[ WP ] The government has finally tracked down and incarcerated all who have typed the word `` bomb '' into Google .

My country was n't as great as it used to be. There was a time where you could freely oppose the government and their policies. A time where you were n't locked up for the most nonsensical charges. A time where you could actually move to another country. And it was also a time where you were n't monitored every single moment in your life. When you had the morbid curiosity about what a bomb would look like, you could simply look it up. Nobody seemed to care. Back when privacy still existed in the USA, there was still a lot wrong with our country. Institutional racism, the power of the corporations and climate change deniers where among the biggest problems of the US. But among all of those problems, there was one we just did n't pay enough attention to. The NSA. We were warned. Edward Snowden leaked the most important data about this in 2013. But we did n't care. Not enough. Although it was illegal what they did, the NSA did n't stop. They continued to gather information, and they continued to store it. It was a disaster waiting to happen. In 2020, President Thompson grabbed power. As a presidential candidate, he came of as a kind man. A man of the people. He seemed to understand what the people wanted, what they needed. But as a president, he became cruel and power-hungry. By now the NSA had been able to grow into the single most effective blackmail-machine in the world. And when they could n't find dirt on you, they'd simply create it. It did n't take long before he had most agencies in his pocket. And after that, most major companies as well. Google, Facebook. Sites used by nearly everyone. Information on nearly everyone. With that kind of power, it was rather easy to eliminate his political opponents. If you did n't agree with him -- hell, if you looked at him funny, he threw you into jail or simply had you killed. It took only one uprising to kill the spirit of the people. 20.000 men were killed in the New York massacre. After that happened, I knew I needed to get out of here. I barely made it across the Mexican border, because, you see, the wall is well guarded with fanatics of the Thompson-regime. Now every single aspect in the lives of Americans was controlled by the government. Today you do n't even think about speaking up against the government. Today, all Americans are prisoners in their own country. Today is also a day, where the only way to find out what a bomb looks like, is to misbehave.
