Further evidence towards a Dystopian, totally militarized future

A new report came to confirm of what many already suspect about a global, totally militarized future, even in the most developed countries. It appears that a booming industry of weapons to be used inside the urban centers, is exploiting the violence brought by extremists inside those centers. Terrorist attacks are also exploited by the governments to proceed in further suppression measures.

...

The nightmarish scenario shows that this Dystopian, totally militarized future may come quite sooner than we should probably expect. However, even more remarkable is the fact that this latest study predicts that “This market is expected to generate revenues of over USD 3.5 billion by the end of 2020.” and “Demand for such equipment is expected to rise during the next few years.

These forecasts are perfectly aligned with the predictions of a report from 2016 Davos economic forum. As already mentioned in previous article: “The study estimates that there will be no 'widespread societal upheaval—at least up until the year 2020', due to the takeover of jobs by artificial intelligence, but is this realy a reason not to worry seriously? Think about it: 2020 is only four years from now! Say, at the end of the new US presidency.
