We live in the dumbest, lamest cyberpunk dystopia possible.

So LA has been — and continues to — protest against ICE. These protests haven’t gotten any smaller or lost any momentum, but social media wasn’t reflecting it.

TikTok users, realizing that the platform/other social media are censoring/deleting/shadowbanning these protest videos, decided to find a workaround.

They’re calling it the LA Music Festival. Ice detention centers and other protest locations are “stages.” The hottest band is Rage Against the Machine. “Here’s what gear you should be bringing to stay safe at the LA Music Festival.”

And it fucking worked.

TikTok has become a proving ground for a lot of new music, meaning lots of labels and organizations have lucrative deals with TikTok to promote their new artists and music festivals. So they absolutely cannot censor the words “music festival” or train the algorithm to ignore it, or they risk endangering that very important revenue.

So now protest videos are flooding feeds again, but it’s the LA 24/7 Music Festival. Truly an incredible timeline we’ve landed in.

I haven't seen this version anywhere so I made one!

I always saw solarpunk as a vision "what might happen if we were less shit in the future". Technological development alongside an appreciation for nature and recognition that not everybody suits living in a concrete box with 10 million neighbours.

Cyberpunk was created by leftist authors making predictions about the future of capitalism and using fiction to satirize it.

Solarpunk was created mostly by a yogurt commercial.

I think I know which one is the actual leftist subgenre.

Crazy how for so long everyone has been like "oh you're going to China? They censor everything though. You can't even just Google. They take all your data and your fingerprints and everything. You can't even search up tianmen square. They control the media there. You have to use special messaging apps because WhatsApp is blocked. Did you know minors can only play one hour of multiplayer games a day? Because the CCP controls everything."

And now we can't even go on twitter, discord, possibly even Wikipedia. Not only are we limited on how long we play, we can't even buy many anymore. Not even if you prove you're an adult. They've all been taken down. WhatsApp is threatening to remove services instead of remove it's encryption. One of the topics considered worthy of censorship was depiction of menstruation. You know, that thing that half of everyone goes through from an age much younger than 18.

And there are people defending this. The same people who hate on China. For its censorship. They are defending this.

what the actual fuck

The EU (still) wants to scan your private messages and photos

🚨 You WILL Be Impacted 🚨

Every photo, every message, every file you send will be automatically scanned—without your consent or suspicion.

If you live in the EU*, contact your MEPs NOW and tell them to vote NO! Go here to learn more & FIGHT BACK!

*especially if you live in Germany - they have not yet decided, and their opposition is crucial!

Please reblog! If the EU passes this, it weakens online privacy worldwide.
