Call yurodivye the yuridivye and make sonya book accurate (aka a girl)

Yurodivye and Technology Liberation Alliance have the potential to do a socialist-anarchoprimitivist team up that falls apart disastrously and I will be mad if this doesn't eventually become a plot point

People have already said this plenty but like

It would be fucking INSANE that when Rodion gets an ID that shows her in a world where she went with Sonya, the ID in question is just straight up doing better than all of her other IDs.

Like. Even our LCB Rodion would be confirmed to be stagnating in comparison.

Imagine that.

I mean this sorta thing probably won't come about for... jesus, like another five years, but like.

I acknowledge I could be misreading the entire thing but imagine.

An ID where she's not stagnating, or lost in life, and its her making the choice to do a massive thing that she really was rather apprehensive about.

Also the Yurodivye are quite interesting in how they stand in stark contrast to what The City expects from people.

Like sure I am not expecting their writing to be entirely solid and sort of expect for the leftist messaging to be muddled in some ways but overall? The Yurodivye are quite special...

Like. Many people try to join for selfish reasons, because Syndicates typically work like that. Like look at the Five Fingers.

Look at their subsidiaries as well. The Kurokumo Clan boasts and asserts their strength plenty, and mostly have their work involve extortions, territory seizures, and whatever have you, while still feeling distinctly indulgent. They're represented by Lust for a reason in Limbus. They want to spread their influence, but also I imagine in their case, Lust actually probably goes into the carnal territory. I just interpret it that way, but I imagine that the entire thing with "Bathhouses" and how their members dress is just dripping in innuendo to me.

However, the Yurodivye has seen how dire the situation is for everyone, and their main goal? Instead of people joining syndicates to only better themselves, they are working to try and push towards a better world.

Something that many people are interested in.

Hell, look at the T. Corp director. I bet they are desperate for something to change, especially since social inequality is at its strongest, and most cruel in T. Corp.

Really there are just tons of interesting things here and I simply must speak my mind on it.

Alright, something I love about Project Moon's City is that in most of the different districts the Wing in charge literally attempts to control everything to the point of controlling culture, K corp keeps up their clean and corporate look that is distinctly modern though in a sort of off and too clean way, N corp is famous for it's alabaster cities, U corp of course has their cities that seemed to be formed by the Unification singularity from a bunch of different floating stuff, but T corp takes the cake. T corp is literally using their singularity to control how everything looks keeping everything in greyscale and charging people if they want something else. It's not just a literal show of their control over the city, but of the pollution that they inflict on the city through their profit seeking actions. This goes even further with them controlling how many hours people have in a day with insincere platitudes about how humane they are for allowing people four hour days even when the time that they grant isn't enough for people to find fulfillment in, and is litteraly cutting into their profits over time because the workers do less. But to them the control it offers is still worth it. From there people are then able to use money in order to express themself through color or by having more time to do whatever. It's a perfect way of showing how the corporation attempts to control everything, and also how it corrupts society through it's efforts framing the 'culture' that they create not just as something that kind of bows to the corporation but as something that is predatory both in how it bows to the corporation, but also for many people buying into it simply makes them look like a target. But it still offers an alternative in the Yurodivye. The Yurodivye aren't wearing the silvery grey that the Yurodivye of the other districts that we've seen wear, but they still look like Yurodivye. Because of their choice of patterns and designs that make them both look not like something corporate but also like the Yurodivye in a way that is uniquely T corp repurposing the fashion of the area in a form that makes them both look like members of District 21 but not in a way that makes them look T-corp. They are litteraly rejecting corporate culture and creating their own in the area. And that is in itself still revolutionary against the system.
