Yes we do live in a dystopian nightmare. It's just that most people posting here, including myself, live a fucking privileged life, where we don't have to share the same worries that about 80% of the world population have, including a large part of even the US population nowadays.

We (the privileged people) are the baddies from all those dystopian stories.

Doesn’t help when an over privileged brat with full access to devices and the internet then just posts weak ass generalist complaints like this.

Movements make a difference by targeting problems with specific details. Not just whining about them with general, diluted, unintelligible babble designed around some indescript, unnecessarily abstract problem forever just out of grasp.

This was a dog whistle for indifference and hopelessness. This was bait and it does fuck all to do with fixing any real problems.
