“Institutionalized rejection of difference is an absolute necessity
in a profit economy which needs outsiders as surplus people. As
members of such an economy, we have all been programmed to respond
to the human difference between us with fear and loathing and to
handle that difference in one of three ways: ignore it, and if that
is not possible, copy it if we think it is dominant, or destroy it
