Burgerpunk has been described as the aesthetic reconciliation of the post-modernist individual recognizing the cognitive dissonance between the vast nature of corporate service-based globalization and the individualist nature of consumption forced upon them by the very nature and propaganda of their capitalist benefactors. The genre's backdrop explores the conflict between traditional american sensibilities inflated to a caricature by exaggerated use of freeway systems, suburban growth, and franchise based food products against the cynical nature of the average american blooming into a genuine need for individualized and personalized culture after slowly exchanging their ancestor's cultural heritage for their own force-fed culture of ease of access and frugality. Issues of hopelessness, automation, and complacency contrast the information provided through constant access to media and propagandized geopolitical news. The genre itself, becoming a meta commentary on other fantasy or science fiction based genres by using the actual occurring landscape as the basis for escape.

You know my story. Probably had it told to you as a golden example of how you yourself ought to behave. Sobriety and french-fry-grease. Do it yourself Franchise. Then invest your capital. Then collect. I’m supposed to be an illustration of that? Don’t make me laugh.

Everyone gets a turn, and now it’s mine. Or so they used to tell us in Burger University. It’s not really true. Some get more turns than others, and I’ve never had a turn, not one!

You can wipe your feet on me, twist my motives around all you like, you can dump millstones on my head and drown me in the river, but you can’t get me out of the story. I’m the plot, babe, and don’t ever forget it.

Catch it. Put it in a pumpkin, in a high tower, in a compound, in a chamber, in a house, in a room. Quick, stick a leash on it, a lock, a chain, some pain, settle it down, so it can never get away from you again.

The next task is getting the plot out of the water. This can be difficult, as the plot will still be holding on tenaciously with the parts of itself that look like filler. You may need a chain-saw, a lot of rope, and a powerful motor on your boat. When you have at last managed to chop and pry the animal loose, tow it to shore, where you will have parked your smartcar.

The burger halls are empty now, the sanitation crews having swept and mopped and scrubbed and buffed the floors before applying the waxy shine we were advised to walk carefully upon as we toured the large atrium, walking in a single nimble queue that snaked around the lengthy tables, glistening, pooling aqueous cleaning solutions applied within the past hour or so, imbuing the burger hall with a pine-familial antiseptic aroma, surprisingly masking entire any trace of the pallets of potatoes fried in peanut oil from 10:55AM to last batch at 1:55, the timing for the French fries having been optimized at four minutes with a one minute resting period for the basket of steaming, grease-dripping potato fronds to be seated and locked into a chassis purpose built for that resting period, there being sophisticated internal parts, timers and pressure sensors I’m told, that enable the chassis to communicate the required minute’s exact 60-second timing to the burger hall’s processing unit, an ambient computational utility accessible to various burger machines, some drawing on the chopped lettuce inventory and others counting accumulated “ReO,” to the burger laeity red onions, or else tracking the dizzying and fluctuant volumes of shredded, swiss, American, pepperjack, cheddar and, yes, certainly, vegan cheeses, the quantities of condiments dwindling in prandial pulses and wooshing rushes, vent hoods, indecisive verbal fillers between epiphanies for bacon cheese burgers, chicken sandwiches with extra pickles, even burgers with nothing but cheese and certainly no onions for the dogs that we’re more than happy to serve, tracking their doggy cones with its own IPU, UPC, BCU and MAP files, enabling the burger computational systems to alert us immediately if we should be running low in one of our heated hoppers any patties, breasts, filets, double-stacks or croquetaz, when seasonal and logistically feasible, blinking a pleasing crimson and ruby bleat designed to be heard above the din of breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night rushes, ensuring our dedicated burger team members can split open another room temperature box of brilliantly engineered animal and vegetable protein amalgamated discuses, slap them upon the grill for a special “no pickles” or “halal” order or else collate them into a steam tray like coinage into a vault and send them into the 2200 watt double magnetron microwave, which used to send the whole burger hall into brown outs until corporate sprung for an impressive power station that drew from the natural gas grid and permitted a constant burger uptime during open hours and even helped a nearby children’s hospital whose infrastructure was caught up in lots of red tape.

