    Google citing Mark Fisher was not on my Postmodern-hell-world bingo card.

        On the "Principles for a New Utopia" page, the first line is:

        >"Someone once said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism."

        They cite Marxist philosopher Fredric Jameson (and misspell his name, incidentally), but I've always attributed this phrase to Fisher. I guess citing kpunk would have probably made the simulation we all live in actually implode.
