I don't trust Zoyd. He's not honest. He's a Pynchon schlemiel and he
rationalizes. His memory is not all that good. 
He lacks self-awareness. He's self-righteous, self-absorbed, indignant,
and dishonest. 

I don't trust Hector either. He' not honest. He's corrupt. And he works
for fascists. 

They have a deal. We don't know that much about it yet, but we know that
they have one.

The victim and the oppressor define each other.

"The long daisy chain of victims and victimizers" or the
  unity of "destroyer and destroyed" (V.).
