people don't realize that zion is still part of the matrix. While it's debatable whether or not Neo actually left the simulation, the matrix itself was the system of control used to corral dissenters and deserters until the time came for extermination and Neo never left that part of the matrix. So yes, he only had the illusion of choice and left or right, blue or red, all lead to the same conclusion

I love how two people settled their differences and afterward there was no grudge, hostilities, shit talking, media propaganda campaign, or talks of lawsuits so people have to manufacture their own drama over it. like damn, a dude insulted a dude's wife and for once it was handled in a way everybody would have wanted to handle it if it had happened to them and we can't let that go.

well first we'll have to eliminate the corporations attempting to sell those same services to us
