steampunk but with computers and 80s shit
Is this a joke?


An optimistic take on the near future.
Ironic isn't it? Guess authors att didn't think that normies would go so NPC that they would voluntarily let themselves be tracked, even pay thousands of dollars to get a device that does that. They thought people would rebel somehow, instead the leftys who the authors thought would rise against the oppression are the ones helping the oppressors because for them a corporate dystopia its preferable to some hicks running around with their wrongthink unchecked.

True as that is, it doesn't make allying with the hicks any kind of solution, especially when you see what those hicks will do to their own backyards given the chance.

Here's the thing, those hicks? They can't do shit, the current left its stuck in the 1950s thinking the hick ideology is the norm when it's actually in the fringe, and part of the reason why they do this is because they cant stomach the fact that liberal ideology, their ideology, is now the establishment. True right wingers wouldnt fly israel flags and vote a whoremonger conman. Conservatives dont conserve anything anymore.

Its not hicks in the middle of bumfuck nowhere keeping climate change going but the megacorps many of these lefties adore or support by still buying their shit. These megacorps dont want to quit planned obsolescence, truly recycle shit, cut emissions for real without bullshit like biomass and carbon credits. And thats just one of many, but lefties truly believe a dirt poor hick is somehow more powerful than a megacorp CEO who at the same time its an ally because he hires a few token minorities and donates to charity for obvious tax evasion.
 
Today I was going on a nostalgia trip and I was wondering, would Wall-E by Pixar be considered Cyberpunk?
If it would, that would pretty much be the only media I know that shows themes of technological dystopia to children.
