      well, we have pills to change gender, pills to talk to God, we can immediately reach out to most humans in the world without moving, and we have a lot of fascists to kill

        we can immediately reach out to most humans in the world without moving

        That window has been closing since 2008. We interact with who we’re supposed to interact with. The chances of me hearing the plight of a third world farmer directly from his mouth is slim to none.

          Oh the proper channels are closing.

          But the improper ones are opening more.

          Heck, were seeing analysis of how US liberal media suppresses violence against Palestinians less than a year after in happened. During the cold war that would be ten years.

            I’d say that’s mostly Tiktok/China holding up a mirror to the west. As soon as some deal is struck between them and China, that too, will stop

          I said we can, I never said we do. More possibilities doesn’t mean better possibilities.

          Periscope solved that quite well by showing a world map with everybody currently livestreaming. So you could just hop between countries and continents and see what others were doing. Wasn’t profitable enough or something, so Twitter killed it.

        Acsshually it’s more likely that you’re talking to a bot trying to pass as a human than a human. That’s as punk as it gets.

      Cigarettes that need batteries, cheap led blue lights to stop the homeless from shooting up, electric cars and robot dogs for the elites, giant corporations infecting politics

      We’re in it bub for a very long time.

        Air fryers are not the first thing that come to my mind when I think cool cyberpunk, probably is not even the 100th thing.

    We’ve been in a cyberpunk timeline for a while now.

    And I’m making a new years resolution right now to make it even more so, emphasis on the punk.

    I mean, it’s close.

    But this is like if neuromancer was written by Tom Sharpe instead of William Gibson.

    The Cyberocalypse will not be streamed.

    Watching a documentary on NEOM and all the other Neo-EPCOT plans of the Saudis, and I’m starting to wonder if we’re heading into a Cyberpunk & Digital Dystopia OR if that is just the facade of a future that all these billionaires and financial firms are using to scam us into a much more analog and material dystopia as they monopolize all the real resources and real estate in some post-modern form of feudalism.
