    I hope this doesn't sound grandiose but Zelenskyy seems to be reinventing the world in front of our eyes—reimagining culture, borders, digital citizenship & leadership, even the idea of "living on Earth." If he is assassinated, the loss will be unfathomably great.

    Is that ironic or unironic?

    Answer

    Unironic

    This more West Wing than The West Wing text was retweeted by William Gibson. He's such a super lib.

      Dude needs to have his ability to use the internet physically burned out of him like Case in neuromancer

      Such an incredible leader he lead his nation into an unwinnable conflict because he fell for NATOs backroom promises of support.

      What a great leader. Truly inspiring .

      I've been following Gibson for a couple of years and it never ceases to surprise me how much of a lib the father of cyberpunk is. And people were going "it's such a politically radical genre" when that video game came out.

        At least in all the cyberpunk stuff Ive consumed the radicalism seems confined to just observations that boil down to "the world sucks, capitalism and greed is evil" in various forms, and thats perfectly fine for capitalists, you can think capitalism sucks as much as you want, as long as you dont think theres a viable and preferable alternative. It's just a lot of fetishization of a personal or subcultural sense of radicalism and glorifying small symbolic victories that are somehow meant to prove some moral point.

          The radical solution always either boils down to "upload oneself to the matrix (transhumanism) and live happily ever after" or "never touch the matrix again (primitivism) and live happily ever after". 😂

      This is literally cultish gibberish, like what the fuck does any of these points mean, how is he reimagining culture, how is he reimagining borders, how is any of what he is doing reimagining "digital citizenship & leadership" and what the fuck does that mean, and what do you fucking mean he is reimagining the idea of living on earth.
