on Nihilism

If being a nihilist is carrying, to the unbearable limit of hegemonic systems, this radical trait of derision and of violence, this challenge that the system is summoned to answer through its own death, then I am a terrorist and a nihilist in theory as the others are in weapons. Theoretical violence, not truth, is the only resource we have left us. But such a sentiment is utopian. Because it would be beautiful to be a nihilist, if there still were a radicality, and it would be nice to be a terrorist, if death, including that of the terrorist, still had meaning. …to this active nihilism of radicality, the system opposes its own, the nihilism of neutralization. The system itself is also nihilistic, in the sense that it has the power to pour everything, including what denies it, into indifference.