I wasn’t one of the burger-crafting artisans, who we referred to as Subject Matter Experts, SMEs, pronounced in our organization parlance as “SMEEs” and often intoned with a great deal of respect, the burgermen and burgerwomen and burger-nonbinary being the whole reason we even had these curious jobs, entirely new organizational roles as of a few months prior. Those SMEs were why the burger computation system was invented and why we were touring at this late hour to plan the most ambitious upgrade imaginable, requiring the installation of a whole new set of storage and cooking technologies as well as the integrated inventory management and reporting capabilities.

Coming to the keypad and the biometric scanner, our line's leader, Linda, swiftly keyed in a highly secure combination into the numerical pad and then, lifting her left arm over her head, used her right hand to quickly lift up her blouse and brazier in one smooth motion, carefully liberating only the single tawny left breast before pressing the pecan areola onto the scanner, drawing out a purring fuzzy reddish light from the refracted and reflected scanner lasers bathing the smushed mammalia for but a full count of three seconds before a loud click unlocked the closet door, which Linda deftly and politely opened as she finished gracefully readjusting her attire, beckoning us to descend the brightly lit ivory staircase leading to what she deemed the "Burger Data Relay," itself the top-most level of a series of sub-basement floors that contained additional computational hardware, backups, fail-overs, parallel and parallax downtime contingency layers, power solutions, medical, judicial, hazmat tools and equipment, our visionary investors foreseeing the need for the burger hall to be much more than a food court, forecasting that in a few decades time there may be some impromptu court or junta hosted therein, or else it may be a refuge from sentient toxic slime or the hyper feral creatures affected by said slime, and this was why they sought to make it as a large communal hall with a single open eating area lined by we were told over one-hundred meters of burger-vending customer-facing retail space, on each side of the food court, permitting a breezy 500+ customer breakfast hour service and making the burger hall appear on the logistical visualizations of burger's corporate data gurus and ninjas as a highly lucrative pit that swallowed all fungible, edible inventories, turning any patty-shaped widget, nearly anything sufficiently saline and saccharine into cash, or more precisely, cash flow, which I'm told is a bit different, the mainstay of all this being that the burger hall has been a mindfully designed solution to economic and societal problems, representing a new age of corporate responsibility and stewardship.

Cyberpunk, steampunk, sandalpunk, biopunk, forthhaberbrook, nawkentucky. Genuine mass produced! Gotta have it all. You ever look between the lines of shopping carts at the mall? No, because they don't have carts. Why is that? How much more could you buy without having to carry it all. Bonanza isn't the wild west anymore.
Some days I think about my life I was going to have as a child grown. A wife, family, two cars. I had a start but she divorced me for a game develop in Austin. He was uglier, and fatter than me, but I guess he was new? She got really sick when we tried to put my baby in her. Like her unconscious finally spoke up, "What the hell do you think you're doing with this failure!" Never knew why she got sick, never knew why she got better, except that she moved away.
Work sucks tonight. Customers keep thinking they should talk to me. Just buy your cummins and dinkins and get out. Yeah, I remember you from yesterday on four years now but we aren't friends. Got a girl on discord I'd rather be texting.
She's got a kid and lives in South Africa though. Really just fooling myself. Probably wouldn't even get any when I got there. At least I could refuse the body scanners at the airport and somebody would touch me for a while. Get some of those tiny alcohol bottles on the plane, be nice to start a new collection. Yeah, I'd like that.

There was a window of time in which up to 50% of the writing was updates and occasional actual upgrades of a core story. Delete trolls were largely foiled by anons backing it up and reloading, but thereafter anons upgraded and began using Ctrl+F to introduce thorough programmes of despoilment delivered in installments. Since then the core content has been progressively degrading faster than the original authors could create it and as a result the direction has shifted to adding more and more addenda and other bullshit.

Anything from before Reagan's election shouldn't be considered burgerpunk, and part of burgerpunk should be the idealization and attempts to emulate the the 50s style "American Dream" during the Regan-era definitely is.

