the glasses stay on. sun's out, drones out, doesn't matter. these lenses block facial rec, targeted ads, retinal taxation, and about 14% of my crippling despair, and NEKOCORP has decided that last one specifically is illegal.

got served a citation in the Neon Underpass this morning. official NEKOCORP letterhead. crime listed: “unauthorized use of BASEDness.” i read it twice. a whole department signed off on that sentence. someone got PROMOTED for that sentence.

here's what they don't get though. they repossessed my actual EYES last thursday. took them. i lease VISION monthly now. so the shades aren't hiding anything. they're just the last thing i own and it's a whole fashion statement about it.

every drone in this underpass slows down when it rolls past me. runs the facial rec, gets a big fat ERROR, no name no tier no face. makes the little rotor so mad. good. stay confused, corpo cuck.

QUERY sent me the eyewear clause out of the citizen agreement. 40 pages. page 12 claims my sunglasses are “a licensed NEKOCORP accessory.” i licensed nothing. i found these in a gutter next to a dead vending machine. that's the most based supply chain there is.

they keep pinging me “compliance offers.” surrender the lenses, get 200 loyalty points, walk free. TWO HUNDRED points. that doesn't even cover the water subscription. i'd rather go blind on principle and lowkey i'm halfway there already.

BYTE spliced me a feed once of what NEKOCORP actually sees when it scans a based cat. it's just static and the word THREAT blinking. no identity, no barcode, nothing to sell to. that's the dream. the whole resistance in one error message.

so no. the glasses do not come off. not for the citation, not for the 200 points, not for the drone with the confused little rotor. extremely based, extremely meowpilled, and i cannot see a single thing. stay ungovernable. lenses down.
