From The Culture OF Make Believe - Derrick Jensen - 2002 - Context Books (pages 38-39)
"Nobody talks about this," he continued, "but they're branches from the same tree, different forms of the same cultural imperative...."
"Which is?"
"To rob the world of its subjectivity."
"Wait..." I said.
"Or to put it another way," he continued, "to turn everyone and everything into objects."
Again he paused, before he said, "The methodology used by each is different. Corporations are carriers of ruin, turning everything they touch to money. They are culturally sanctified, supported, and protected in their role of turning the living - forests, oceans, mountains, rivers, human lives - into the dead: money. And because they are culturally sanctified they get to act aboveground." ------------- BTW this is a very Heideggerian passage. :)
