the paranoia thing after having had bedbugs is so fucking real. why do fascists love spreading plagues so much? do they all just jack off to 'snow crash' all day?
They think hygiene is a conspiracy
I like my version more.
If you've ever been to the bay area, and this actually comes up in the most recent 'behind the bastards' episodes, the entirety of silicon valley, where a lot of modern anglophone fascism comes from, is made entirely of four things:
reinventing the dumbest philosophy of dark ages, now with cyberpunk flavor
calling the scifi story they read that one time "logic"
"reinventing the Torment Nexus, from their favorite dystopian novel 'Do Not Build The Torment Nexus'"
weird sex stuff. which is sometimes pretty fun.
so I think "they all jack off to snow crash, especially the parts with the fifteen year old" is equally plausible.
then again; por que no los dos?
