"Over the past few years, King Leo has positioned himself to be seen as the social conscience of the celebrity elite. But, it is only because of this fact that the message is acceptable.

350 A Culture of Imbeciles Amusing Ourselves to Death Avaaz Controlling Consciousness Internet Purpose The Society of the Spectacle
"The ongoing social disintegration of industrial civilization that produces pseudo-citizens signing online petitions created by ruling class entities like Avaaz, Purpose and 350, is indicative of the unbridled power of seamless spectacle, begun in the era of television, and culminated in the reign of the Internet."

"We may struggle to see past the illusions from our current vantage point. No doubt, we will find ourselves in the trenches of class war, only to look outside and realize that the entire spectacle has been constructed by a charlatan. This will continue to happen, so long as neoliberal capitalism provides career opportunities for charlatans, as it no doubt will."

"Global society has been, and continues to be, manipulated to believe that NGOs are representative of 'civil society' which has allowed the 'humanitarian industrial complex' to become missionaries of empire.

"At every opportunity Baker reiterated the radical idea that educated elites were not the natural leaders of Black people. Critically reflecting on her work with the NAACP, she observed, "The Leadership was all from the professional class, basically.
