Mad Max
Modern states like Canada and the US are not going to stop transnational corporations from destroying the planet or murdering indigenous peoples for their resources. As long as metropolitan populations demand luxury goods like gold and gasoline, the supply will continue flowing until all the earth is a toxic waste dump.
The US, 5% of the global population, is responsible for 75% of the toxic waste in the world. Unless Americans voluntarily abandon their consumer culture, Mad Max is the world’s future.
