Everything Orwell and Atwood warned us about is coming true
I just read a blog post from a former Twitter employee, who confirmed that Musk had been using AI and bots to influence the US 2024 election. I'm from India so no stranger to election fraud. In fact, our current government mastered the art of how to influence elections through social media way before the US did. The only difference is no billionaire in our country has bought a social media company yet. Our billionaires are more interested in creating monopolies and spending lavishly on their children's weddings.
Honestly, the whole world is fucked right now and we can't do anything. Unlike the previous centuries, we can't even resist because social media and porn have rotten modern men's brains. Forget resistance, Gen Z men can't even go to doctors' appointments without their monies.
I had the option to leave this country for better opportunities when I graduated from college a decade ago, but couldn't due to family reasons and some of my health issues. I regretted my decision for years. But after the 2024 US election and the possibility of Nazi-ish governments popping up all over Europe, I think I made the right decision.
The world is fucked anyway. Everything that Orwell and Atwood warned us about is coming true. So I'd rather die in my own country surrounded by my family than in a foreign one as a woman of colour. I hope an asteroid hits earth destroys us all before the world turns into an amalgamation of Oceania and Gilead.
