This is what the city of Los Angeles would look like in November, 2019, according to the movie Blade Runner (1982).
Even in a dystopian setting, we were promised replicants, flying cars and all kinds of technological advancements controlled with green terminals.
We got a society in cultural decline in which retards sell their data for pennies while arguing on Facebook about the rights of Black, muslim, lesbian, gender-fluid transgender wymyn on their boring, dumbed-down portable minicomputers.
That's exactly what happens in blade runner you fucking moron

normies you could also say consumerism but that's also derived from normies

How is a flying car fundamentally different from a smartphone? Both are just fun toys, not more.
Gabriel Jackson
>What went wrong? Blade Runner is infinitely more dystopian than what happened IRL. You might as well ask "what went right" The answer being "most things", since Blade Runner was overly pessimistic.
Kevin Bell
Flying cars exist, there is just no market for them and they would be difficult to implement. You would have to consider flight paths and shit, imagine all the people who would crash into planes.
Jayden Martin
The decline of Western civilization. The seeking of comfort softened entire generation and created mundane generic masses of sheep.

You should really rewatch blade runner. It's the basis for cyberpunk culture which is full of sexual deviancy and degeneracy. A cyberpunk city is effectively late stage leftism. The city itself is a take on Henry Ford's design and British and Soviet Bloc housing. It shows what happens when people are living in huge skyscrapers, stuck into their devices and integrated into a botnet that can control their very perception of reality. Theres rampant drug use, sex sold on street corners, and all sorts of people dressed even more like fags than we have today. Except unlike now, they're enabled by society to do whatever degenerate shit they feel like and it's just accepted. The thought of living in a cyberpunk society should be enough to give your grandmother a heart attack.
Lucas Diaz
We GOT flying cars and all those things made. It's just a fact that nobody actually wanted to buy them. But anyway we figured out how to do it.
Joshua White
Airline industry is controlled by jews who would never allow flying cars to be cheaply made.
Daniel James
Cyberpunk is multi-cultural
Owen Smith
But that's what actually happens in Blade Runner, except for selling data part. Streets are full of migrants from all over the world, talking in gibberish version of English. Vid related: youtu.be/vbRRL7S2Tg0 Lots of fags and queers too. The difference is that in the movie mass migration was caused by third world war. In our world it's stupid libtards and shlomos wanting more easy money.
By the way, tech you listed is either dangerous or gimmicky >replicants Dangerous and unethical. Don't play gods. >flying cars Too complex and expensive to be practical. 2049 got it right. There will be flying cars, but it will be used only by government agencies, rich people and maybe geeks willing to spend so much money on a flying car. Regular folks will just use autopilot Waymos or something.
Adrian Hernandez
Have you been to NYC? Minus the cool aesthetic thats literally what is depicted. Degenerate fucktards crammed together like sardines in commieblocks they cant afford sucked into irrelevant technology.
Wyatt Murphy
The jews are thinking about your safety, currently flying car control isn't good enough to give them to normies. Current battery power sucks anyway, that isn't the fault of the jews

>A cyberpunk city is effectively late stage leftism. No user. It has nothing to do with executing the bourgeoisie, taking their assets and redistributing them fairly. Cyberpunk is the purest essence of unshackled late stage capitalism, it is as far right as you can possibly go.
Cameron Sanchez
A central tent of the genre was that governments would weaken beyond recognition and their role would be filled by private companies unchecked by even the bare minimum of regulation. Snowcrash, a seminal work in the genre, even had corporations buying sovereign territory and leasing entire military forces to toothless governments unable to check their ruthless ambition. Cyberpunk is what we're living, more and more, and while it sucks not to have flying cars the things machine learning can do are much more terrifying.
Julian Harris
Yes, that sure sounds like the sort of hypercapitalism proposed by the likes of Mencious Moldbug.
Jack Anderson
>machine learning """AI""" is a meme.
Carter Ward
Cyberpunk is about libertarian dystopias, not feudalistic ones - that's the post-apocalyptic genre, at least sometimes.
That's why I said machine learning, not AI.
Jacob Reyes
>Cyberpunk is about libertarian dystopias, not feudalistic ones - that's the post-apocalyptic genre, at least sometimes. Moldbug is libertarianism in the purest form, though. His notion of the cathedral is nothing more than a transparent actualization of the shady backroom dealings, he cuts out the middle man, basically.
Juan Lee
I mean technically speaking we still live in a cyberpunk dystopia with an all-knowing mechanical brain and an oppressive regime controlling our every movements, it's just that it's called Google and we gave over our control voluntarily
Also, flying cars don't work because traffic would fucking KILL the appeal. Y'all think it would be a good time but even freedom demands order and a flying car is the ultimate freedom.
You want a good modern Cyberpunk, I can't recommend Mr. Robot enough, I really can't. Especially the first season.
Benjamin James
>tfw real life is just cyberpunk, but without all the cool stuff
