The biggest problem with making up shit about the US is that whatever you could make up, they’ve probably done worse.
They actually run into this when making propaganda about their enemies actually, the things they accuse other nations of are often not nearly as bad as stuff that happens in the US.
yeah that or it’s exactly what the US is doing, which is pretty much all of the state media “news”
Which is why they invented that fuckin “whataboutism” term. Oh you want to point out how something US is accusing others of is something they actually have done and worse? WHADDAABOOOOTEEEEEESM
Starbucks is already available at all US military camps. There is a McDonalds and Starbucks on board all mainline US aircraft carriers.
A Subway, Pizza Hut, McDonald, and Starbucks are all very common for a US army base anywhere in the world.
Guantánamo Bay McDonald’s
Truly the most insulting act of colonization is to build a McDonald’s on stolen land in a country that otherwise has none.
A suscription based model for kitchen appliances like a microwave. Many people technically already do by buying it with a credit card in a 12 month payment or smt but i think we are very close to a future where these appliances are ‘free’ but cost a monthly suscription forever and a chip makes it so it doesnt work if it isn’t connected to the internet and with a paid suscription. I think we are very close to moving to that sort of business model unfortunely.
I saw some “Smart Oven” kitchen thing that you insert meal kits into and it spits out finished meals. It required a companion subscription to get the meal kits that you put into it. I didn’t look too far into it to see if it was possible to use the thing without the subscription, it seemed like not.
Amazon now agrees to pay a million dollar fine every month for its labor violations of paying workers exclusively in its own crypto currency. This agreement has been very profitable.
…its labor violations of paying workers exclusively in its own crypto currency.
Hold up! What!? They do that?
Let me add to this falsehood:
The crypto wallets that bezos gives the employees are suspiciously insecure. These wallets sometimes “accidentally” transfer funds back to the employer not authorized by the employee. The crypto bro CEO of Amazon insists that the employees take personal responsibility for their crypto wallets. It is noted that wallets for Amazon coin don’t have this issue if the wallets are not issued to employees. Employees are expected to “get gud” and secure their own crypto wallets by buying a better crypto wallet from Amazon in Dollars. Employees are incentivized to hype up this crypto currency in order to make their pay go up.
Let me add to this falsehood
Oh, right, I forgot this was the make up a dystopia thread. I could easily see it getting to that point, though.
Sooo a fresh reskin of the company stores?
Why would I make up dystopian stuff, when I can just open the news
An oligarch buys a massive social media app, fucking it up horrendously, then decides to change the name to a single letter be ause he is the cringiest fuck to ever exist who thinks he’s like the real love version of Tony Stark mixed with Neo from the Matrix…
Oh…
Wait…
What if there was a cyclic cataclysm every few hundred years and only the learned capitalist elite class was aware of it and built bunkers and underground cities with all the money they have taken from the working class to ensure their survival while plotting to enslave the survivors using technology and AI?
Just something I’m currently writing a near-future scifi novel about after getting quite deep into the whole topic of Tartaria/mudfloods, antiquititech, fake history, plasma events and UFOs.
I’m aware of some racist/right wing connotations of these topics and that some other narratives have been captured by Christian Right Wingers as well. Please know and trust that I’m anarchist who just wants everyone to live in peace and that I despise the Right with all my heart. I just don’t think we should leave every interesting topic to them.
