Renton 23616 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I haven't read but I know people who have who say it is EXACTLY like the start of that book. Iirc from the series at least in that Universe Canada was a safe haven, now it's looking like it will be annexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any other description on what Musk has done other than it being a coup. And some people still think there will be fair elections in 4 years time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7620 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 We are barreling towards the storyline of this movie tbh. Trump potentially setting up a PIF to buy TikTok so that he will have Musk/Zuckerberg and all of the major social media platforms behind him. Proper state controlled Russia/North Korea shit.

Stotty 65 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 We’ll see. it’s hard to argue that the US government is a noble and conscientious user of tax dollars which is why a good chunk of people voted for Trump. clearly it could all go very tits up though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they also pay up to 20% of their income on healthcare. Which do you think is more wasteful? Cos one of them is going to get a lot more expensive.

Renton 23616 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 It's about to become more so. The CDC is being purged. If/when the next pandemic hits they are utterly fucked. Unfortunately, we need the US for innovation and they are/were a major contributor to the WHO. Don't think its being hyperbolic to say Trump and Musk have condemned millions to premature death.

Renton 23616 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I used to really admire the US for being a secular country, nominally at least but it used to be true for its government, Who is Paula White you ask? She's not insane, honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what about the whole separation of church and state thing? In the US under Trump: Trump = Executive = State = Church = Judiciary = Media. An oligarchic theocratic dictatorship. I mean, Trump regards these nutters as useful idiots and is rewarding them. But it's actually increasingly looking like the Handmaid's tale to me. That and "years and years" look increasingly prophetic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
