere or hypocritical. The notion of the US as the "only remaining primitive society" suggests that other societies have progressed beyond this primitive state, leaving America behind in some respects.
