politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Robber Barons have captured the government is what's happening.
In other words, we are entering the cyberpunk timeline.
Minus all the cool shit.
As a transwoman I have already upgraded my chest with awesome tits, check your eggbar for upgrade paths.
I did but so far I only have baby trans titties.
Not bad though for only four months in.
Well... Musk's heartless ass is killing lots of animals trying to make a data jack.
I don't know if that qualifies as cool but it is cyberware.
Id argue that the cybernetics are the worst part of cyberpunk personally.
I'd argue it's the corporate feudalism but I feel you.
I meant from an aesthics and tech point of view, without the corporate feudalism and what not its just mid scifi or if taken to a further extreme grimdark.
That's a fair analysis.
The other comment said without cool shit and I don't think there's anything really cool about cyberpunk aside from mohawks. Cyberware, VR and corporate feudalism are pretty much what defines the genre. So I figured they were referring to cyberware as being the cool shit or VR. And the datajack Musk is working on is what makes full VR possible. At least in theory.
It's meant to be a dystopian setting not someplace where you want to live, unless you're the richest man in the world hoping to kick off corporate feudalism.
