A group of friends vow to do whatever it takes to stop evil corporate overlords from destroying the Earth. How? They aren’t sure. They explore various strategies, but so far nothing has worked. As they build a resistance movement, those who love them the most can be their biggest obstacles.

the bean and cheese taco is the thesis, while the liver and peppermint taco is the antithesis.

Supplementary text (see stephaniemcmillan.org):
Everybody has one.
Whether we’re aware of it or not, we each live our lives according to our own personal internalized philosophical theory—a more or less contradictory jumble of assumptions, beliefs, intentions, and hypotheses about the nature of the universe and our place in it. Each of us has ideas about the nature of existence, motion, and relationships. They come from everywhere and blend together: experiences, conversations, reading, mass media, advertising, teachers, family, friends and foes. (And most importantly, cartoons).
We can think through these theories, try to break them down and understand them, experiment with putting them into practice to determine what is correct and incorrect. As we learn to apply theory, we are able to increasingly align our actions with our thoughts.
The other option is to passively accept the premises and outlook that we’ve been trained in since birth (which, since they are products of the system‘s ideological hegemony, lead to spontaneous total identification with the system), and meekly follow the path our enemy has laid down for us: school, work, unemployment line, prison, FEMA camp, nursing home, death.

I think I get it, but by succeeding in school and work I have avoided the unemployment line and the come hither FEMA Camp. So the alternative is to flunk out of school, avoid work, get on social security disability benefits, spend some time in prison, check out FEMA camp, and die in a spectacular firefight for the ultimate leaders of the revolution so they can become the 1%!

Don’t you want to see how the revolutionaries are going to destroy America from within? A furry rabbit and hamster will be the new Che and Mao. After they murder the 1% see how they turn on each other as they argue the finer points of the revolution and see who is left standing.

What a pompous bore. You remind me of a sophomore in one of my Political Science classes. Constantly spouting incoherent revolutionary claptrap while exuding self-righteous conceit. Grow up.
