My country is getting so cyberpunk that is not funny. The government is literally run by CEOs and they are making big bucks with their former/current corporations, from energy to medical supplies.

Social media is known to be populated by an army of trolls hired by the government to harass the opposition, this was uncovered by a consulting firm when a tv star got attacked on twitter for making a parody of the president.

Big media corporation has business with the government and started a witch hunt against any dissent, they already made the current government win the election with a pseudo-journalist/showman at the head to editorialize the media circus and all. Dissenting journalists and actors were fired on their channels when the conglomerate bought or took over other tv/radio channels or the state intervene.

The drones are more and more used, surveillance cameras are a big business since before the start of this corrupt government and now they even sell the footage to tv shows.

Lately the security minister (known to be the boss of person who manage "troll centers") launched a retaliation on the social media "to prosecute any attempt of terrorism against the state, be for joke or not". Thus far they apprehend some kids who did a joke, which is to be expected because even we are far away from terrorist attacks these arrests on excuse to avoid "public terror" are right after the tv star was attacked and made public his findings, so is all a scapegoat.

And now the government will use the social security database to send emails and phone calls "to keep the public informed about what the government is doing for the citizens". Which is a lie, all we get is junk email during elections, they do this since they were running in the capital city. I myself had one of those emails so I'm not talking shit.

If there is a time when cyberpunk serves as a way to understand reality and to be prepared is now. But how can we survive this orwellian nightmare?
