We Are Living in a Dystopia * 4

One move outside the public norm and you're on camera and shamed on the internet. It's horrifying how we live.

That's because we now have all this technology without ever having collectively questioned society and its ethics. Some people have, but we're in the far minority. Most people are perfectly OK with the oppressive social norms they get used to from the day they're born.

definition of dystopia: an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. :lol:

This is an example of how people can often lose sense of the bigger picture. Life right now for almost everybody in this country is a lot better than it used to be centuries ago.

I'm pretty happy right now with my cushy life, it would have to suck waking up at 3AM every time the rooster crows so I can plant my harvest and chop some wood by axe just to be able to stay warm in the winter. Take 4 hours to scrub all my laundry by hand, have to walk 3 miles to reach the closest neighbor just to send and receives messages into the real world, have to carry heavy buckets full of water all the way from the well just to have enough bath water to ration and reuse with the rest of the family.

it is when you have no to little wealth. being poor outside of people not working at all, is really hard work. perpetually being grinded does just what it sounds, grind people down.

i totally understand and agree with both of you about modern convenience but that doesn't mean other modern stresses have not replaced the old set with in some situations equal or excessive.

While that is true, that life is not easy, especially the poor. You can't take out of consideration the fact that even life for the poor has also vastly improved over time.

It used to be that the poor during the Industrial Revolution worked 20 hours a day with no overtime, no breaks, no labor laws, making 25 cents a day. It is precisely because of the misery and exploitation of the poor in history, and because of unions, that that we now have things such as labor laws that protect you from slavery and abuse.

When in a discussion like this, i think looking back on how bad it was before is always an invalid argument; you can always go back to a shittier time and use that point with saying ´Stop whining you little bitch, in the prehistory you would´ve gotten eaten by bears´, its just not useful, and does not add anything to a viable discussion.

But this is supposed to be about how dystopian society is. Can you really say it's dystopian if it's still arguably and comparably better compared to almost every other time in society in the past? 

OP says, "One move outside the public norm and you're on camera and shamed on the internet."

But that is actually much better than what used to happen. Mobs with pitchforks would tie you in the middle of the city and put you on display so people could torture you and throw shit at you, they'd even hang you or burn you to death if they were really pissed at you, or in the Roman days they sent you to the coliseum to get mauled to death by lions.

I can see the argument about dystopian society being made if somebody mentions a time in society where serious world war and atrocities are going on, or if the government is implementing policies that seriously infringe on personal rights and welfare, like eugenics. Like North Korea, absolutely dystopian society.

I'm just trying to put things in perspective.

When I ride a bus with 20 people and there are 15 cameras on there all with the capacity to broadcast to the entire world I know that I'm being watched in a way that is at least comparable to Orwell's vision.

To be fair, those cameras are there for public safety, to capture incidents of violence and what not.

Now if they installed cameras in hotel rooms and bathrooms and other locations where you are expected to retain a certain level of privacy, yeah I'd say that's extremely Orwellian.

Living in a dystopia...

Putin helped Trump into power.

The far right is rising in refugee flooded Europe.

China is raping Africa monopolizing the last resources of the world of our children.

We're doing just fine thank you.
