Remember all that critical theory stuff people were freaking out about a few years ago?
It's basically about how society arranges itself to benefit the people who have the power in a society.
Like how crimes against business and capital are serious crimes, but crimes against workers are usually treated as paperwork errors.
Compare the number of people arrested for shoplifting as opposed to the number arrested for wage theft.
Or about how the murder of one CEO gets weeks of media attention and a potential development of new systems by the police to keep it from happening again, but we've already moved on from the last school shooting, and our official policy is "yeah, that'll happen from time to time"
Cyberpunk dystopia, but without the cool ass shit, just a lot of ways to die horribly.
just a cyber dystopia, missed out on the punk
Yeah, this is definitely the Kenny G smooth jazz of dystopias. And I mean that in all of the worst possible ways.
Be the punk you wish to see in the world.
