I don't know if Elliot is supposed to be pretentious per se, but he is very clearly someone who is not well, psychologically, and we're meant to know that's where his outlook is coming from and to question it. He's intensely paranoid, probably depressed, almost certainly on the spectrum, and he feels deeply and immensely helpless.

Plus, the quote OP is talking about is from one of Elliot's conversations with his mandated psychologist. It's not some kind of self righteous diatribe he delivers to his friends. It's the shit that's in his head that he spits out after his therapist wheedles and prods him for some clue as to what's going on with him.

The thing about Mr. Robot is that it seems (I'm only four episodes in) to be a show where no alliance is the right alliance. It's not the story of a heroic boy, a toxic, capitalist culture, and a scrappy band of rebels who want to help people. It's the story of an estranged, mentally ill boy; a toxic, capitalist culture; and an angry fringe cult that wants to fuck shit up.

It's a good show, and it's a hell of a lot more complex than you're giving it credit for, OP. Is it "this generations Fight Club"? Yeah, probably. But I'd say it's a lot more like the book than the movie.

Yeah, this about covers it. I think it's one of the better written shows on television.

I think you said it rather well, anon.
