No don't things like this are cool. Slow moving boards are the best.
I feel as though the world will become very cyberpunk by ~2025.
Due to the influx of large corporations and government spying a cyberpunk sub-group will be born. But i'll be 51. So that sucks.

>It's a dystopia, but a lame one.
Truer words have never been spoken. This is the cyberpunk reality of today.
Most of the predictions of cyberpunk have come true, at least the near-future predictions (e.g. totalitarian government control, cyber crime, unaccountable megacorporations, commodification of pretty much everything, massive pollution and overpopulation, social unrest, etc.) but the aesthetic is weak and our dystopian overlords are sleepy politically-correct Jews and feminists.
This is the lamest but also probably the most cyberpunk timeline.

>world is not facist enought
Nearly ALL parts of the world are tightening up their power. There are few nations without a "National Bank" which is a funny Building for Globalist millionaires with a monopoly on printing money. Those riches on the top are teaming up at incredible rate and imposing their will upon the world.
Of course people have started rejecting them in some areas like Iceland(Or was it greenland) but they're a direct democracy and why would they care about that?
Also, nothing is stopping any raids to those rich buildings. They probably won't even expect it though certainly police would be there soon.

>I was feeling these feels today while driving home from Christmas shopping. Life is so terribly dull.
You can't be bored by Christmas shopping if you refuse to celebrate Christmas. It's much more entertaining to hang out on the Internet and post in slow-moving threads that pop up at Christmastime each year for FOUR years. (Although actually I gave one person a Christmas present, but it was cheaper than the meal I bought for her, so it was a token gesture.)
You can also treat Christmas as a day for romantic dates. It's an anime trope that works in real life (so long as you have enough brouzouf to date someone).

>mooommy why wont cyberpunk life live itself for me moooom
literally nothing prevents you from making bombs, distributing bombs, distributing info to create bombs, spying on a google employee, attempting to hijack his devices, try and add as much estrogen as you can to your political opponent or rival's diet, hijack cameras, setup data gathering spots, social engineer, dress cool or dress like a total normie to blend in or masquerade as a fucking sanitation worker or some other layman or maybe an official and infiltrate places, or maybe starting up a fucking food delivery place and putting your rivals out of business by ddosing their fucking delivery making site or flooding it, or fucking with their paths and deliveries by making fake orders that look like real and will trap them in traffic jams, and that's only hijacking your opponents - there's plenty of room to play in terms of optimizing your own delivery
and then when you have your autonomously operating small business generating profit you can indulge into cyberpunk lyfe even further and now you have a fucking alibi you're a simple businessman pizza cook.
you can create a bomb and attach it to drone and fly it into a politician or official's child's classroom and detonate it
you can do 1000000s of things RIGHT NOW, and you can do 10000000s more with some preparation and decisiveness.cheers

TBH pcp was created by the same edgetards that flocked into cyber without even knowing how to use a computer. And now that they got too old to be rebels and got their way into the system and brouzouf they want to defend the system
>Postcyberpunk characters tend to seek ways to live in, or even strengthen, an existing social order
Same shit mr.robot is shilling now: "prez cheeto won because of computers so computers are bad now and megacorps are good m'kay?"
The problem with pcp is that they dont realize thats what happening right now dwarfs even the most edgy cyberpunk stories of the past. Its even in that article:
>Additionally, it is far more difficult (bordering on impossibility) to operate anonymously or in the shadows outside of the system (the "Punk" aspect of Cyberpunk) or under dual/false identities. The increase of security profiling, monitoring, hidden surveillance and current forensics technology is making it less and less possible to move around without leaving fingerprints or footprints of some type, digital or otherwise.
Consider for a second that right now billions of people are willingly carrying tracking devices that log their entire lives and they not only hand over that information to governments and megacorps but they even paid for the benefit of doing so

>Everyone always looks at me weird when I bring this up as an issue.
Just reframe it as a financial issue. I find I get a lot more traction when I mention that they have to subscribe to a 'service' to play music on their phone. They point out that it'll play MP3 files …sure, but fewer and fewer phones have an SD card slot where you could store your own music. It gets just a tiny bit harder to play your own MP3 on your phone, and just a little easier to subscribe to a music service.
Then you ask if they know where you can buy just an MP3 player, that won't tell Google or Apple what you're playing, for when they finally decide to put DRM checking software and proprietary players on their phones.
It's not just the spying, it's the software ecosystem. It's harder to find a good stand alone GPS because Google does it for free … once they're impossible to find, will Google stay free? It's harder to find stand alone, offline, devices to do a lot of stuff we used to take for granted.
We're being boxed in to NEEDING their closed device just to do stuff we used to do in the 90s without an internet connection. Everything we bought a (cheeper) device for, and did offline for free is turning into a service you rent a 1,000 dollar device to be able to access.
Very soon, you'll be renting your phone for $50/month, and paying another $50/month for access, then $15/month for music, and another $10/month for google services, etc, etc …
You won't own anything, you'll just rent.
Explain that, and people sit up straight. They don't care about privacy, but no one likes it when you fuck with their money.

The end goal is some sort of a financial matrix: rather than being living batteries, humans will be living ATM (which they already are) with a reduced consumer choice. Everyone born will be renting services, and will eventually work to pay for them. The point would be to lock them in a producing state (can't stop working if you have a mortgage for every little thing you consume). The only freedom in there would be in tweaking the terms of the service, while corporations will compete for a way to convince you to switch to their services.
We're already there, but the illusion of freedom is getting more and more narrow. Try living without a phone or the internet.

its an absolutely retarded and ill defined idea. What are you expecting to accomplish and how do you expect to do it ? There will not be a master "Facebook/Google" control panel in the building with a big "delete everything" button. There will be a bunch of offices, some amenties like gyms and cafes, and people on personal machines. There is like no property you could destroy that would cause permanent or noticeable damage and likely no information of stategic value that you could gather - partially because you will be caught and jailed before you even understand the building layout.

>>9310
>A revolt in a first-world country would be even easier, as we would have better access to technology to nullify military gear which is easier than you think
top wtf. Its exactly that opposite. Modern Military equipment has made holding ground impossible, and lead to rise in "insurgency" where the enemy is unable to hold ground, or fight conventionally. Its a huge war of attrition, that destroys the economy, and everything worth having until one side gives up. Pistols and rifles will not be suitable equipment to fight a mechanized military with. You will never hold ground.
>>9326
>Modern military equipment don't work in urban environments. Jets can't hit a fire hydrant without causing massive collateral economic damage, tanks can't go up elevators and will get hit with IEDs around every street corner, drones and other spy equipment aren't nearly as effective in buildings with dense populations.
There is no chance that an ad hoc resistance composed to rifles, pistols, and improvised explosives will fend off an assault on a city by a mechanized army with air support. You will have to pull an ISIS and force the population to act as human shields, which will alienate the population, and destroy your rebellion over time. Also tactics like blockade and seige would drive a first world city to submission in a time frame of a 2 weeks or so. There are no farms, no power infrastructure that could be operated independently. No expertise. You would just have a population of retail workers not going to their job, trying to flee your city.
