The Future will be a Will Be A Privatized Corporate Dystopia

I agree with the second commentators view of the future, that we will be a privatised corporate dystopia, and his assessment of wall to wall advertising and images. But what I have to add is the fact that the head of this corporate dystopia will be the companies Facebook and YouTube. With the president of the world or Supreme Galatic Chancellor being Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

In the year 2020, the number of active Facebook user's has risen exponentially to make it that one in every three people on the planet use facebook. According to statistics if it were a country it would be the largest country on the planet. The only thing standing between Supreme Galatic Chancellor Zuckerberg (All Hail the Leader) is the worlds second largest corporate entity, YouTube. During the social media wars of 2015, Zuckerberg financed a takeover of YouTube at the Battle of MySpace. Zuckerberg our Supreme Galatic Chancellor promised to accept YouTube's friend request if YouTube would merge with Facebook and become one galatic self promoting entity the likes of the world has never seen. But after the deal had been signed, Zuckerberg changed his privacy settings and denied YouTubes friend request and blocked him from viewing his personal page.

So now we have the new ruler of the world and his corporation Facebook and YouTube or as some people are calling it now, FaceTube. The future is now a bleak landscape of school children thinking nothing is fact unless they saw it as a post on Facebook. Or the extremely annoying new game show sweeping the air waves right now called, Everybody Poke a Stranger. Where contestants trawl through their list of so called friends and poke everyone, the winner is the one with the most pokes back, the loser gets a lobotomy. But Zuckerberg, sorry Supreme Galatic Chancellor being the nice guy he is, at least let's you take your piece of your frontal lobe home with you in a jar, so you can have something to stare blankley at for hours on end. The world is now full of friend requests and invitations to join online groups about wierd stuff nobody who had a life would ever join. But if heaven forbid you should not accept a friend request than you will immediately be hauled off by the secret Facebook police called the Facebook SS, to be reprogrammed by viewing hours and hours of YouTube videos laced with sublimal messages.

Homes of the future will be just box apartments one on top of the other, far as the eye can see. Where every each of the apartment walls will be covered in plasma tv's running YouTube video's 24/7, this is what keeps the population well behaved and obedient. You may think (please don't) that surely not everybody can be under the influence of Facebook, surely their must be a rebel alliance (finally got my Star Wars reference in) and you would be right. There is a small group of outsiders or rebels who live in the country areas, these people live wierd lives where they read these things called books and they actually talk to people face to face (what savages). But beware outsiders the few who sneak into the cities to syphon off electricity for their hybrid cars and what not, get caught and those who don't get sent for reprogramming through YouTube get sent to the Supreme Galatic Chancellor Zuckerberg's money mines. The money mines an evil place where men go and never come back, a place of horrible paper cuts and ink stained fingers. This is the place where Zuckerberg our most exalted leader keeps all his money, and get's it filtered back and forth between him and the mines.

But has anybody seen the Supreme Galatic Chancellor in person lately, well no. Nobody knows what has happened to him but ever since a fan sneezed on him that one time he left his computer for a Facebook Day Parade their have been rumours. Rumours that he keeps hmself locked away in a darkened room doing nothing but watching YouTube videos and sending random friend requests and pokes to random people. They also say he hasn't showered or shaved or clipped his nails in years and that he pee's in special bottles delivered to him daily through a cat flap in the door. He has fears of people using his hair or dna to clone him and to take over.

Oh, how I pity the future generations. On second thought I might go and post that same thing on Facebook.
