...you would think this is how it would go down...

to me thats mr robot. a parodic mishmash of a genre that begins sometime in the 90s and is a self-obsessed-yet-self-aware, vaguely anti-capitalist, vaguely anti-american genre of work that derides modern society while also being pessimistic about a genuine alternative. american psycho, fight club, oz, sopranos, the wire, better call saul, mr robot...

and ironically all of these series end just before their critiques hit mainstream consciousness in the real world. oz ends just before the war on terror and subsequent american military posts/torture centres/prisons televised how carceral control and moralizing is central to justifying empire. sopranos ended just before the 2008 collapse, which was made inevitable by greed and white collar crime and the collusion between the law and capital. mr robot ended just before the epstein files started to drop, revealing there is indeed a selection of affluent billionaires and politicians operating with impunity through the banal daily control over shipping and receiving, online algorithms, IP laws, manufactured instability after geopolitical conflict....

Not every mental health professional is perfect, and it might take a bit of time until you find one who really clicks with you, but having that kind of objective, unconditional support makes a huge difference - especially for those with severe, deeply buried trauma like Elliot (And me).

TOO MUCH TECHNOLOGY."

in mr. robot, mobley's real name is revealed to be sunil markesh in season 2.

looking it up, sunil as a name means something like deep blue.

look familiar?

the blue screen of death is/was a deep blue! interesting, considering the show has used blue tones for character deaths, mainly tyrell wellick. and of course the show about anarchist hackers would use computer metaphors. it has. i mean, the entire kernel panic episode is right there.

additionally, as this reddit post points out, markesh means something like a period of rough times, aligning with his less brave personality.

Happy 5/9 to all two and a half people in this fandom
