Oh god, dictators that live forever. Wealth that can be amassed and hoarded across a billion natural lifespans. Orwells boot stamping on a human face for eternity made real.

Death is a feature not a bug.

Probably not a realistic view of the future, since those dictators won't need citizens.

Oh they'll still need them, but only to stomp on their human faces.

What's the point of being a dictator if you cannot actively demonstrate your abuse of power on and in the presence of other people?

Up to now all dictators, oligarchs, billionaires died or more preferably were actively destroyed.

You have fun with that.

The world is more free than it has ever been, and it's getting better.