Works from that era whether they be supportive of the ideals of that time (Father Knows Best, The Andy Griffith Show, etc.) or critical of it (like the works of the Beats or the Hippies) are not burgerpunk. Grease and American Graffiti are proto-burgerpunk, but Rebel Without a Cause isn't.

Their consumption, while appearing at first to exist as a sine qua non of Burgerpunk, is in reality only representative of the post-Burgerpunk condition in its fullness. The Food Reviewer simulates the act of eating for the viewer, satisfying their needs as a ghost of consumption, consumption of consumption pushed into the digital era. In becoming the signpost of consumption for the meta-consumer, the Reviewer does not experience the eating themselves. Their stimulation rather comes from the exhibitionism of their media-information tycoon, and their addiction to eating subordinates to their need for hyperstimulation, a total exposure of consumer experience for the static crowd, whose stasis is preconditioned by the distance they inhabit from any mode of "real" consumption.

When their supervisor, a stocky German woman, arrived, they were set to work. For the first couple of hours they worked together, silently, sweeping up the restaurants, scrubbing the kitchen floor. At eleven, she began cleaning the rooms on the first floor. These were nearly all booths being used by senior McDonald's officials and McMilitary personnel.

"My sweet Lord!" she exclaimed. "Real burgers. Best food I've seen since you dragged me awake into this godforsaken place. I'll have a double cheese-and-chickenburger with all of the trimmings. But go easy on the relish. Brings me out in a rash."

Her husband stuffed himself with charbroiled beef steak paties and Nike fried potato laces, topping the whole thing off with a foaming beaker of ice-cold Orange-flavored milk substitute. He grinned happily across at his wife. "This is a triple-gross food-out, bitch."

"Who knows? All we know about the past is only a small bite out of what it must've been like. Anyway, I feel hungry. It's burger time."

He grinned. "Most times I fished for food I wasn't that great at it."

The idea was so ridiculous that it used to break them both up. In the marriage bed it was very fundamental. You worked and you got to eat. Unless you happened to be a powerful Burger baron, in which case you persuaded others to work for you, so that you got to eat. That was all there was. Work equaled food. You got the food so
you stopped working until you needed to eat again.

He confessed to a local eBanker with hippie sympathies, let him think I had been underground since my McCollege activist days, and had him set me up a BiteCoin Wallet. It's amazing what a man can do with a BiteCoin Wallet—the lies he can tell to get him a real life in a small high-rise.

Value will be fully extracted from the earth and from the consumer. When the planet no longer can provide the resources needed for burgers, ikea couches, or trading cards there will no longer be a product to deliver. On the flip side, the customer base will no longer be employed in the service industry, as automation takes over, leading to lower, or any at all, wages. Meaning they will no longer have the money themselves to purchase garfield shaped pizzas.The governments will be overwhelmed as the masses attempt to relocate after the seas rise and as they seek the dole, but the government will no longer have resources themselves to hand out, seeing as the corporations have all but removed themselves as taxable entities. The corporations jobs will be complete and will be dismantled, and the government will collapse for the opposite reason. Groups of strong or well equipped will start being hired out in exchange for the last burgers as local enforcement in an age of chaos for those left with remaining resources after collapse. It will be the age... of the burger kings.

all decent aesthetic concepts are manifestations of far older ideas. the only thing that separates burgerpunk from anything else happening now is the backlash against the cheap neon dogshit people are calling cyberpunk at this point. the currents have been flowing towards a new understanding of transreal science fiction for like 30 years now, ever since the literary cyberpunk scene fell apart and left the genre to Hollywood executives. If anyone were to write a classic based on this meditation it'd be looked at as old-school cyberpunk's philosophy from the perspective of a young American in the long tail of the subprime crash.

She had been screaming at him now for six minutes and twenty-one seconds. He had kept count by looking at the clock directly ahead of him. It was a sick joke that they had designed the front station to face the clock. They reminded every employee of the minutes wasted standing and serving.

The dark man in line behind her had kind eyes, and his daughter was too busy staring at the other children in line and the display for new toys to notice the screaming woman making a scene in the middle of the order area.

