"The works of William Gibson, games like Deus Ex were the building blocks that create the world of Neofeud... A dystopian cyberpunk adventure that needs to be experienced." --Hyper Light Up

Fox News reporting, "Rise of socialism in the US!"

Yeah! Do that socialism rising thing more! That's great! You're going to spread it! Haha!

IP Megacorp Cartels really suck, yeah. But the solution is everyone cooperatively owning their digital businesses and redistributing fruits of their labor fairly, cause everyone just giving everything away, *at present* only helps capitalists like MSoft, Google etc.. If you're coding as a hobby project that's cool. But if you also have food, healthcare, and clean water, where are you getting that shit? I don't have that, so I need people to pay me for my software work, or me and my kids starve.

Information may want to be free, but coders need to not starve, and not have to work 80 hrs/week, live in a closet in parent's house at age 37.

When we can print pizza out of Universal Constructors for free, ubiquitous self-owning construction mechs build houses and water systems for free, you can get insulin, quadruple bypasses by medbots free, and self-driving cars & self-flying planes freely shuttle you around, then everything can be free. Until then, we need to pay people for their work.

Neofeud is "A story of an anarcho-communist revolutionary, a slumbot-turned druglord wanna-be billionaire baller, and a social worker attempt to overthrow post-democratic neofeudal capitalism."

Also a story of my personal experiences growing up as a POC in a US ghetto, and my experiences as a teacher and social worker for underserved poor, marginalized, and immigrant populations (while being paid starvation wages). Written, programmed, painted, and soundtracked by myself over 2 1/2 years.

Thanks everyone who bought Neofeud this sale! This has gone a long way to help treat our tannin and microbe-filled tap water, and supports my life decision to not become a hi-frequency trading AI programmer for a TBTF bank. :) Faith in sentient-kind's ability to run a post-capitalist society at scale ++.

Some stilted character modulations (people suddenly friendly / hate-on for each other) but that gives it a weird, charming indie quality to a biggish SyFy network show.

The Expanse Season 3 second half, going deep into panspermia-pocalypse and superintelligent alien mindfuckery with microtubules encased in weird, writerly Chandler-esque noir lingo. Deeply here for it!

RIP, Harlan Ellison, you ur-cyberpunk mother fucker!

He's screaming at all underpaying Disney execucrats, forever, however mouthless, from six feet under.

Koch Brothers: "We're prepared to commit seven-figures to support a Supreme Court nominee in the mold of Gorsuch."

Damn, that's such a Neofeud move! In the sense that hypercapitalist neofeudal monarchs no longer need to hide behind CEO / philanthropist / "job creator" masks and are now just coming out and openly buying the law, government, paved roads, etc..

Televised Revolution:
Green mohawk dudes launch RPGs from cyberarms at rentacops asJohnny Mnemonic headset 1337 haxxes the neural mind control algorithms, Fight Clubbing the bank towers to RATM "Wake Up"

Real Revolution:
Gramma May sells the daycare to underpaid hispanic maid, black girl selling bottled Aquafina, & ex-miner from Kansas whose water was coming out brown, kids got hookworms. They convert to a worker owned cooperative. Go to boring surplus-use meetings daily, but are happier.

How would you rate your current housing situation:
-It's great. I have as much space as I need, I like the area.
-It's alright, but I'm a little cramped
-I'm super cramped and feel like I have no space.
-I'm homeless.

Full disclosure: this is for personal research for fiction writing purposes. Feel free to share as much or as little as you're comfortable with.

General Strike on Amazon EU:

Global strike! No one go to work for megacorporations- except co-ops, democratized workplaces, and indie companies run out of rusting shipping containers and monocrystalline panels! All you uberdriving machine learning Ph. Ds living in cardboard boxes, artschool dropouts shilling brands on Birdsite with a gofundme for Ramen dinner, taskrabbiting coders underpaid to automate your own job away -- DEMAND TO BE PAID WHAT YOU'RE WORTH!

(If you can, don't hurt yourself!)

Let be clear that we should talk to just regular folks with different life experiences that disagree with us - this call "for civility stuff" with regard to Trump administration officials does not count. Apart from the massive power assymetries and the fact that these are public officials who must be held to a higher standard, if you're an active participant in ripping kids from families and throwing them into concentration camps, you deserve more than getting kicked out of a Mexican restaurant.
