I instantly thought of the Starship Troopers line and my brain got really confused because Fascists said it in that one.
This then made me realise that the main difference between most fictional dystopias and real life is that the villains in dystopias are always machiavellian and competent, whereas IRL villains are exceedingly lacking in any type of cleverness or style. Literally stuffed suits pushing lowest common denominators for the sake of power - be it money, influence, or control. Jesus, this made me so sad… There’s literally no artistic value in this apocalypse…
I’m right with ya there. So sick of the entire world being wrung dry and mined hollow, all just so that a few people can see a little line go slightly sharper upwards.
And they dont even have the decency to do it with flair. They’re all the same mind numbing flavor of old ass bag of bones or misogynistic and racist, or both. Its too much to ask for the world eaters to be burdened by drip. We’re crushed to death under a burgeoning sigh instead of maniacal laughter.
This is the biggest sin that the oligarchy commits in my mind. Musk has enough money and power to buy Mount Rushmore and have of carved into a giant ominous skull with a laser built in the eye, or create a lair suspended over an active volcano. Bezos has a listening device in half the homes in America, most villains never manage half a city!
Instead I get to see the world end to neglect. It’s bad enough that I have to live trough it, but it’s not even exciting to talk about.
Seriously, it’s like they all share the same fucking personality!
And I may be misreading the whole thing, but I’ve been getting the impression that those on the Right who do actually have a bit of flavour to themselves are slowly distancing themselves from the movement and coasting nearer to the center. They don’t even like each other, ffs!
I swear it’s the biggest mindfuck to me, how the hell can a movement this significant be driven by hate toward the Other, toward each other, AND toward themselves…
Right?! I mean, ffs, we could’ve at least received the LED-backed Neo-Brutalism, but we’re still at glass and steel (and cardboard for residentials, of course - I sure do wonder how planned obsolescence will fit into this aspect as well, we all know it inevitably will…).
The closest thing we got is literally the Cybertruck, and I would not want aliens knowing that my species had that idea at one point in our development. It’s like someone who doesn’t understand cyberpunk at a fundamental level took too much ketamine and tried their hand at doing a cyberpunk.
I’ll not even hope for Brutalist robots, as Apple have infected us with a bastardisation of the Dieter Rams smoothness, they’ll probably look like action figures.
At least the music’s going in interesting directions. It truly has a life of its own, growing like a glorious aural dandelion through the concrete slabs of corporate skullduggery. This Post-Modern sharp turn toward synthesis is doing wonders with reinterpreting tried and tested elements! Well, if one chooses to explore a bit, that is, as the mainstream is mostly Boardroom Pop as always.
P.S.: probably a bit unfair toward other EV manufacturers as some have started taking some risks design-wise. But if vertically oversized grilles become a mainstay, I feel confident in declaring that trend a crime against the philosophical concept of Aesthetics.
It’s afraid! 😈

Hate blinds greater than the brightest light. It twists and pollutes your mind until your thoughts only travel in one direction, towards it.
Beautifully poetic, like a cognitive black hole. Insatiable, unthinking, and vast. Fucking horrifying, that…
It’s bullshit that we got the dystopia without the cyberpunk asthetic.
