That may be the endgame, but they're some way from that at the moment. Still too much autonomous control amongst the population. I think they'll authorise universal credit if it benefits the long-term plan of increasing dependency and compliance - which it unquestionably will. First , strip people of their independence. Second, make them incapable of revolt. Third, impose authoritarian control on the weak - by this point the death of democracy won't be mourned, it will be celebrated.

Scarily, I think all three of the above are underway.

In my opinion we are yet at that point. We are too dependent on our jobs and increasing artificial needs that no one is willing to revolt.

Glad I'm not a serious PC gamer. those guys seem to get fleeced on the regular. Granted many of them can afford to waste their money, but still. I do have a very high spec PC, but I'll be using that for 6 or 7 years now as is. Unlikely I'll be upgrading unless a part fails. In the past I've only had to replace faulty PSUs.

@DE4life I’m not sure that it’ll tag you properly, but do you remember how I said it could be interesting seeing In Flames doing something with shoegaze? I think I’ve finally got a clearer example as to how that could go than Liberation, especially with something actually melodeath in nature instead of modern IF. It’ll never happen, but if Björn was to be stuck in the past in any sort of way, I’d love to hear something like this. Funny that it’s DT doing it so many years ago.

And random aside, but I recently realized that In Broken Trust’s riff is halfway ripped from Weight of the End by DT. The effects on the guitars in IBT are super cool and help it to feel a bit fresh, but you can absolutely hear it.
