Do we already live in a dystopia?

[Mega Ultra Chicken]

What's your opinion?

[Pierce Dalton]

No, unless you live in North Korea.

The world's always been more negative than positive, but I doubt we'll ever go far to one side or the other unless we get some world changing event that forces such.

America? yes, The (most) rest of the world? no.

I believe so. For over a century, people have warned about the course the general society was on. Obliteration of the natural environment in favor of gray obelisks and endless fields of concrete roads is only the tip of the iceberg.

Atomization, endless greed, doublethink, political tribalism, corruption, and more things which will only get worse.

What I've noticed is that many do not take time to stop and think about our current predicament. Were a person to do it, there's a high chance they'd go crazy.

Yes, of course. Human society is inherently dystopic. It has no redeeming value.

Luckily, it doesn't follow us when we die.

Elaborate? How is it inherently dystopic?

I would say the poor area's are becoming unliveable for many due to all the crime, open air drug use, dirt and anti-social behaviour taking place. While the nice area's are pretty chilled places to live in my opinion.

[Enigmatic]

Depends where you live and how you live.
I'd say we are pretty lucky in North America but many people cause their own problems

Yeah I do. I think the Cia or someone runs the government since the death of Kennedy. And "Our democracy" just refers to the elites and big corporations voting on things without the american public.

I believe the public lost its right to end wars after Vietnam. Congress never even has to declare war anymore, it just gets them.

And the job of the media, is to get the public on board with whatever the elites/lobbies want. And the government doesn't want to solve problems because it wants people dependent on it. It wants people struggling and worried about losing their job and being homeless. It wants people dying younger because social security is wellfare and was a scheme for the boomers/genX to be able to retire. Also some believe in the overpopulation non-sense.

Government exists to extract as much wealth as it can from the public and give it to the lobbies, corporations, politicians.

We are told America is freedom, greatest ever, keeper of peace. But it uses countless coups/sanctions to crush 3rd world countries if they start cutting off the west. So that the west can keep buying or stealing resources for dirt cheap.

And its a uniparty, politics is a circus and bread to amuse the people.

I believe the constitution means nothing, since the public allowed the "Living constitution" to become a thing, The only reason we have things like our guns, is not the constitution which I believe means nothing anymore, its because they fear the public response.

Our government is facist and turning more communist all the time. With the people at the top intentionally trying to destroy the country with endless spending, immigration, progressivism, brain washing, welfare, etc.

The west Salivates at the power china has over its population. Because leaders are often power hungry authoritarians that may be psychopaths and narcissists. And america is no different.

Our own snowden tried to warn us and fled. He'd probably be dead if he hadn't escaped to russia. Assange got his life ruined for exposing american war crimes and he's not even an american citizen.

The government could protect your data, it could stop all the spying companies do on people. But it doesn't want that, it wants access to that data too. It wants backdoors in all our stuff and thats why china made chips and stuff are a threat, because they won't have american backdoors inside it, but china ones. And the 5 eye countries on the west are all about spying on each other's citizens and sharing the data.

America ruled the world and it wants to stop the multi polar world at all cost.
