Absolutely love this mindfuck weaponized split personality disorder hacking anarchist premise. The end of season plot twists that re-contextualize everything are so good.

    was just thinking about it the other day - it is very much a lib’s interpretation of radicalism/anarchism/revolution, in that it’s portrayed as being ultimately ineffective and driven by great men rather than a mass movement; and is focused on optics rather than actual praxis, e.g. hacking the banks and ‘deleting’ public debt rather than redistributing wealth, forcing the corporate exec to burn a big pile of money rather than put it to use etc.

      Not to mention elliot barely has like a organized group, he mostly carries out these massive feats almost by himself cause he is a haxxorman genius.

      Because Elliot’s Hacker persona is supposed to be a libs interpretation of an anarchist hacker. The final episodes literally reveal this.
