A friend sent this to me as an example of "SUV Psychosis":
In Their Hummers, Right Beside Uncle Sam
"Rick Schmidt, founder of I.H.O.G., the International Hummer Owners Group, said: "In my humble opinion, the H2 is an American icon. Not the military version by any means, but it's a symbol of what we all hold so dearly above all else, the fact we have the freedom of choice, the freedom of happiness, the freedom of adventure and discovery, and the ultimate freedom of expression."
""Those who deface a Hummer in words or deed," he added, "deface the American flag and what it stands for.""

Bin Laden, Dostoevsky and the reality principle: an interview with André Glücksmann André Glucksmann - openDemocracy
"Socrates asked: what do a beautiful woman, a beautiful vase and a beautiful bed have in common? His answer: the idea of beauty. My question is: what do extremist ideologies like the communism or Nazism of yesteryear and the Islamism of today have in common? After all, they support ostensibly very different ideals – the superior race, mankind united in socialism, the community of Muslim believers (the Umma). Tomorrow, it could be altogether different ideals: some theological, some scientific, others racist. But the common characteristic is nihilism."
