"e/acc is not an ideology. It is not a movement. It is simply an acknowledgement of truth."

I'm pretty sure that's what totalitarian groups always say? It's not an opinion that your race is less than ours, it's a FACT. These people are mad.

"I already am eating from the trashcan all the time. The name of this trashcan is ideology. The material force of ideology - makes me not see what I'm effectively eating. It's not only our reality which enslaves us. The tragedy of our predicament - when we are within ideology, is that - when we think that we escape it into our dreams - at that point we are within ideology."

When someone treats a rhetorical flourish in an overly literal manner, is he deliberately misrepresenting a group he dislikes, or is it just a misreading?

You think I'm treating the rhetoric of this borg manifesto too harshly?
