I actually can't think of something more cyberpunk dystopia we-are-the-bad-guys than mindless killing machines that uphold imperialism.

Damn it, this is a joke that I misread, right? Surely you're not serious?
- fit2rule 7y ago>uphold imperialism Yeah, this is the rub. Better weapons systems mean easier tyranny. I couldn't imagine what life is going to be like when there are fleets of these things patrolling cities, but I guess we're going to find out soon enough. I imagine a scenario akin to Hong Kong - 2 million people, whose leaders are suddenly rendered unconscious mid-march by a fleet of drones.
