Petition to call this Dystopia Creep. Torment Nexus is when media illiterate techbros make something from fiction and completely miss the point that the cool thing is bad. Dystopia Creep should be when late stage capitalism gets more evil than writers thought possible.
Imagine being a repo man tasked with taking another man's prosthetic limb in public. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I'd literally wake up every day asking myself if I'm a bad person and I would KNOW the answer is yes.
In sixth grade I heard about people making money from medicine. I couldn't fathom how that was allowed and it's crazy to see how much worse it's become.
Grimly amusing that there are people in the UK who are honestly pushing to end nationalised medicine to replace it with this kind of thing (mostly people who can afford privatised medicine and don't see why they should pay for other people's healthcare, ie selfish people).
OW2s newest hero Hazard literally became an anarchist because of this (and other things, but this was the tipping point). Life stranger than fiction, etc etc.

P.s I liked repo the opera doesn’t mean I want to live in it.
