Corporate dystopia, total government control over privacy and autonomy, climate crises, mandatory state-issued ID required to access a highly-restricted internet, 'subscription plans' infecting nearly every industry to destroy the concept of individual private ownership, personal finances with 'expiry dates' via the use of CBDC's and subversive savings taxes...
Yeah, I'll take the 1960's, thanks. The future is bleak. I don't intend to live long if freedom, privacy, and individualism are the first liberties on the chopping block, which worryingly seems to be the case.
