Gary Oldman, both Commissioner Gordon from Nolan Batman trilogy, and Ignitus and Lord Shen from Legend of Spyro and Kung Fu Panda respectively.

Celebrities being good voice actors ain't a new thing, and it's awesome.
Americans, will someday realise that their state, is just there to protect the interests and well being of exploitative corporations, and the true terrorism is exacted by this system, not those who somehow try to make a dent on it You could find old Time magazine covers, featuring Osama Bin Laden, talking about his ''struggle for freedom'' against communism, Isis, formed as a direct result of American policies in Iraq and Syria Even Hamas, used to be supported by both Israel and USA against Palestinian Lİberation Army(Not that those guys were any better) Modern state, is there not for citizens' values and well being, it is there to protect the system of corporate hegemony. THat's why they bail out even the most criminal banks and corps, that's why they start wars in half a world away, unrelated to any of American citizens' interests, that's why they care more about big tech companies' future, than their own citizens' health and safety.

The terrifying thing is that the "big line go up" method of thinking is hardly endemic to corporations. Governments play that game far more often than I think people are willing to comfortably admit, even without any form of corporate cronyism.
"bigger number good" is the driving force behind the last 300 years of industrial capitalist war and pain across the world. you have the beginnings of an understanding of why the world is the way it is, which is good, but you fail to see that that's whats been driving the system the entire time. the only thing that's changed is the scope, where once capitalism could thrive by preying on resources from other cultures and third world imperialism, now the whole world is industrialized, everyone's playing the game. it was always gonna get to this point and thats why capitalism is the recipe for the entropy johnny talks about. capitalism IS greed. and as the other commenter pointed out, the governments of the world are just as much at fault for their hand in upholding the system, and oftentimes are directly complicit as our politicians are bought out either publicly via lobbying or privately via corruption.
He says it's not because capitalism is a thorn in his side...but he's either lying to himself or to you. Capitalism IS a thorn in his side. Capitalism is what birthed megacorps and led us to this point. That's not up for debate, that's what happened. Cyberpunk as a genre is fundamentally anti-capitalist and mocks capitalism nearly every chance it gets. The Cyberpunk genre, Mike Pondsmith and Johnny Silverhand all warned us.
I imagine he says this as an implicit way of saying "not like i'm a communist or anything like that", but I imagine, at the same time, that Johnny, like many today, say that precisely because they don't know what communism is or what it is about. They think of that word and imagine the caricature, popularized on the common sense today, of what communism is. That means Johnny thinks and acts like a communist/anarchist without ever having contact with one. He and many more keep gravitating against the capitalist system, not because they were convinced by political speeches, but because the system works like a human meat grinder every day, consuming Johnny and others like him, and yet, trying to make them accept this fate willingly. Even if names like Marx, Bakunin, Che and others alike could somehow have long been forgoten in the cyberpunk world, history will keep prducing new Marxs and new Bakunins, new rebels, revolutionaries, dissidents, terrorists. They are the cristalization of the agony suffered by the people, they are the teeth of the working class constantly trying to bite back, and one day, those teeth will inevitably sink deep into the heart of their opressors.
@@thundertress6273 The moment you said people like Johnny don't know what communism is, I stopped reading. Your claim simply isn't true at all. He doesn't just act like an anarchist, he IS one. He's anti-fascist, communist and anarchist all wrapped in one rockerboy package. He's the real deal. He's not subtle about it, it's very easy to see. He's most concerned with when people lose themselves to a corporation, when they don't recognize themselves, when you lose your mind and humanity.
I think this is a misapplication. Capitalism is economics in nature, while something like communism is politics. Cyberpunk is more about the excesses, and the overuse of technology damages the human spirit. It's more of a pondering question of ethics and morality.
@@ManontheHill2099 That's not true at all. Capitalism and communism are both economic systems. It's not "nature". Capitalism is hierarchical by design. Communism is moneyless, stateless and classless. Capitalism may have a liberal market, a laissez faire market, a mixed market, etc. Cyberpunk as a genre is a direct criticism of laissez faire capitalism and authoritarian governments. Cyberpunk shows what happens when these two forces work together (mostly). The rich & powerful profit at the expense of everyone else. Cyberpunk does indeed touch on ethics and morality but also economics and social values. Cyberpunk was (mostly) borne out of the 1980s, a time when inequality started to skyrocket.
@ThunderTheBlackShadowKitty Respectfully, I disagree. Communism is political in nature that seeks to forcibly direct the market and all of society while capitalism is simply a method of a market (Though I digress, that is a different rabbit hole and I want to be concise) The exploitation via big corporations and lazefaire, as you brought up is more a symptom and not the cause of what is a profoundly spiritual dilemma. The inequality you bring is always going to be around, that's part of the human experience, the question is, how should one conduct themselves and ( as it relates to cyberpunk as a genre) how does the overreliance and application of this technology affect humanity. Thank you for the quick reply, by the way. Conversations like this are refreshing.
Playing Cyberpunk turned me into a fill blown anarchist. I used to be moderately right wing, but after that Johnny speech, I genuinely hated every single aspect of our corrupt real world society and governments.

Capitalist or not, we can all agree the "bigger number good" cause of corporate greed is something of which it's a moral obligation to hate on

@@strykertron232 Oh of course, that's another hugeee issue. It's just the topic of this is corporate greed, but government greed is another extreme.

Johnny is right.
“To this.”
What kind of stupid toast is this?
He just like me fr
Literally me
Same. Literally the only reason I’m “sane” because I have too much to lose tbh
Thanks for clipping it!
You’re welcome!
if i gotta become jhonny, i'll do it
and if gotta take the bushito with me then im fucking taking it
What if the citizens took matter in there own hands like johnny did ?
its all he would have wanted
if only there was a movement, a set of beliefs that proclaimed the people's rule over their capitalist overlords, if only....
It's hard to snap into righteous anger on an empty stomach.
