    “We live in a dystopia”

    Said the dude

    With access to running water

    Food

    Medicines

    Rights

    Technology

    Opportunities

    Privileges

    That 99% of the whole world population doesn’t have and won’t ever have access to, even in their wildest dream

    This dude doesn’t need to worry about being sold into slavery

    Or leaving his country just to avoid persecution be it political or otherwise

    Or working 24/7 non stop

    Or being caged just to be a source of entertainment for others

    Having his limbs chopped for food.

    Being used as a tool to relieve sexual stress

    Being extorted into war and crime just to save his family lives

    Being forced to murder and rape perks just to not be murdered himself

    Or being used as a human shield against his will or else

    Having his organs harvested to pay debts

    Murder his own family and children to avoid them the pain of being abused and tortured to death

    All things that happens daily in our current world

    And yet he says he lives in a dystopia nightmare

    while sitting on his couch

    At his parents or his own house, owning property

    Stoned out of his mind

    On his latest generation phone that he probably got to pay for on easy installments or was gifted to him

    Having had breakfast and a good night sleep

    While having access to the sum of the whole world knowledge at his fingertips

    And working a couchy desk/customer service job which requires zero skill whatsoever

    Yes we hear you and feel so sorry about your pain. Let us commiserate together about how bad YOU have it.

    I’d like to think people like this are not real, but in case they are, I just wish them to experience the most slowest and agonizing of lives

      Lists all the terrible awful things going on in the world.

      How dare you complain about the suffering of others, shut up and be happy you get to have the privilege which is built on said suffering.

      What a fucking take.

        Yes we all are sure now that you don’t understand that is not the standard of living for everyone in the planet, hence hardly qualifying for a dystopia kennel

          The fact that those things happen at all makes this a dystopia. No matter if you’re the person they happen to or not.

          The fact you don’t understand that those who don’t have to deal with the horrors of the world are still angered, hurt, and tired of them, even if they don’t deal with them directly, is very telling.

          The people you’re describing are bitching because their internet is slow, they’re observing the collapse of the American Empire as innocent people get whisked away to fucking death camps.

          They’re tired of the evils of the world, and they’re even more tired of said evils encroach on even more peoples daily lives.

          This shit isn’t rocket science.

      You do realize that most people don’t know the truth, right? That the world doesn’t need to be the way it currently is? That we have the empathy, technology, and ingenuity to solve these issues with awareness and action?
