“Domination is a relationship, not a condition; it depends on the participation of both parties. Hierarchical power is not just the gun in the policeman's hand; it is just as much the obedience of the ones who act as if it is always pointed at them.

Sometimes all it takes to be complicit in the oppression of millions is to die of natural causes.”