“I asked for extra pickles on both o’ these sandwiches and y’all gave me mustard instead! I demand-“

“Mam’ I distinctly remember you asking for must-“

“How dare you talk back to me the customer is always right. I want to talk to your manager you little shit! Who taught you how to treat your elders.”

The man in line held his mouth shut, but the employee could see the defeat in his face reflecting from the employee. He walked around back to the small managers office behind the grill line. The manager had his legs up and was on the phone.

“yeah, baby, I swear I’m at work, I was gonna call you-“

“Hey we got a lady complaining about-”

“Yeah, yeah, hold on. What?”

“There’s a lady… complaining about pickles.”

“Take care of it, can’t you see I’m busy? Hey babe, I swear-“

The employee walked back to the front counter. Suffering minor grease burns from the incompetent fry cook on shift who always forgets to scrape off the grease after cooking a batch of patties.

“ma’am the manager is busy at the moment, but I swear I can take care of any issue, and this one is not refundable. Next in line please.”

The man with kind eyes took a step forward and the screaming woman lurched over the counter and grabbed the employee, barely scrapping onto his nametag, ripping it off of his polo shirt.

“Now look you little shit,” she screamed over the counter, her belly flaps molding to it, “ you go back and get your manager, and I’m gonna have you fired, or you can get me sum’ them burgers but with extra pickles this time. Do your god damn job!”

The employee looked down at his shirt. He knew he was going to have to buy a replacement polo, and it was possible that this woman would refuse to return his nametag. That would be another ten dollars mark up for his uniform costs, which at that point, were already presumably high due to all the make up shifts he had to take over for the incompetent grill and prep staff. This had been his sixth double in a row. He had worked fourteen days straight. His manager refused to give him any off time, and he was the only one able to fill in for the huge swaths of absences that had been happening lately. He was done. The woman inhaled, preparing for another onslaught of southern charm.

"Look here you fat sack of shit. You ordered two burgers with mustard, two cups of water which I have seen you use for regular cola, and an extra-large French fry with extra salt. That was your order. It was totaled to 16.45. If you look here at this screen, you illiterate whore, it will show you that this was your order. I put it into the system. I remember struggling to listen to your words. And you’ve now been here for nearly eight minutes of everyone’s time flapping your giblets about seeking attention your ex husband or abusive stepfather never gave you. Now sit down. Eat your fucking second burger and go be a cunt to someone else.”

The sound in the restaurant had fallen deftly silent with only the sound of children playing in the ball pit in the distance clattering about. The manager had appeared right at the last spoken sentence.

“Ma’am, I dearly apologize about this. Here, let me get you a twenty-dollar gift card redeemable at all locations of Der Burger. Please.”

The woman hadn’t said a word, and the line didn’t move. The manager had printed out a receipt and grabbed a gift card from behind the table.

“Here you go ma’am, have a wonDERful day!” the manager turned to the employee.

“Kid, you’re fired.”

“Fuck off, you wouldn’t know leadership if it punched you in the face” The employee pulled his fist back and stopped. The manager flinched. He threw his hat on the table with a twirl and walked out.

“Y-yes, hello, Mr. Manager, can we get a number 2 and a kid’s meal?” said the man with the kind eyes.

That's what people think Punk is, but when you look closely you see that it's always been futile, and those involved know it's futile. That's why it's aggressive and loud and angry. It's not actually about changing anything, it's about expressing discontent while engaging in the very activity you despise out of despair for any salvation. It's self-indulgent nihilism, the mother of acceleration. Punk is nothing more than looking for a good time when you know time is running out.

Of course. Everyone desires tradition. Punk itself evolved out of the belief that Rock and Roll had lost its roots. But these are subcultures, and as much as people desire tradition, none of these subcultures actually return to the tradition. Even your list demonstrates clearly and accelerated evolution. What people actually crave is a slow and stable life; ironically, nothing drives consumption like novelty. And so here we are, where everything is new and changing, and yet it is all just a rehash of what came before, empty now and without substance or meaning. The only constant now is irony, so that each individual can be their own tragic hero.

