This is somehow the most depressing depiction of the future I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot, holy shit. This shit used to feel like dystopian hyperbole but... not anymore, it feels so possible and it's it's horrible and gross and there's so much feeling here and I can't words properly, reading this makes me want to set fire to the entire 1% personally.
Oryx and Crake, but with ponies!

I don’t think I’ll see so many people simultaneously hate one person so massively as when Jeff Bezos fucked off into space in a metal cock.

Eh, most people were fine until they realized he'd be coming back.
10982626
Same. Like, this is exactly what I was about to say. Jesus Christ, skirts.

Agreed, most excitement came from the chance to watch his come back down hard. Dissipated the moment parachutes opened.
Well, that was fucking depressing.
Horrifying on every conceivable level. Orwell didn't go far enough. Not only is the face-stomping boot automated, it charges for the privilege.

Oh good, I wasn't the only one thinking that. Though knowing Crake, he'd probably make actual ponies just to demonstrate how stupid the idea is. And then they'd end up becoming the dominant species on Earth.
That is how Equestria becomes reality: Through genemodding, scorn, and irony.

hell yeah g*mer

"I wish to emigrate to Equestria -- PLEASE!"
Thus was great! Thank you! Also, I died laughing about the MC. I don't know if you did it on purpose (has 0% to do with me, but that's one way to settle an argument.).
Regardless of any underlying motives, this was a very neat trip through a horrifying dystopia. I always love your stuff.
Nice try Skirts, but I'm already dead inside.

If it's any consolation, humanity would almost certainly be wiped out way before we had a chance to fuck up quite that badly.
Getting serious Last Tears vibes here.
Aside from the seemingly real and eventual incoming dystopia heading our way: societal values related to virtue no longer existing, beings with benign indifference towards their fellow person, desperation and cruelty becoming commonplace in the public eye and the corporate breadcrumbs I'll be fed to keep the machine going while stuffed in my personal pod 2x2m personal pod which I'll be grateful to have. I thought about language. When reading garbled translated text. It's just like my favourite Chneighniese cartoons!
A terrible example I could try thinking of is hearing someone say they love you in your native tongue. In English, it might be *cringe* and provoke the wrong response. It might be seen as sarcasm, or it might be second guessed it was a joke. Saying the exact same thing as 'I adore and treasure you' might be treated more seriously with more respect. It's how you say it - whether the intent is the same or not. In translated garbled text, idioms and commonphrases that might have loaded meanings behind them get lost to me. They get filtered, and become more pure, more direct in purpose. I lose the confusion in nuance; of the baggage that society attaches to these phrases and all I see is direct action and intent. Things like these, in my mind, have an easier time being more poignant and leaving an impression.
An idiot thought to think about. But is probably one reason why watching a series with subtitles leaves more of an impact on me than listening to a dub. Despite the plot being the same, if the infliction and pronouncation, the nuances and idioms, doesn't sound right the series messages might get lost to me as I might treat it as insincere. Pony is lucky to have made itself seem sincere enough for me to believe it. Only that and one other Chneighniese cartoon has given me that warmth. And as a approaching wizzard who cannot see a owning a house being financially feasible anywhere in the future - like Gabriel - I'd hold close to my chest whatever small embers of warmth I can afford to as well.
That is such a horrifyingly possible future that I had to stop reading at one point.
I hate the idea, like the story.
Wow those videos in the author’s note were eye-opening. Wonder what the last one was
Holy 💩, that was dark. If civilization ever devolves like that, I can only hope that I don't live to see it.
There was hardly enough pony for this to count as mlp fanfiction.
Despite the dark tone, I can't resist quoting "Star Trek":
The doctor gave me a pill and I grew a new kidney!
