Yeah. Tim Walz mentioned that in the debate.
Mmm... Chicken nugget.
I like how there are perfect cutouts for the eyeballs.
Valid argument
75% chance he's secretly attracted to black women, but thinks it's wrong for some reason, so he lashes out at them.
We've seen this scenario play out a few too many times.

Lack of hair makes it more realistic. Hair has always been difficult to recreate in art.
Notice how there are no eyebrows or eyelashes either.
Under that logic, rent would be theft as well, correct?
Paying taxes is akin to paying rent for living in a certain location, just like paying a landlord.
"I'm not gay and I hate gay people because they're so ho-I mean because they're so bad and stuff."
A week later: "I got caught being gay."
Until we get all human basics guaranteed to everyone (housing, food, healthcare, water, internet, sewage, trash, electricity, heating and cooling depending on location, etc.) along with a UBI and all large corporations being converted into worker-owned coops, then people will continue to have the "freedom" to live in poverty and/or be subjugated to subpar working conditions.
Or in other words, make it so having a job is optional if those people don't mind living with the bare minimum essentials, and for those who do choose to work for extra, their jobs will have fair working conditions and fair compensation, as the company will be run democraticly. Imagine being able to elect and fire your managers.
And it's not like the US can't pay for it. Even ignoring Modern Monetary Theory (which absolutely applies), we could easilly stop giving tax breaks to the rich, close tax loopholes that the wealthy take advantage of, cut the extremely overinflated military budget, nationalize Big Pharma and hospitals as part of a push towards national healthcare (which would eliminate price gouging for pharmaceuticals and hospital visits for the government's single payer insurance), and stop giving bailouts to Wall St. and corporations every time they fuck up. This would give the US enough money to pay for any damn social services it wants to.
Also ban all private money from politics, change the voting system to something that is more representative, eliminate gerrymandering and the electoral college, etc.
I wish, but he's too rich for that to be possible. Too much plausible deniability.

The entire reason the cyberpunk genre was invented was to reflect what modern society looks like, and the inevitable outcome if technology improves, but government policy and power dynamics stayed the same.
The counter genres to cyberpunk are solarpunk (merging society and nature together) and sci-fi (Star Trek being the main example here, being a socialist, post-scarcity society)
