I have to strongly disagree with your view on Syndrome’s ultimate goal. I thought it very American – if someone’s better than you, improve yourself. In Syndrome’s world people would, in fact, be more successful. I, personally, am OK with that, even if it means no one is special.

Lanier’s attempt to ignore reality through language manipulation, on the other hand, is true evil.

Hmmm…. Syndrome as an icon of the end goals of American liberalism. Whoever knew The Incredibles was political commentary?

BTW, Guinier achieved brief fame as a nominee for Assistant Attorney General under Clinton in 1993, but her nomination was withdrawn when her hostility to the simple “one citizen, one vote” rule became public. I think Goldber would describe her a a classic “liberal fascist.”
