VS have a different ideology from NC, that's why they didn't join them.

On one hand you have the NC perspective - and that is that the VS are no better than the TR. The NC see the VS technology as a quasi-religious cult that is brainwashing people with the technology, which can be used to enslave the populace, which explains their zealous devotion to alien technology. The NC see them as just as much a threat to liberty and capitalism as the TR.

The VS also see the NC differently, seeing them just as backwards as the TR in their inability to embrace the next step in human evolution, and their clinging to silly notions like Freedom when there is so much more.

The NC want freedom and individuality. The VS want the next step in human evolution without any regard to the individual. They are a collective which doesn't value freedom at all. They couldn't be more different.
