  • You reminded me of something by mentioning cyberpunk: if this case does not lead to an actual mass movement, it will probably accelerate in the opposite direction, of unlimited capitalist liberalism in which every CEO is a demigod with a private army for his personal defense. Which, as you well said, is narrated in every cyberpunk story but which is a symptom of its realization.


  • I actually took the killer for granted since it seems like a fact online now, furthermore the resemblance is remarkable and, if we stick to the police, it seems he was found with a loader and a manifesto.

    I completely agree with paying attention to the mud machine, the first thing they will do is distract public attention on trivialities such as the personal lives of the protagonists, promptly hiding the social problem.



  • I personally find it absurd that a murder involving a few people makes the world talk about these health problems much more effectively than street demonstrations of thousands of protesters. The real fact is that the protesters are us, here on the net, now much more impactful online than one on the street, and I don’t know if this is worrying or not but this is the reality (at least in many contexts).