[Anonymous No.13315650]

To “subvert”, or to destroy structure, is all this movement can do. This movement tries to larp as subversive, attacking the common aesthetic, or the classical form of prose; but this “attack” is superficial because of it’s imitation of what has already been done: it falls into the tropes of subversion that other movements have fallen into in the past, and as such this movement’s hidden resentment can be exposed. This movement is, at most, only subversive. In fact, even to say that much would be to lend the movement undeserved credence. This analysis of capitalistic systems is not subversive in the slightest.

The various reactions to the Vietnam war caused the further expansion of a growing type of character, the “hippy”: a resentful species with opinions counter to those that were most predicated in American culture at the time, with a new system morals predicated on those of Buddhist nihil. This libertarian group sparked the careers of various new artists and authors, who have been commonly referred to en masse as “the beats”, a slang term deriving from “the beat generation” coined by one of it’s main proponents, Jack Kerouac, while he was in an anti-conformist group in his youth. The adjective “Beat”, a term usually used to refer to the “beaten-down”, was not a term to be applied to this group of artists, but instead referred to the structure of art; how the structures behind art have become ”beaten-down”. The beat generation, therefore, is a counter-culture postmodern movement that is structured itself by not having a structure; by resenting all structures of the past.

Here we arrive at William Burroughs, the man whose work can be best used to demonstrate the image of the “Beat Generation”. While Burroughs ultimately had a great deal of influence in killing arts such as painting, poetry, and sculpting, through incorporating the postmodernist dadaist perspective into many of his structureless pieces, he was most influential for his 1959 novel, “Naked Lunch”, described by the aforementioned Jack Kerauoc as “a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork”. Burroughs displayed a world in which the cultural themes of hedonism, repetition, addiction, accumulation, and routine were taken to their absolute zenith. While, from a distance, it seemed that Burroughs himself upheld this zenith as a desired endpoint, calling and wishing for this extension of current culture, from a closer perspective it was apparent that Burroughs was making a case against these values that “were on the end of every fork”. By extending and extremifying the values held by the culture he was reacting to, he was denigrading this culture while making it appear otherwise through the maraude of postmodernism.

In this so-called “burgerpunk”, we arrive again in a Burroughs-esque movement that claims to be original; to subvert expectations by displaying a narrative of extreme consumerism and hedonism; by displaying a narrative based on the power of the corporation under capitalism, claiming to uphold these movements by displaying them as intensely as possible; as saturated as possible. Yet, what do we find? That this movement is deceitful: that it denigrates what it upholds by intensifying it. It is not making an argument for its cause, it is making a radical and ridiculous argument for what is being argued against, to instill that what is being argued against is ridiculous in and of itself. They are the movements of the strawman.

These movements of the strawman denigrate all structure, because they themselves don’t want to be structured. Their movements are created not out of progression, but out of the absence of progression: laziness. So, when you truly subvert the structure of their stories by destroying the structure of the absence of structure, you get attacked by bourgeoise city intellectuals crying that their “structure” (that which they seemed to hate oh-so-much) has been truly subverted. Enter, the hipster (or, as I like to refer to them, the faggots who would make this shitty movement).


You have revived the horror with your superficial pursuit of subversion, you have zombified burgerpunk.

Nothing more to say, burgerpunk is dead, but considering the state the species man is in, there will perhaps be caves, for ages yet, in which its shadow will be shown. In fact, burgerpunk’s essence is contained in it’s shadow, and has been created just to create that very shadow. Do not be fooled.

Your entire argument presupposes that subversion is the goal, and yet most that aren't blatant shitposters seem to see it more as an aggressive embrace of the aesthetic and life lived by modern Americans. A fixation on cyberpunk tendencies, placed in the reality of what that genre proposed. We are living the time they predicted, but only parts of it came true, the most disappointing parts. You seem to think it is an exaggeration, but this leads me to believe that you have never truly experienced the world in it's worst.

You use the same trite analysis of post modernism and famous names without giving any credit to what has actually been written in these threads. While it may take inspiration from the old, as anything does, you seem to believe that it is cohesive in it's execution, as if one person's interpretation of burgerpunk is the same across all posters. It is only in hindsight of a movement that you can segregate and box in ideas this way.

