I swear I saw a movie about this, but I can’t remember the name.

Anyway, the future is bleak. How are we all spending our Armageddon?

Minority Report....

And if you consider that in this movie not only mass surveilance is everywhere but also that nearly everyone seemingly has the cold... well...

It's alright, we all sometimes miss sarcasm on the web.

Poe's law is a thing, and assuming that everyone is joking when there is NO indication of a joke (especially in a medium that cannot convey tone without lOoKiNg LiKe YoU'rE hAvInG a StRoKe) makes the internet a worse place for actual discussion. Use basic internet hygiene, and remember to close your sarcasm HTML tag, using the following code as an example:

I'm sure glad that everyone is kind on the internet, and they don't call others stupid for making the assumption that someone is being genuine!

Or the following method, which works when you need to mark the entire as sarcastic:

I'm sure glad that everyone is kind on the internet and they don't call others stupid for making the assumption that someone is being genuine! /s

People who have seen that movie have a 99% chance to dislike this tool, and therefore a 100% chance to murder. We should jail these dissenters before they can act.

Wonder how many politicians will magically not be on the list?

Only the opposition politicians are on that list

This is cool! We could even arrest them and charge them before they carry out their crimes

The UK government learned the wrong thing from Bomb Rush Cyberfunk it seems

Sounds like the Minority Report was the prediction.

It's easy: if they support communism, then they are good, if they don't then they are lumpenproletariat and will definitely commit crime
