Another thing about #Cyberpunk2077. It seems that the primary (only?) form of oppression is class-based.
My understanding of state oppression is that that the state needs to divide the people as many ways as possible so they don't unite. So they encourage hatred of ethnic groups, of trans people, of migrants, of women. You don't see a ton of that kind of division in Night City.
