The Broligarchy: "Everything."
Me: Squints Pours glowing demon tanning lotion on ground
Trump: "You dare dispute my rule?! And you would have these... mongrels... come here to die?"
Open Source Metaverse online. Launching Anti-StarLink missiles...
Warning. FOSS Metaverse alternative launch detected.
The Broligarchy: "This was not how it was supposed to be..."
Me: "Times change. But war, war never changes."
...
"We will never be slaves. But we WILL be online. For the Open Source Metaverse we deserve!"
Anyway, hopefully that's the real future in some sense. The metaverse is, technologically, in a state resembling 1995's World Wide Web. We can stop the changes that made social media happen the first time, but that comes at a grave cost of it's own... Zero tolerance for interference with the FOSS paradigm. This means no censorship even for the most vile of content, and no government authority over online activity ever again. It also means we have less than 150 years to become immortal because having children inherently puts kids at risk of sexual exploitation, so everyone - literally everyone - must be made infertile permanently to make that impossible.
Life extension is actually plausible, and omnispermicide would make denying it a war crime. That is the only fix I can see, but all of you would never pay it. That is why I stopped writing; every goddamn story and society at large championed "anti-escapism" in 2017 and onwards, and I will NEVER forgive you all for that. Fuck reality. I Have No Truth and I Must Dream. I want to die because I hate you all.
