Telling big techbros they shouldn't have built the Torment Nexus is as redundant as calling out any right-winger on their hypocrisy. Dystopia is the point:

"[Billionaires] sell us cynicism. They can't sell us hope, because realistically hope would look like the unraveling of everything they represent. There is no place for billionaires in a hopeful future."

Billionaires reinforce a dystopian reality instead of preventing it, because they picture themselves WINNING at it, and sell the idea that we can too, like heroes in our own video game.

"We SHOULD view the world as a dystopia-- and with the help of These Products, we can triumph over the rabble and wreckage that stands in our way."
