(Somewhat off-topic, but Mr. Robot as an ''activist'' show is heavily steeped in irony. Not only is the show a huge cash cow for a massive corporation, but much of the second season is focused around the main characters realizing this whole cyber-socialist revolution thing isn't what it was cracked up to be. There's also insanity, violence, and heavy drug use, and things become more abstract and more insane as the show progresses. It's very dark and somewhat disturbing. Good television, but not sure that's a message Mozilla really wants to align with?)
- mplewis 9y agoYes, in a capitalist system, money comes from somewhere, and there's no ethical consumption. It's possible for that to happen and Mr. Robot to still carry strong anti-capitalist, anti-1%, pro-digital freedom messaging.
- moises_silva 9y agoYes, agreed, and hence, ironic.

I must admit that I haven't watched the third season yet, but the aftermath of the "revolution" shown in the second is a perfect rebuttal to the idiotic anti-capitalist ideals of the main heroes. When I started watching, I was afraid that it would turn into a typical "occupy something" propaganda, but it turned out much more intelligent and thoroughly implemented jab at it's own characters.
