I think it's fair to say that pretty much all the dystopian visions of the future from literature and films have now become reality. Brave new world...

True. Unfortunately, however, the Nazi party AfD is quite strong in Germany, whose success is largely due to the fact that the same US corporations that enabled openly fascist candidates to win elections in the US also control the (social) media landscape in Germany.

If we want to preserve our democracy, I believe there is no way around finally putting a stop to the influence that mentally ill billionaires have on public opinion.

Otherwise, Germany will probably end up in a similar situation to the US: With a government made up of corrupt puppets whose Nazi ideology essentially serves to conceal the fact that they are pursuing disastrous, neo-capitalist policies that are exclusively in the interests of the top one percent.
