6. This really messes up my head

It's like the powers that be have already decided to give up on bread and circuses in favor of naked repression.

Why? Do they know about bad things coming down the pike, about scarcities and uncontrolled environmental devastation?

Or have they simply gotten so greedy that they don't want to share any of it? It's all My Precious, and any shred that goes to someone else is their personal loss.

The repression of the late 60s was at least based on something tangible -- on massive demonstrations and riots and chaos in the streets. There's nothing approaching that now.

So what are they afraid of?

Something is very wrong.
