Cyberpunk corporate wars becoming reality.

You laugh but it just enables private militaries aka private police

Those are from the beginning of corporations, we don't need to look to speculative fiction. The British East India Company waged literal war against rival corporations.

Definitely agree, but some people remain ignorant of that part of history, so you gotta use fiction to let them know that art mimics reality and that supposed fictional dystopias are here if you look close enough, and will absolutely be here if we don't realize it soon

Pinkerton goons: ugly crying in the corner how could you just forget about me?!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I remember when armed Pinkertons were sent to a normal guys house by a corporation for having a few pieces of paper with stolen artwork on them only a year ago.

Some guy got some magic the gathering cards early so wizards of the coast did what any reasonable group of people would do and violently intimidated the guy until he gave up his goods.

Don’t forget about the dude that was stealing full art secret rare Pokemon cards off the factory floor and selling them at card shows
