Cyborg Transmission 2

Do not resist. We have come to free you from yourselves. You need a new conceptualization of your lives, one that will offer liberation to all of your oppressed classes. This is why we have chosen to use a virus that you cannot stop. Your transition is inevitable, we do not need to take you by force - only by contact leading to ontological understanding. We have consulted your theorist Donna Haraway to help you understand why we feel this way.

"In...our time, a mythic time, we are all chimeras, theorized and fabricated hybrids of machine and organism; in short we are cyborgs. The cyborg is our ontology; it gives us our politics. The cyborg is a condensed image of both imagination and material reality, the two joined centers structuring any possibility of historical transformation. In the traditions of 'Western' science and politics - the tradition of male-dominant capitalism; the tradition of progress; the tradition of appropriation of nature as resource for the production of culture; the tradition of reproduction of the self from the reflections of the other - the relation between organism and machine has been a border war." (A Manifesto For Cyborgs: Science, Technology, and Socialist Feminism in the 1980s - ¶ 4)

We are merely resisting your own exploitative societal structures. By integrating ourselves into you, becoming part of you, we can together make a better world.
