What kind of world are the Orange and his puppet master billionaires building?

Are we headed for slavery, extinction, the matrix or some other post apocalyptic future?

How do these despots think that food arrives?

At the moment it seems they're hell bent on global destruction.

The end game is a cyberpunk-esque corporate controlled future. No government, only companies/the owning class deciding what's happening. Yes, slavery essentially, because people have to work for them to survive, but that's already done. No "less work" savings because of rising productivity, only more and more money/power centralized in them.

The government is the only one stopping me from buying a small patch of woodland and building a cabin there to live in. Get rid of that and suddenly I no longer have a reason to work more than a handful of hours a month.

I'd rather kill myself, and I have plans on how.

I don't want you to kill yourself. But I hope your plan includes taking a few billionaires with you :D

No, just blowing up somewhere quiet that won't do too much damage, but I did think about it, and it's unrealistic. I just want a plan B for when things become intolerable. I won't be a slave.
