Oh, the hypocrisy, I hear some of you cry. All this talk about eliminating individualism, yet now we are to be evaluated? Does not that inevitably elevate one above another? And does not that send us sliding down the same slippery slope towards despotism that you so passionately railed against?!

First of all, nice manifesto playback. But relax, this evaluation is not a beauty contest. This is about whether you understand and are accurately representing the artistic and spiritual principles of our movement. Do that and you'll be fine.

Individualism versus Non-conformity

As long as we're on the subject of accused hypocrisy, I want your take on one final matter.