No, my argument isn't predicated on the fact that "subversion is the goal". It is predicated on the fact that " It is not making an argument for its cause, it is making a radical and ridiculous argument for what is being argued against, to instill that what is being argued against is ridiculous in and of itself". I connect this method of argumentation to that of Burroughs and the beats.
You would've known that if you read past the first paragraph.
Plus, everything you said proves I'm right. Let me show you:

You, first, claim that burgerpunk is
>an aggressive embrace of the aesthetic and life lived by modern Americans
then in the same paragraph state that
>You seem to think it is an exaggeration
as if that is an incorrect perspective, even though you hold the same perspective. An exaggeration IS the agressive embrace of something, idiot.

This affirms my point that it "it is making a radical and ridiculous argument", and that you, too, agree with it.

Next, you claim that I
>have never truly experienced the world in it's worst
and state that:
>but only parts [cyberpunk] came true, the most disappointing parts
Denigrating the current culture, I see? This seems to be exactly what I proposed! This "aesthetic" that you are "aggressively embracing", when realized even partially in reality, is what you claim is the "world in it's worse". And of course you would, because burger punk is a resentful reaction to those very things you hate.

This affirms my point that it "it is making an argument for what is being argued against, to instill that what is being argued against is ridiculous in and of itself", and that you, too, agree with it.

Finally, you say:
>It is only in hindsight of a movement that you can segregate and box in ideas this way
which is completely arbitrary, because this movement has a philosophy behind it, as did cyberpunk.

Things being interpretable doesn't mean nothing is wrong, it means nothing is entirely right, we can only make systems that approach truth. This movement is not truthful.

even though he used such an aesthetic when he replied to me, and told me I should "give the writing more credit", and demonstrated all tropes of a proponent of such a cause that I had already outlined.
>Regardless there are clearly others fyi these threads who view BP as a desirable state or shall we say, comfy.
I am clearly speaking of the philosophy behind such a movement. What you are doing is equivalent to saying "you can't attack us for our beliefs because some nice people like our uniform".
>Even leaving that aside, having no structure is no secret plot if you name yourself "post - structuralist" and use the method of "deconstruction". So even your main point is no sharp wit.
that isn't my main point and you've completely misunderstood me. As I've already said THREE TIMES NOW, my main point is that burgerpunk "is not making an argument for its cause, it is making a radical and ridiculous argument for what is being argued against, to instill that what is being argued against is ridiculous in and of itself".

70/30 ground beef with seasoning. Bulk onions, diced tomatoes. Dehydrated refried bean mix. 45 count flour tortillas, 12 inches. Each ingredient incurs a minimum allocation of labor hours, an expected degree of incidental wastage. A system of colored dots indicates the length of time each has spent on the hot line and on the cold line, such that seeing a blue dot in the evening or a red dot in the morning suggests a task list to the employee. The distant sounds of 80s-90s radio hits extend about eight feet into the kitchen, and then give way to the chatter of ladels and frier alarms, and the urgent clamour of non-slip soles on a tile floor engineered to encourage memories of terracotta pavers at the slimmest margin possible. Enrique thought about the empire he had, night shift manager at the Union avenue Taco Bell, stretching from the office in the back to the front of the register counter at the front. A militant nation built on the bloody backs of his ancestors. The names of every menu item (tostada, crunchy taco, mexican pizza, enchirito) mocked them from across the numerous generations. He held his hand on the nacho cheese pump and stared at the screen of the point of sale system.

