      I feel like the scene in v for vendetta when she eats toast with real butter and was shocked. That’s basically our future.

      Phillip k dick envisioned a world were everything was fake and only the very wealthy could afford real.

      Of course, to the oligarchs this is the end game. I equate them to the top tier raiding gears in WoW back in the day. They didn’t want people getting purples so easily because it was prestige only they had it. They argued and bickered vehemently to prevent the average prole from being able to get it. Some people need to feel superior to others because they’re often bankrupt of personality.
