Our corporate overlords are absolutely not cool. Elon is weird nerd who keeps getting owned online and sucks up to his replyguys more than I ever did with my parasocials. Bezos can't laugh and looks like a dipshit. Zuck is a customer service AI 3D model made by Tommy Wisseau. Anyone not in tech is just a boring old guy in a suit.
The megacorps aren't cool weapon and pharma manufacturers with awesome name. TSMC is #10 most valuable coporation, the other 9 are Apple (invented selling you a new phone every year), Microsoft (invented Bill Gates), Saudi Aramco (ok, this one is almost cool), Alphabet (invented giving you bad search results), Amazon (delivery service), NVIDIA (bitcoin mining), Berkshire Hathaway (insurSNOOORE), Tesla (invented car that catches fire) and Meta (invented VR Chat-but-bad). None of them are like Saeder-Krupp or Arasaka.
The panopticon exists to pull more petty scams. Zuck could pull up live feeds of our genitals at any time, and that sort of power is used to sell us another pair of pants. Billions of dollars are spent to make using the internet less immersive, less intuitive, and just plain annoying.
Corporate warfare doesn't exist. Microsoft asks the state to let it acquire Breast Milk Sex Pest Game Design Studio with the reasoning that "we suck at making games, guys, :""""(" Nobody is getting whacked by cyber samurai. Tesla buying Twitter was more of a clownshow than warfare. Google and Amazon just steal from smaller companies without any hostile takeovers.
And, worst of all, we're not cyborgs. I still go to a clinic to get maintenance done, not to gain abilities man was never meant to have. I can't throw out my shitty left eye for either a crude-looking obvious implant that would let me see gamma radiation nor a sexy glowy eye I could read cohost on. I have to have monthly visits to cure some annoying pain in my leg and not to have them replaced by a pair of chrome striders that would let me jump cars and crush my genitals into a pulp the first time I sit down. Srsly, nobody ever seems to care about the fleshy dangly bits that would soon be dangling next to industrial machinery.
THIS FUCKING SUCKS
