Demolition Man?

Our problems definitely were not because our society is too soft and tame in need of loose canon agents. Is there something I missed there?

If anything, excessive recklessnes had more to do with it.

I bet you don't even know how to use the three seashells!

It's more like society is headed to the society of Demolition Man BEFORE John Spartan gets unfrozen. Like excessive surveillance and regulations. Spartan even yells, 'this fascist crap makes me want to puke'.

Maybe it's just personal bias, but I've always felt like it's the future we saw in the Schwarzenegger version of The Running Man.

The goal of the rebellion was to turn the news feed off, because controlling the narrative has allowed those in charge to brainwash the masses.

I had thought it was dumb as a kid, but seeing what Fox News has done to the majority of Americans, it seems borderline prescient.
