People are joking now, but the long term goal of Neoliberals will be states being auctioned off to the highest bidder.

First it will just be sponsorship with the name. Then it will be a mandatory consultation for every law in the making. Then it will be a right to veto a number of laws every year. Then it will be the right to approve or reject candidates in every election held in the state.

I don’t necessarily like how the community is run on lemmy, so I won’t link it, but it’s apt to say, this is a boring dystopia.

Wdym? The President jacked billions of dollars with a crypto rugpull the first day of his presidency. It totally is a cyberpunk dystopia. We even have body mods.

You may have misinterpreted the meaning of the meme, 'cuz you're preaching to the choir.

I mean, I'm trans and I used to have a magnetic sensory implant. All I need to fit the stereotypical mode is a cyberdeck and some neon hair dye.

All that's missing for the true dystopia was a government that's totally powerless to resist corporate predation and we've got that now.
