“Qatar 2022 proves once again that money can buy everything and everyone in football. A tournament that society doesn't seem to know what to do with, but which is only an outgrowth of our own hyper-capitalism. “

Today's environmentalism is an adjunct to hyper-capitalism: the catalytic converter on the silver SUV of the global economy. It is about saving civilization from itself.

The thing that really attracted me to using that as an album title was that it was a perfect example of how post-Communist Russia had so embraced this crazed form of hyper-capitalism —the kind that has no regard whatsoever for human-beings— to an extent that would horrify even the most right-wing North American Republican capitalist. The 'face control' policy isn't that different to the policies enacted at various 'exclusive' night-clubs in New York and LA, but, in that classic Russian fashion, they just brutally call it what it is: it's face control.
