Lol the funniest part of Marxism Leninism to me is how literally every ML is like “wait shit, this population is struggling with literacy? Nah fuck that, we building schools and teaching kids and adults to read” like from Hoxha to Stalin to Castro to Mao to Minh everyone recognizes illiteracy as an evil of class struggle

Better Call Cuba

Damn, I thought Cali was supposed to have better public education than the rest of the country. No water, no air, and no education? Surprised people still live there at this point.

Reminds me of an ad/news program in Cyberpunk 2077 where the newsreader was telling the viewer about the astonishing illiteracy rates^1^ of the NUSA^2^, or at the very least, Night City.^3^

Seems like the real USA is slowly heading to that direction as well.

^1^ - I don't remember the exact rates, I think she said 1 in 4 people in the NUSA is literate

^2^ - New United States of America

^3^ - which - by the way - is located in California in CP2077's world. Prophetic, huh?

We've lived in cyberpunk for a while. It's just unevenly spread

[-] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago

Yeah, without all the cool gadgets and neon lightings.

Regardless, I hope that cyberpunk will become post-cyberpunk at some point.

Oh we're getting there. There are already artificial eye crystalline lenses that allow better than natural peripheral vision. Source: my former teacher who got one.

What we aren't likely to be getting, however, are those hip, mirrorshade wearing anarchistic hackers and whatnot, who rob Megacorps on the regular.

Shouldn't those be very expensive? Do Teachers in Usonia get paid that well?

Maybe, maybe not. They could be one of The Anonymous for all I know.

I'm in Russia lol. And yes, those are quite expensive and teachers aren't paid that much. I think his children paid for it.

Judging by their actions and announcements, Anonymous has been either taken over or have always been feds. Hackers in general seem to be largely employed by big actors - governments and megacorps
