Can you try that in English? It doesn’t make any sense at all.

It makes sense bud, comprehension seems to be a you issue.

The joke here revolves around the irony and contradiction in the situation described. The character named “Neuromancer” refers to William Gibson’s novel “Neuromancer,” which is a foundational work in the cyberpunk genre. Cyberpunk fiction often explores themes of advanced technology and cybernetics, set against a backdrop of dystopian futures dominated by large corporations and the decay of society—essentially, highlighting the negative aspects and potential downfall of unchecked capitalism and technological advancement.
The irony comes from someone named after a genre that critiques capitalism (cyberpunk, through the book “Neuromancer”) posting something that seems oblivious to or in conflict with those critiques. The joke suggests that it’s ironic and somewhat foolish for someone who has chosen a name symbolizing critique of capitalism to then engage in behavior that seems uncritical of, or even complicit in, the flaws of capitalism that cyberpunk literature aims to highlight.
The phrase “like being hit in the face and still not getting the message” amplifies this irony. It’s a metaphor for being directly confronted with the consequences or criticisms of something (in this case, capitalism’s negative aspects as explored in cyberpunk literature) but still failing to understand or acknowledge them.

What crime has Trump been convicted of?
PeepinGoodArgs@reddthat.com 7 months ago
By conservative logic as applied to Democrats, merely asserting something makes it true. So Biden is guilty of “dereliction of duty” because he’s “ignoring” the border, of “treason” because of his unproved involvement in his son’s foreign business deals, or most relevantly, is guilty of commandeering classified documents despite not being charged for anything.
So, merely applying conservative logic to conservatives, which is only fair, would mean that Trump is a criminal given his eighty-eight indictments, many of which are federal charges.

He has a half billion dollar judgment against him for crimes he’s been convicted of.

Since you like wordplay, Trump said law and order yet he broke the law and was convicted of it. Civil laws are still laws.

Just coming back to this. In addition to the multiple times his organizations have been found guilty for fraud, in addition to being found liable for rape, he has been convinced by a jury of his peers on 34 distinct felonies. He is a felon.
