The fuck we have to be proud of nowadays? We are indistinguishable from the original Cyberpunk rulebook in terms of institutional power and behavior. You get nothing as a US citizen except a guarantee to not be bombed by the US as their masked agents drag you out to a country you've never been to. Theres nothing to be proud of here. We lost any vision we might have had for the future. All we are is empty.
