This is what happens when you let white people read Atlas Shrugged in college. smh.
Ah, corporate run cities?
“It’s a fine day, full of opportunity!”
“If it took more than one shot, you weren’t using a jakobs.“
“Hyperion would like to take this opportunity to say: cha-ching!”
“Anyone can live. Have the courage to die!”
“Just remember, you died doing what you loved! And what you were told to do!"
Friendly reminder that company towns and company scrips are the industrial revolution’s take on micro transactions.
Well put
This reads like an email or news message you find on random computers in dystopian computer games like Deus Ex or Cyberpunk 2077.
Ah, so Peter Thiel’s crazy ass ideas are spreading. This is the same shit Musks’ granddad dreamed of - a technocracy with governors…
Technocracy
noun
the government or control of society or industry by an elite of technical experts.
No mate, this is plutocracy. Technocracy implies knowledge, expertise, and facts dictating policy and direction. What you have is greedy rich fucks wanting yet more.
There is a fundamental difference.
This is why he bought Vance…
guns
He really is going to kill us all. His plan is to eventually kill social security or something that will piss off his opposition.
His opposition will take to the streets and cops will be there. Anyone who kills a cop gets put to death. Martial law declared.
Then he’ll take true power.
And religious people will eat it up as destiny because their books speak of an end similar to this. It almost seems too perfectly planned.
We’re so fucked.
if i were trying to stop that scenario, i’d probably form/join a guerilla resistance, neutralize the cops, dethrone him and musk, then round up all the christians for reeducation camps and help ensure a ‘never again’ attitude for the surviving population.
yeah, but no ones fucking organizing anything right now.
Thats not entirely true.
We have this but it needs to quicken with sign ups.
done!
You want Night City? This is how you get Night City…
These people idolize Henry Ford, so they should double check the history on how he tried and failed spectacularly at the same thing: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/aug/19/lost-cities-10-fordlandia-failure-henry-ford-amazon
Good luck with that
It will be awful enough that no one will want it. “Hey, come and be a slave, please?”
Also theseassholes are not only assholes, they’re all really dumb too and any previous attempts they made ended hilariously bad. I’m not too worried about this
Ancapistan
And you’ll be paid in such lovely scrip, too. Just don’t try using it somewhere else.
Hence, crypto.
We should finally eat the disgusting rich.
Every day I watch the news or look at Lemmy or talk to a friend and I hear some horrible new way of creating a distopia I had never considered. It’s depressing.
