Here's what Moscow looks like

sadly nobody wants to be the bad guy -- fascists, liberals and racists all mostly deny being what they are and try to come up with sneaky ways to sell their message instead. there are too few openly bad guys in this dystopia.

A hallmark of cyberpunk is that the malevolent forces of society are coming up with sneaky ways to sell their messages and image. There aren't any openly bad guys to the society itself, because all of the violence that's necessary to recreate it happens hidden from public view. A hacker digging for proof of criminality in a corporate database has his brain fried by security programs, but does the rest of society know about it? Would they even blame the corporation for defending its data? The thrill of cyberpunk comes from being able to uncover the truth of the world as it is.

I guess ultimately the only reason we live in the shittiest cyberpunk dystopia is because we haven't created the cyberpunk dystopia we want

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

all the cool augs are coming btw
