This looks pretty distopic.
Crowd control can be a matter of public safety, but the combination of electronic red screen and multiple cameras doesn’t exactly give a pleasant vibe
Return to your hovel, citizen
I’d love to, but it’s the wrong way up the now one-way street.
Apologies, citizen. You may pass. I am but a humble autocop.dystopia is the hundreds of dead bodies crammed together in a Seoul alleyway on Halloween 2022. dystopia is not regulating the flow of traffic
Oh I don't mean that the crowd control itself is distopic. It's only the way that it's done and how the photo is taken that gives a distopic vibe.
I was thinking the exact same thing. This is the opposite of dystopian, this shows a government that cares about citizen safety.
Have you ever seen a crowd surge?
I've seen a surge protector.
No, but I once saw a peanut stand.
