Saturday night knee-jerk reaction on Stengers, witches, etc.

Isabelle Stengers states the following:

I will be publishing a book that is something of a sequel and a reworking of La sorcellerie capitaliste, but which sets up the question differently.La sorcellerie tried to deal with the question of our vulnerability to capitalism starting from the 

idea that what’s at issue is the hold over us a type of sorcery has, and the fact that because we take pride in no longer “believing in sorcery” we have failed to produce the necessary protections.



our vulnerability... 
we take pride in no longer “believing in sorcery”...

who the hell is that "we" she's talking about? 

I don't know about "you", whoever you are, but methinks "we" are being labelled, described and defined in spite of what we might be aware of being on an individual level, regardless of the various filters and lenses used to peep on us.
