What is the difference between mind and soul? And where does one end and the other begin? They are the same, I think.

>Now the entire alt-right is realizing, in full view of a few million popcorn-munching online leftists, that they were never the new punk.

Meanwhile we're metaphorical Mad Max lunatics-turned-cyberpunks who're changing the course of history whilst the Left languishes.

Schway, brothers.

Vaporwave/Punkesque future in which all of humanity lives within hyper-technological/capitalist megacities. Somewhat reminiscent of Judge Dredd, but way more laissez-faire and without the excessive violence/authoritarianism. The tagline of the idea is something to the effect of:

>No where is home, the language is money

Bright lights, skyscrapers. Each megacity is like a hybrid of Tokyo and New York, but namely the former. The story follows a guy who is trying to get by — his role is akin to Nick Carraway in The Great Gatsby, a sort of omnipresent window/narrator through which we discover what lies beneath this high-tech veneer. Depravity, heartlessness, and a general sort of bohemian-libertine malaise that has infected everyone, breeding apathy.

As the story progresses, he'll get caught up in the pursuit of a notorious coquette. She'll lead him on to various nightclubs/etc, eventually convincing him of the fact that the predominant lifestyle/mentality in this apparent dystopia — such as her own — are actually enjoyed and actively desired by those who have them. It will probably end with him standing at a crossroads — wondering if it is worth resisting the aforementioned existence, and possibly giving in.

Possible/likely scenes would include him entering a well-known club her — watching from the sidelines as she steals the limelight and captures the attention of all, like some sort of prophet. She'd end up hijacking the DJ decks, throwing pocketfuls of pills into the crowds and so on. Some of them inevitably turn out to be tainted/cut, but rather than end the party, the bouncers and those present simply push those to overdose/etc to the sidelines/corners of the club, ignoring them as they convulse/foam at the mouth/etc. Moreover, they simply don't care - some of the bodies, whether dead or alive, trampled underfoot/etc as the club gets busier and livelier. Screams drowned out by cheers. This would constitute a typical night out.
