Esta série dispensa apresentações. Se ainda não sabes porque é que devias estar a ver MR. ROBOT, passa por este post que fizemos ainda durante a primeira temporada. Reforçamos a fortíssima recomendação para veres!

Aqui está um excerto recente em que Elliot, o protagonista, fala sobre a religião. É um monologo poderoso, politicamente incorreto, que vai ao coração da verdade que, mais do que nunca, é preciso ter em consideração para perceber o que realmente se está a passar por detrás dos supostos extremismos religiosos.. que nada têm a ver com fé, mas sim com jogos de poder.

Estado e Igreja, Poder Secular e Religioso, sempre de mãos dadas, os dois grandes pilares do controlo das massas. “Dealers de esperança”, é um conceito acertado:

“Is that what God does? He helps? Tell me, why didn’t God help my innocent friend who died for no reason while the guilty ran free? Okay. Fine. Forget the one offs. How about the countless wars declared in his name? Okay. Fine. Let’s skip the random, meaningless murder for a second, shall we? How about the racist, sexist, phobia soup we’ve all been drowning in because of him? And I’m not just talking about Jesus. I’m talking about all organized religion. Exclusive groups created to manage control. A dealer getting people hooked on the drug of hope. His followers, nothing but addicts who want their hit of bullshit to keep their dopamine of ignorance. Addicts. Afraid to believe the truth. That there’s no order. There’s no power. That all religions are just metastasizing mind worms, meant to divide us so it’s easier to rule us by the charlatans that wanna run us. All we are to them are paying fanboys of their poorly-written sci-fi franchise. If I don’t listen to my imaginary friend, why the fuck should I listen to yours? People think their worship’s some key to happiness. That’s just how he owns you. Even I’m not crazy enough to believe that distortion of reality. So fuck God. He’s not a good enough scapegoat for me.”
