Panama Papers

Reply in thread

Ján Kuciak, murdered together with his wife in their house, in their bed while sleeping. Meanwhile our current (Slovak) government party at that time campaigned and promised to “catch their killer and solve the murder”. You can guess whether they delivered on that promise( spoiler: they didn’t)

Fake your death, orphan your kids, why kill them. Plus, it has a benefit that you can disappear from your old life and start anew! Somewhere in Finland or Norway or Japan.

Also, propaganda and censorship is a hell of a drug

Edit: grammar and also a disclaimer: I would rather see it wouldn’t go as far as during WW2

Like the whole premise of the story is exactly what this article mentioned: a multi billionaire CEO with a god complex completely wiped out the entire human database to erase any information of how he destroyed the world to protect his ego and image. Also why the new world is basically just bronze age level tribes.

Funny that the one thing all three scenarios have in common is: “misled people that vote”. I wanted to write “dumb and ignorant people voting” but I wanted to be generous
