Goddamn, I should just get into writing.

Yeah, that got old quick, though. You’d see them defending cops beating up protesters and... I mean, what else can you say at that point?

It’s because they were never actually libertarian to begin with.

You didn’t specify, which is why I responded. The Sprawl trilogy is great - even if dated - and a must read for anyone interested in cyberpunk, imho. I enjoyed Snow Crash, but The Diamond Age is much better. Can’t say I’m familiar with Banks, unfortunately.

I think you guys are being trolled by this person. They keep using the term “NPC” unironically.

I had a background in psychology, and my narcissist ex was still able to fool me completely and ground my life into dust before I realized what was going on. Years later, I still haven’t recovered completely, and dealing with this presidency is living in a constant state of being triggered (lots of anxiety, but plenty…
