When I first watched that, I thought there was no way it could happen so fast. But it seems to be.

I found that series to be the most disturbing because it is so real and likely. I also thought In Time, Elysium and the Hunger Games movies all portrayed futures the billionaire fascists would love to see come about.

But it looks like Margaret Atwood got it right, unfortunately. And as you noticed, there's no one to stop it.
