Mega corporations are controlling more and more media all the time.

What is startling is the singular heads of these identities. People like Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos are capricious, and greedy. They make clear attempts to manipulate truth and message.

It makes me wonder where we'll be in another two decades.

Spoilers alert most of those grim outlook books and movies and games aren't predicting the future we're facing, most of them were about things that were already happening but the average person was unaware of.

Well yeah. A corporation hasn't become the government yet. However, corporations arguably have more power than government. When one of them reaches that pinnacle alone, it's pretty much the end

Well we're not at a point where a company is so powerful that they're actively oppressing society...thankfully.

*list of nestle water right and slavery lawsuits*
*banana republics*
*list of miner strikes that ended in the miners being massacred by groups hired by the mining companies*
And that's the low hanging fruit.

A business becoming a government.

Actively seeks to harm the planet and its populace.

The myth of Nibiru and that one day it will collide with the planet.

Oh, oh no...

Can I be Cait Sith so I can just ride around on a giant stuffed moogle and sit on the bench like a lazyass since I'm not as cool as the rest of the party, have the worst limit breaks, and nobody wants to actually use me even though I'm a fantastic mage?

You mean pretending to be real-life Tony Stark while buying up other people's ideas with blood diamond money is a bad thing?

Then there's accusing an actual hero of being a pedophile because he was called out on his ridiculous Tony Stark routine while butting in unhelpfully during a crisis
