Mr Robot S3 E1
finished Mr Robot S 3 E 1. This...
They packaged a fight into product, turned our dissent into intellectual property, televising our revolution with commercial breaks. They backdoored into our minds and robbed our truth, refurbished the facts, then marked up the price. This is what they do. It’s what they’re good at. This is their greatest trick – to try and bring the truth. They’re trying to take that away. Now they’re moving to the next step. Yeah, next step. You know what the next step is? Lobotomizing us into their virtual reality horror show. Why? So they can take away your power and I’m not talking about your electricity. And this all started because I tried to hide from society. Remember? Fuck society. Yeah, well, I fucked society alright. I reset it to zero, and if I don’t do anything about it, it will continue to grow in this malignant way. And that’s what I’m afraid of the most: this dark future that I set into motion. Who knows what could come from this? What if, instead of fighting back, we caved, gave up our privacy for security, exchanged dignity for safety, and traded revolution for repression? What if we choose weakness over strength? These are not the people who made our country great. These are the people that are destroying our country. They’ll even have us build our own prison. This is what they wanted all along, for us to buy in on our worst selves. And I just made it easier for them. I didn’t start a revolution. I just made us docile enough for their slaughtering.
