Basically picture the current worldwide economic collapse...but about a thousand times worse. I am using this idea for the FF I am writing(shameless plug, check out Unshackled in the FF section). Really unless JC pulls a major handwave for the sequel I really don't see how the sequels won't end up in a lot of bloodshed. Human nature is to be greedy, and money grubbing. If something messes with our profits we are going to get angry...and get even.

Now on topic of activists on earth. I like to picture them as Eco-terrorists to the extreme, probably to the point of rejecting "technology" to show that they want things to change. I could see them conducting "civil disobedience" with bows and arrows. Okay maybe thats just because I practice archery and would probably be doing that. Soon as the mega-corp show up I am going full on protestor!

Looks at reports about how Wal-mart and "Wal-mart international" are currently the first and third "largest" corporations in the world.

TO WAR!
