I’m relieved to see someone else saw the hypocritical and convoluted points brought up here.
For the most part this article seems like some big ad hominem attack on non-“progressive”, non-statist commenters online who all happen to have seen The Matrix and relate to one particular scene.
I think the heart of this “red pill movement” is the political side effects of technology and an article discussing the ideas brought up by the techno-anarchist scene would have been more informative.
I know man-bashing is hip and trendy these days, guaranteeing boingboing some nice click traffic, but really the one-sided joke is getting old.
