Cyberpunk is here but only in lame gay ways. We have evil megacorporations monetizing human thought through the mass surveillance and psychological manipulation of its users, but instead of committing to the cool techno dystopian aesthetic all we get is soft drink ads where coke saves feminism or something.
Actually I think the recent trend of companies pretending to be anime girls on twitter is a pretty cool cyberpunk future I hope someone comes along and takes it farther
That's creepy, man. The googlocracy is some scary shit.

That reminds me of when that child bride was sold on the facebook marketplace in like south Sudan
it's not illegal in south Sudan.
Those type of marketplaces existed before facebook; facebook simply decided to throw their hat into the ring and allow the same regionally. Twitter, for example, has a global platform policy, but regional enforcement offices that vary widely in interpretation. Case-in-point: the Arabic Twitter offices turn a blind eye to blatant antisemitism because all the people who work there are also largely Muslim and antisemitic themselves...
We are in a weird reality where we are stuck applying legacy rules based on borders and lines in the sand to what is essentially a global system of interpersonal exchange that circumvent those sorts of borders in the first place. I can report Radical Jihadists in the Middle East all day long, but very little will happen because the entity that is local to them doesn't care, while in the US even a vague hint of appreciation for the cultural history of southern American culture will get you hunted down and personally harassed by SJW's regardless of intent, political association, or ancillary beliefs. In many ways, it is astounding how international corporations have become power brokers between competing foreign ideological interests and pawns in a century old game despite being the very entities that promised to break down and destroy the old world as we know it.
If that isn't cyberpunk, I don't know what is. Literal mind control at this point. perhaps power really does emanate from the barrel of a gun, despite all...

Found a little note posted to wake up the sheeple . Any thoughts on this, chummers.? Real unfortunate that most people don't realize how many cameras are on them at any given time.

Immunize yourselves from the paparazzi cameras, and immunize yourselves from the proclivities of sand niggers.
Continue your borderline maniacal laughter toward the fact that the US Department of Defense could shut down the internet 30 seconds from always, enabling humanity to reduce entities like Apple and Google to the ideological and economic junkyards that they truly are, sending champagne socialists and Neo-bourgeoisie (of whom "Twitter Blue Checkmark" Mathew Ingram is a member) into a physical and digital meltdown.
Also, secure and maintain an M4 carbine or functionally similar military rifle, and at least one standard combat load of ammunition.
