There's an anarchist inside all of us. We all, deep down, want to watch the world burn (or Bern). But 99.9 percent of us are not going to act on that instinct. We're going to continue going through the motions, moving through the system like obedient pawns. We're going to work. We're going to reasonably priced chain restaurants. We're falling asleep in comfortable houses, next to tolerable life-partners. We're going to scroll Reddit. We're going to watch cable network TV shows that let us imagine that we're a genius hacker disrupting the system. We're going to vote for Bernie Sanders.
Though Season One was a perfectly succinct collection of 10 episodes, Mr. Robot is returning. What's going to happen in this second season? This first trailer gives promises that are as vague as any Anonymous threat. It gives us some really solid sound bites as inspiring as any Sanders campaign stump speech. There's a lot of anti-establishment talk. There's a hashtag. And though there's nothing more laughably un-anarchist than watching a TV program on USA network, we're still stoked for Mr. Robot Season Two. It's as if The Matrix, Fight Club, and eight New York Times trend pieces about millennials were combined into one show that didn't give a fuck about making fun of Apple. Needs more Simon & Garfunkel, though.
