I get that this was made in the 80s and that its an alternative timeline where silly things happen but why do goverments just let corporations shit all over them in the timeline?Like it goes beyond irl "ooh that evil corporation is paying off politicians" and into trump letting elon musk shit on his mouth on live television. Like i get the antagonism being played up because boomers thought a billionaire like trump becoming president was comedic and absurd but at what point does militech just go "alright we're the US government now" and drop the retarded power struggle against an already dessicated corpse? Did nationalism as a concept just die in cyberpunk ? Why do americans work for arasaka wich openly and violently treats them as gaijin cattle?
>>744601890militech was nationalized and is part of the NUSA government, there is no struggle.
Why doesn't [insert rich techbro here] declare himself the supreme leader of the free world gee man I dunno maybe optics matter and keeping up the illusion of a democratic republic is more important nevermind that the military-industrial complex is synonymous with all developed nations.
>>744601890In the timeline? Nigger, are you fucking blind? Did you miss what they're doing with datacenters?
