Even then, Conner blames the cheat - the future tech and the scientests & engineers. Not the people who own the company, the military who funds it, the military-industrial-complex or the politicians pushing for it. Nope, just the lone techie who's "responsible" for it all.
Again, slight of hand. It's not an apocalypse if that one person dies. But that's a lie.
We hide the actual threats, because they sit on corporate boards or wear nice suits. We're trained, programmed, to accept it as ok.
