Quote by Jean Baudrillard

To love someone is to isolate him from the world, wipe out every trace of him, dispossess him of his shadow, drag him into a murderous future. It is to circle around the other like a dead star and absorb him into a black light.

Summary

This quote suggests a dark and possessive aspect of love, emphasizing the idea that true love involves an intense level of obsession and control. The notion of isolating someone from the world and erasing their individuality expresses the idea of immersing oneself completely in the other person's life. However, the reference to a "murderous future" and absorbing them into a black light hints at the potential destructive nature of such an all-consuming love.

Where mass opinion dominates the government, there is a morbid derangement of the true functions of power. The derangement brings about the enfeeblement, verging on paralysis, of the capacity to govern. This breakdown in the constitutional order is the cause of the precipitate and catastrophic decline of Western society. It may, if it cannot be arrested and reversed, bring about the fall of the West.
