- adventured 13y agoGive it two or three presidencies, and it could very well be an actual thing that happens here. You don't have to disappear a lot of people, just enough to get the word out. Putin doesn't have to kill a lot of people with polonium-210, just one or two public cases does the trick. The future looks obvious: don't fight the state, don't disagree with the state, or else. It's a fascism model, very similar to what Russia currently has (how ironic is that end result?!?). We have the widening rich / poor issue and oligarch class to go with it (which is very common under highly industrialized fascist nations).