The plan is that he goes home to his roommate, his car breaks down, his parents 401k was destroyed so they can’t pay rent, his student loans from his unfinished college experience are due, and now he’s jobless and about to be homeless. He then goes and tries to get another job, a sequence of terrible interviews and exploration of other stores, where he either works for a day or doesn’t get the job. He finally lands a job somewhere where there’s a girl. While on the bus he meets a homeless man organizing a bio terrorist organization, seeking to rid the region of corporate reach. As he learns his new job he leads a second life ruining shipments which eventually leads to him poisoning his own stores burger patties/pizza or whatever he actually works at, killing the old man who owns the chain location. The girl turns out to be his daughter, and decides to go to college or something now that her dad is dead. He finally realizes what he’s doing isn’t helping destroy corporate, it’s only destroying the locals. He then learns his lesson of hating authority by using traditional authoritative channels and blackmailing corporate to get rid of the resistance by becoming a government informant, contacting communications corporations to shut down their telecommunications, giving the cops probable cause for search warrants, etc. with the money extorted he’s able to save the girl/daughter of old man’s store, allowing them to start a new local burger joint.

no, if anything it falls lose to accelerayionism. I can't remember who, but someone has a lecture on jewtube about accelerationism and capitalism where he compares neoliberalism to a genie, it gave the hippies what they wanted to the letter but not to the intent: no menial labor but it was outsourced to the 3rd world, an end to office drones but now you have to think outside of the box in order not to be fired, fairly cheap sustainance but it's unhealthy, etc. burgerpunk gives you what you ask for but now what you want, it twists the wording of your demands to make the bargain favorable to it instead of you. the traditional dining experience was originally a meal cooked by the housewife at home, but since so many people were eating out, it was redefined as restaurants and given to you as a cheap price - as long as you only consider the basic options, once you look for deals you buy more than you would have bought otherwise because deals are excess consumerism disguised as thrift.

I've been thinking about writing a novel based on this idea called I'm calling lib-punk, where you're mimicking cyberpunk tropes and how it portrays alienation and atomisation, but it fully incorporates the forced twee facade and garish infantalization of modern capitalism.

The best single concept I've come up with to describe it is some people can't afford cybernetic limbs at full price, so they let companies subsidize it. This means McDonalds get to act like they're doing a charitable act, but they also stipulated that yourbionic arm is covered in red, non threathening plates of coarse plastic, emblazoned with the McDonalds logo. So everywhere they go you remind people of the good McDonald's does for the community, while also generally increasing brand awareness.

The closest thing I've encountered to it is the movie Sorry to Bother You, and you also see strong elements of it in normal csyberpunk, but it would really be committed to a pervasive sense that this world of abysmal living standards won't even allow anything to be cool or grungy or dignified in its misery. Even hardened criminals who are trying to spurn the system can't enter a convenience store to rob it without passing through a door that only opens if you strike a "fun" pose and say some products tagline to a camera. The company immediately has the right to use this in advertising in perpetuity.

One of the most popular jobs is to watch adds in a packed office building a 9 to 5(i.e. 9 to 9), but to make any real money you have to watch them at 50 times speed. This means on your first day on this job you have to have mods installed in your brain to make that processing speed possible. The mods remain in your brain but shut down after word hours. Your pay is docked 25 percent until you've paid back what the mods cost.

What the fuck happened to Harry.

[Anonymous No.13323417]

>>13323359


Harry watched as he dexterously rolled each slice into a cigar-shaped tube for easier nibbling. She had stopped offering lemon, fresh ground black pepper, buttered brown bread or any other refinement; he wasn't interested. The first time he had stared at these offerings with blank incomprehensions; the second time, he had laughed aloud. But it was all of a piece; at mealtimes, he was almost childlike in his avoidance of vegetables— especially the leafy green ones. They had to be liberally dredged in gravy before he would touch them. And he seemed to have forgotten all his table manners; he was re-learning them, but with an air of doing it just to please himself.

It was a clever, lucrative swindle that flourished for years on end. They promised to lead people to the entrance of McDonald's where they could then meet their dead relatives and friends.

Looking back through these diaries, I see that it was August 13, 2018 - another McDonald's -- that my predecessor used this gun to splatter his brains across the plate-glass window opposite this desk, like some mad expressionist splashing housepaints across a giant canvas. I've never much liked McDonald's, either, actually.

I wonder how the barrel of this gun would feel pressed against my temple? A cold circle of death . . . an icy kiss . . . ?

Damn, his gut hurt. Was it his guilt talking or the illness? Or were they now hopelessly intertwined? Harry wondered if it was lust or political instinct.
