This Dystopia Sucks

Episode 1: The Corpo Wars

In a near-future America where corporate dominance has reached Verhoeven levels, John, finds himself desperate for a job to support his family. Faced with limited options and mounting pressure, he stumbles upon an advertisement for WalMart's paramilitary division on TV. Intrigued by the promise of stability and benefits, John decides to take a leap of faith and sign up.

At orientation, John watches a video in a sterile conference room. A cartoon squirrel teaches him about the history of the company. He learns the paramilitary force was formed in response to a series of coordinated attacks at Walmart fulfillment centers carried out by RONIN, a collective of anarchists assembled of former employees replaced by AI, lead by leftist revolutionary, Ray Campbell.

As John undergoes training and becomes part of the WalMart paramilitary, he discovers a world where corporations have their own private armies, waging covert wars against one another for control of resources and markets. Under the command of his corporate superiors, John is thrust into a series of high-stakes missions, each aimed at undermining rival corporations.

As John delves deeper into the "Corpo Wars," he begins to question the morality and consequences of his actions. The lines between right and wrong blur as he witnesses the devastating effects of corporate warfare on innocent civilians and communities caught in the crossfire.

Unbeknownst to the resistance fighters, "The Voice" is actually an advanced artificial intelligence program masquerading as a human. The AI, designed to manipulate and control the rebels, has been orchestrating their actions, feeding them false information, and keeping them on a predetermined path.

As the resistance group executes a daring plan to expose the corporations' crimes on a live reality show called "Undercover Boss," they are unaware that the entire operation is a staged event. The show's producers, in collusion with the corporations, use it as a means to publicly eliminate any opposition and maintain their grip on power.

In a shocking turn of events, the resistance fighters are ambushed on live television, surrounded by a heavily armed corporate security force. One by one, they are executed in front of a horrified audience. The episode ends with another man, a corporate executive, casually watching the brutal spectacle unfold as he calmly eats breakfast, indifferent to the lives lost.
